Hey Folks. In this weeks family friendly history vlog we explore what remains of the Wadbury Valley near Mells. We talk about the industrial revolution in this area and how a family called the Fussell's changed the landscape we know today.
There are a lot of abandoned buildings and workings here, perhaps even more than we discovered in todays explore and walk.
Don't forget to pop along to Elliot and Joes Channel too which can be found here: / @ghosttheory

[@michaelpilling9659]

.What a fascinating video. Again, you've found history on our doorstep that probably nobody knows about. The Fussells must have been way ahead of their time. What a pity that by 1895 production had ceased, and the company folded in 1900.

Yup way ahead and some.

[@tonymaries1652]

The ruin of the Fussells' works is a fascinating place and it is easy to spend all day there. Their products were the best edge tools you could get but sadly the business eventually failed and the buildings were left to fall into ruins because the agricultural world had moved on. By the end of the nineteenth century farmers didn't want dozens of workers doing everything by hand, they wanted machines. Enter the likes of Marshalls and Ransomes and goodbye to Fussells. What was left of Fussells was sold and via various changes in ownership ended up as part of Spear and Jackson. As always a fascinating video and I always look forward to your latest. I hope that you have got enough content in hand to keep going over the next couple of months until things start to open up again and we are all allowed to travel. I guess you filmed this video a few weeks ago, maybe in November. I went for a walk from my home yesterday and met quite a few other people on my way from Shepton Mallet halfway to Frome and back. The topic on everyone's lips was how far that little word 'local' means and whether they will be unlucky enough to be stopped by the police and asked where they are going. My mother told me that three women sitting outside a cafe in her village this weekend, who had all walked there from their homes in the village, had been questioned by the police and told to go home.

Enjoyed that, once again, as I went to school at Wells Cathedral and this area was one we went through on the way to Bath etc. Lots of rain I remember.

They do show local maps in a lot of their vids (especially the lost railroads and tunnels!) but I agree. I’m not very knowledgeable about the regions within the UK so a whole country map would be really neat!

[@TheEulerID]

I am reminded a little of the Hammer Ponds in Sussex which date back to even earlier industrial times, a critically important part of the iron industry in Tudor and Stuart times. That involved a lot of damming of small rivers and streams through steep hills. Water power was critical for driving the bellows for blast furnaces, not to mention hammering of course.

[@pwhitewick]

[@smiffy1947]

Glad you have finally been to the Fussell works which I believe I mentioned to you about a year ago. I first visited about it 25 years ago with a friend Ray Glover who wrote a little book of walks called Lesser Known Mendip, which includes a sketch map of the site and names its constituent parts. The site had just been cleared of a lot of the undergrowth but you still had to look where you were putting your feet! I have many photos of the site in that condition. By the way, if I remember correctly, a certain John Horner was commanded to carry some property deeds to London to present to King Henry 8th during the 16th century dissolution of the monasteries. Apparently not all arrived and the Manor of Mells was subsequently acquired by none other than “Little Jack Horner” of nursery rhyme fame. Some plum! Or so the story goes....

[@pwhitewick]

Well thats fantastic Mike. Thanks for sharing.

[@rupedog]

Its all mostly gone now, if you have pics from 25+ years ago, I am sure Frome Museum woud love copies - and the sketch map from the book. I am local, but noticed increased building (maybe conservation?) works there over the past year, so I have been wondering what was happening there (maybe a 'Grand Designs restoration?!!), and stumbled on this video. It would be great to see the pics from 25yrs ago - could you do a KZbin video of them?

[@emaartamor]

​@rupedog I had a tour around the restoration site recently by the guy who has brought the land where the Iron Works is and he is restoring the west side building into a home and is going to power it by the river. One man band and later a plumber and electrician will be on site. Very aware of the bats and protection of the factory remains. So fingers crossed it'll look great and maybe accessible for the public to visit. There will be a display/ mini exhibition area of finds, such as tools excavated.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Brilliant video as always. Could there have once been a building over the river at 06:07? The whole site reminds me of Healey Dell in Greater Manchester.

[@malcolmsmith6615]

That was differently interesting (if there is such a phrase). I love water management; designing it is a skill in its own right and it’s probably why I love manually working canal locks! Interesting point about sprocketed chains; the Romans used them, including in connection with mechanisms for lifting water out of wells. I expect Fussell took them a step further and patented them. Another good (and subtly different) video. Thank you. And Rebecca - umbrellas clearly make you walk faster in the rain 🤔

[@neilbain8736]

I've been waiting for more on Fussell since the last video about the canal and his caissons. I could spend all day there trying to figure what went on and when and probably failing. Someone of that ingenuity would be bound to have tried out things and there might be evidence left of his way of thinking in the archaeology. There's certainly evidence of later use or repurposing too. I've discovered that if you microwave a jar of Marmite for say 30 secs on full till liquid, you can add some of your favourite hot chilli sauce to taste- as a guide, say enough to top up a jar that's about 1/8th used. Stir well, let it set, and spread liberally. It's a marriage made in heaven that's too easily overlooked. You can do it with Vegemite too but it doesn't heat the same. It stays fairly gloopy like heated bicycle grease, so it needs a jolly good stir to mix in the sauce. Both go well with potato scones and oatcakes, (and quite possibly the Vegemite option is suitable for Shimano mid range hubs- so I've been told ).

Hi - nice video! James Gale is the name I use for music - actual name is (wait for it...) James Fussell. I was part of the Bristol Industrial Archaeology Society (BIAS) team that worked on the Fussells' Lower Works site for years in the 1970s.There were a few publications in the BIAS Journal. I guess you're familiar with the late Robin Atthill's book 'Old Mendip', which has a chapter devoted to the Fussells, though quite a bit more has become known since the book was first published. You probably know that there were six Fussells' works in total: not only Mells Lower Works, the big one and the main subject of this video, and Mells Upper Works, which you just touched on, but also Chantry Works, Great Elm Works, Nunney Works and Railford Works; there were also other edge tool works associated with the extended Fussell family by marriage! The Fussells had other interests too - they were quite heavily involved with one or two of the local coal mines and with canals and railways. Then there was the brewery... (And I am, indeed, the father of the James Fussell who commented below!)
