That's a new one for me… Thanks for producing another interesting short film PD….. Loosely connected to your comment, may I suggest a visit to the Somerset Rural Life Museum in Glastonbury if only to view Harriet Mead's beautiful life-size s working horse sculpture created from old and rusting tools… talk about recycling with skill! I'd attach a photo if the facility allowed.
Very interesting! I grew up in Romsey, which had its own remount centre and, for about ten years now, its own memorial sculpture, so was very interested in this.
I wonder if the 18th century Joseph Swetnam was any relation of the early 17th century Bristol man of the same name, a one-time fencing master who became notorious for his (even by the standards of the time) virulently misogynistic pamphlet, "The arraignment of lewd, idle, froward, and unconstant women"?
As I live just up the road, I was aware of the Remount Depot, although I didn’t realise it was quite so big. I’ll have to pop down and take a look at the sculpture. I really like the construction with horseshoes, and it’s connection to the history.
I heard about the thousands of Horses being held at Shire from the former newscaster Kate Adie at the anniversary of the start of the Great War in 2014 Ashton Court.
We're getting spoilt with the frequency of these uploads at the moment, naturally another fantastic video though, had no idea any of this even existed nvm the scale of it. Wish some of it remained and it was more widely recongisied
Love your videos, if you're ever around Doynton (its a bit far out) I would love to see some of it. My mothers family built the house that is now the pub there. They all moved out to Australia in the 1870s.
5:00 The standard area recommended per horse is a minimum of 1 acre, so there can only have been about 100 at any one time, ha ha. Poor beasts, poor soldiers, war is an orrid business.
Just wondering if you are seeing the coverage of Barton House (potential collapse etc) and I was wondering if there is some context which isn't in the press coverage which might make an interesting video? Keep up the great work 👍
This is a first class historical video of Shirehampton past. Shirehampton has a historical origination and a community preceding that of the City of Bristol.
