Breathtakingly brilliant mate. You told this story so well. He was a brutal man by all accounts and growing up on Whit lane the stories of him are well known but i never knew he was buried over on brindleheath. Really professionally done once again and once again i was glued to the TV. The subject matter yet again is so educational and super interesting. Your brilliant for Salfords history Ant 👏👏👏

Another great vlogumentary Dm, I wonder how many more children where treat this way in the many mills that were around at that time. I have read some books about how people, children were treated in some of the Lancashire Mills. It would not surprise me if Black Douglas was buried there, who would risk digging that plot up. I hope he remains lost and time struggling as he made others suffer. Brilliant well done 👏👏:)

Absolutely fabulously told! I live in a Grade II listed property in Charlestown, just meters from this site. Back 13 years ago, some of those old structures were still there. I used to roam around there, and pulled some of that old brick and pottery from those foundations before it became of archaeological interest. I didn't know the story, despite having been held captive many an hour at my old neighbour's fireside, listening to stories about her growing up on Whit Lane. I have spent so much time in that park on Douglas Green, it does get creepy and odd, I have some strange tales and lots of oddities in the many photos I took of my son when he was little. I reckon the whole of England is literally soaked in scary imprints from what has transpired on the land throughout history. I love your channel! Love that Martin Zero is a viewer of yours! I love his channel as well!!

Well told account, my mam lives the Street after St Sebastian's , grew up in Levens Street and then Chinley Street both demolished now and family used to work in the two factories round there Lockett's and Pioneer Weston's.. suppose all that area was probably part of Black Douglas history. I have heard stories about him but never researched it, don't need to now, great watch. Have you ever considered Cock Robin bridge off Whit Lane, Holland Street and Laundry Street that's got dark local history your dad might find it interesting too.. you remind me a bit of Martin Zero too, that's a compliment

Yeah, the murder on cock Robin bridge is something I want to do a video on. I just need to wait for the right time to do it, possibly Halloween or something like that. My auntie actually worked with the woman who was sadly murdered they worked at brands packaging which was just on the the side on Holland street. Crazy! Haha funny you should say that about Martin, we’ve just filmed a video together. It will be on his channel in October all going well. We did a wild camp and camped out in the woods .

Brilliant video,me and my sister used to live in Kersal and would visit the park every Sunday (roughly 1975) mam used to say be careful of Black Douglas he’d be riding on his horse. We asked her who he was and she said an evil man but never went into detail...anyway to get to the park we had to cross jubilee bridge (other side of st.Alberts) many many times we swore we heard kids crying as we crossed the bridge. Also the factories that used to run along the river bank there near where the mill was,would that have been the bleach works? Or part of his mill? Again fantastic video
@daftmonkey7296
@daftmonkey7296 4 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much mate, I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the kind words. I grew up pretty much directly facing jubilee bridge on the whit lane side (parsonsfield/Britannia street) next to the old house pub. And it always has an eerie vibe to it. If we was to ever play near the park especially towards the weir there was always the sense that something wanted to grab you a strange as that sounds. I left a lot out of the video as some of the facts about black Douglas were too graphic to include into the video. He was truly evil and at the time it must have been terrifying for those poor kids. Yes, bleach works/western oil seals is the land he would owned including the land of Alberts and the little park. I believe the old bowling green would have been his front garden? (Before it was the bowling green) he pretty much owned that whole of that part of whit lane. Crazy to think. Thanks once again mate. It’s much appreciated 🙌🏼🐒

I'm enjoying your videos, this is the 3rd one I've watched. I was born in the Whit Lane area and everyone from there knew about Black Douglas. People were said to have seen him riding his horse along the banks of the Irwell late at night. I read something a lot of years ago, probably in the Salford Reporter that his grave was smashed to bits by kids who had been told how cruel he was to the children who slaved away for him. Also, being a ghost hunter, like your dad, and sensitive to to the spirit world, I doubt I would fancy living in the houses on his land. If he's still around I can imagine his ghost to be a nasty piece of work. I might ask my daughter if she wants to pay a visit to the area on Halloween, weather permitting.

I came to your Vlog thru Martin Zero's channel. Yeah, I don't think I would want to live so close to where his factory was located. I am a firm believer in land being tainted by the blood, fear and hardship of others. I remember reading somewhere that mill owners would have kids working in their mills to clean out the fluff from the machines because their hands and arms were small enough to get into tight spaces. They had to do this while the machines were still running and the kids would get caught up in the machines and maimed.

Thank you so much for checking out the channel Paul, it’s much appreciated mate. Yeah, some of the mill owners would employ theses small children as apprentices to learn the cotton trade but many of them was mistreated and in the case of Black Douglas he really did take advance of the power he held over these poor slave kids. I had to leave a lot out about him as it was pretty graphic but believe me this man was as horrible as they come. Thanks once again Paul, take care mate 👍🏼

I wonder which of his workers is also trapped and told your dad that. If it was the owner he would have said I own them surely.

Very true sue. I remember playing on that very park as a kid (the bowling green) and it took on a totally different vibe that’s for sure. There has to be trapped souls there left over from the misery he inflicted on some of those poor kids. I also left a fair bit out about black Douglas as it was too graphic for the video. He really was a nasty, wicked man. Thanks so much for watching the video. I really appreciate it 🙏🏼🐒

And to think I’ve left a fair bit out of that mate, some of the stories I read and heard about were too graphic to include in the video. A vile man who must have put the fear of god into all the kids he mistreated over the years. Thanks for watching it mate , much appreciated 🙌🏼

You should of went in black duggies cave it's right next to the weir on the river. I went in about 91 and it was the scariest day of my life. If never been back in but now age 42 I think I'm ready to relive the nightmare of that day when I was 11 years old.

I think it’s been filled to be honest mate. Quite a few people have asked me to go, but someone told me it’s been filled due to the redevelopment. I’ll check next time I’m down. Would you be able to spot it from kersal side looking over to whit lane ?

The Black Douglas that they spoke of might be Sir James Douglas who was known as the Black Douglas or The Good Sir James. He was Robert the Bruce's right hand man. This is more of an honour to be related to(like myself) than this particular named alike

A testament to the way you tell story of such an evil 👿 man , I would call Mr Machiavellian himself, he certainly supped at at the Devil’s table , not a very long spoon 🥄 in fact none at all.Unfortunately such evil is still abound.
