The death of Richard Trevithick

[@terrydonegan1622]

I live a few hundred metres from his monument of his 'Penydarren' steam engine of 1804. Here in Merthyr Tydfil

[@terrydonegan1622]

And the people of Merthyr Tydfil love him too. Thank you for the video

[@heithyboi]

I am a descendant of Richard Trevithick

[@terrydonegan1622]

Really? You'd eat for free in Merthyr Tydfil I'm sure!!

[@terrydonegan1622]

Please explain how you are related. Im very interested

Commentary says he died in 1883 should be 1833.

Great content, the music is too loud when played through the telly and DUCHY! xx

[@MarkThomasChannel]

This is a common with smart tv apps, Correcting it makes the music too quiet on computers, phones and tablets. You cant win!

[@happymevids]

@@MarkThomasChannel Try telling my parents that. I explained to them about free content on a shoestring, but they expect the standard of the £5 billion plus BBC. The County as opposed to Duchy thing was shocking though xx

[@kernow..exp.]

It would be fantastic to repatriate him back to kernow

[@jorybennett5932]

Why don't they excavate the site? There can't be many 6' 2" men buried in the cemetery at the distance described. And DNA testing involving descendants would confirm identification. If they can rediscover Richard III after 700 years under a carpark, surely they could find Capt'n Dick in a closed burial ground after 187?

Isn't strange how great inventors die poor look Tesla..

[@MarkThomasChannel]

Inventers are usually very bad at handling money.
