What happens when you cross a bloke from Barnsley, who loves the sound of his own voice, with a 360° camera, and a passing familiarity with history and video editing.

Anecdotes, witterings, and rants to accompany my wanderings around Barnsley.
I’m not even in South Yorkshire today, let alone Tarn, as I traipse around on the trail of the wreckage of the steam trawler Sheraton, that has lain on Old Hunstanton beach since 1947.

In a series of videos, I’m going to be traipsing around several places to find out how a family rivalry drove the development of two of the finest houses in South Yorkshire.

I traipse around Wombwell Woods to the site of yet another long-demolished Wentworth monument, the Blacker Hill Pyramid, while talking woodland pixies, Kes, and World War 2 urban legends.

Not the best quality, not half as good as seeing it in the flesh. A hawk hovers at the edge of Wombwell Woods near Blacker Hill. When it swoops at the end, what a sight!

The hill is, supposedly, where, in Kes, Billy Casper sits and reads his comic.

I traipse through Friar Tail Wood in Rockley, near Birdwell in Barnsley, to the site of the now demolished Rockley Woodhouse, hunting lodge of the Stainborough Wentworths.
