Sussex Tollgates - Vintage Bald Exploper
Sussex Toll gates have now disappeared from the roads. In this vintage episode, the Bald Explorer explores the remaining toll gates of Sussex. Join the adventures of the Bald Explorer as he discovers Britain
Before the Turnpike Trusts of the 17th century the roads were dreadful, barely more than simple tracks. When the tolls came into being things took a lot longer to improve. Richard Vobes goes off in this short documentary to find some of the Sussex Toll Houses that once graced the roads and were responsible for collecting the money to improve the roads.

The Bald Explorer meets John Marshall painter of cows

John Marshall is renown world wide for his paintings of cows. It started as a joke twenty five years ago when he tried avoiding contributing art for a gallery exhibition. John used to sketch charcoal nudes. To exempt himself from the gallery he declared that he no longer painted nudes, but he was concentrating on painting cows. This off-the-cuff statement changed his career and nowadays John ca...

Dont gas light . Just because they didn’t recant does not make Mary right for what she did.

for 3,5m £ it's a bargain. You couldn't build a one section for 3,5m in nowadays.

His father Roger is in a very long text pedigree of a great uncle Jones of mine. Been outlining the Jones family across four books for eight years now. Every great grandparent were aristocrats, so Humphrey, and Mad Jack are quite colorful characters to look into. Hoping to publish Volume II soon. Humphrey/Kynastons are mentioned on Page 20 in “The Kynaston Family,” Transactions of the Shropshire Archæological and Natural History Society, 2nd series, 6 (1) (1894)
There was a rave there years ago. Gutted i missed it. 😃
Fantastic moment at 2:20 - so are you saying you won't paint ugly cows?! 😂 Nice one Richard!
awesome,,,thanks for that

Thanks, Richjard, for telling us the history of this interesting little place. In Anglican mythology (I'm CofE myself) a dedication to St Michael and All Angels can have some very odd implications - often it suggests that the building is on a former pagan worship site which has been taken over or, particularly if the church had a previous title and was rededicated to St Michael, that at some point it had been violated, possibly through witchcraft. Presumably, in this case, the former is the more likely?
PS - would you believe there's a paranormal investigation site with a trip to Bedham Church? I've just noticed it. Although it may support my theory, I won't waste my time on it! Your film's more believable.
I am here to watch this video , courtesy Microsoft OS that randomly displayed this wonderful picture on my laptop. Now that I have watched the video with the great commentary of Mr Richard , I will make it into my itinerary on my next visit to the UK whenever it happens.
Shame you aren’t posting anymore I’ve found these quite interesting
When I was a kid you used to be able to go into the cave. There was none of that metal barrier stuff going on. We used to bike there from the other side of Shrewsbury and it was there we used to have our sarnies and a can of something fizzy!!
Thought Peters wife was called Sasha no Stella but maybe he married again He was a good man
Mite as well be walking in the sun 🌞
I think that The Landmark Trust could turn the Racton Tower into a useful building, while maintaining its individuality & providing spots from which it can be veiwed externally as well as maybe allowing entry to maybe part of it once a year, or something.
Yes Richard, you should have a nose. It is considered normal for a human.
I remember this Richard fondly. Im not keen on the new supposedly "Red Pilled" Richard. Sad Times. So many people believing nonsense in favour of reality and our amazing history. None of the latter of which Richard chooses to dwell these days.
Wonderful 💞
Very interesting Richard thank you! 😊
Come visit us. We are taller and have elevator.
well Richard I watched all your videos on this channel I really enjoyed them
Richard I really enjoyed this video and was finally long enough
Richard you said the videos were shorter versions so do you have full length videos of these shows
Richard I love watching your videos the problem is they're too short the video starts to get interesting and then all the sudden that's the end I gather you're not making any more videos on this channel since it's been five years since you met anyone it'd be nice if you came back and made more have-a-nice-day Richard
I would love this job but unfortunately Im not an artist like this fellow. I love cows and a great vid Richard!
Really nice place , I would often go there. To that tiny church there. Is it true it once was larger ?
Thanks for your very informative film , just back after a lovely day there having watched you this morning . most enjoyable .
This is absolutely brilliant
A magnificent-looking structure and a very well made video.
Hey who are you.? What have you done with Richard.? 🤣
Just found this little gem! I used to live in West Grinstead in the 60’s and remember the station then well! Also remember Knepp Castle as I lived in Dial Post as well! Very nostalgic for me as I have been living in Australia for 40 years now! Thank you for visting it!
Watching the Birth as to say of you that has been silenced. This could be a good thing in the long run for yourself, as like myself give us chance to find out your path. Good luck you have my back.
Mary was a dark and deviant Queen, an fanatical Roman Catholic Pyromaniac, who hated Protestants, and feared the freedom that the Gospel of Christ brought to the ordinary people of England and beyond. ‘Faith in Christ Alone’ and not tradition or a controlled church system. Thank goodness for her half sister Queen Elizabeth the First, who continued the Protestant Reformation. We will not for get the faithful 17 believers, who were burned for their faith in Lewes. Thank you for the brilliant overview and the visit to Lewes.
How come I have only just stumbled across this channel? Beats the BBC and I dare say a fraction of the cost!. Wrthy of National TV anyday. Well done Bald Explorer.
Thank you for this fantastic video, full of English history. I've just run into it. Better later than never.
I am reading the rights of man at the moment. Thank you Richard.
YOUR SOUL IS IMMENSE AND IT NEEDS A STEREO
The bricks used in the construction of the viaduct (11.3 million) did not come from the Netherlands they were made locally, the ornamental stone did however come from Caen in France.
Another great find .Thanks for everything you do .Glad you are increasing in your views .
I love walking on the South Downs. I visited the Long Man brewery when I walking to Wilmington.
Thanks for this tour, from a Civil Engineer in NC, USA. So many fantastic places to visit in the UK. Wish it were not so far away or we’d visit all the time. Love to know more about my own “roots” and all the incredible feats of old.
Love this old video. The music is very Fred Dibnah-esque. I'll never forget my first visit and it's a reason to be spooky! With some friends, we wanted to go but decided to go the following night instead. Probably just as well, as on the original night we planned to go, there was a suicide as evidenced by the fresh flowers and rope still in situ in the left small tower. Hence, some of the RIP graffiti. I've been several times since, but never in daylight!
It's a woman. Can it be any more obvious? This is a naked human figure - no costume or headdress is visible. There's no male appendage, so it's female. The posts, or stakes are either side of her and she's holding on to them for support and is about to give birth. In ancient and primitive tribes this would have been the preferred method, using gravity to deliver a 6-8 ibs, 3-4 kg baby. No woman would lie down like an invalid for that reason. Child birth would have been one of the most awesome, magical and mysterious events in the ancient world. This hill figure shows just how important and significant it was. Some have speculated the staves are some kind of portal - indeed they are - the entry from the Spirit world to the world of Man.
i love cows and refuse to eat them. they are ALL slaughtered very young. a cow should live for 20+ years but all cows are slaughtered between 9-18 months old with a few eception for steer- they get to live for 2 years.
