SCANDAL on CASTLE HILL

Linda Beever contacted us regarding the plight of Castle Hill just south of Huddersfield. A well-preserved Iron Age hillfort with archeological remains of a Medieval castle. Now subject to an approved application for the construction of a 6 bedroom hotel on the top. Historic England have withdrawn their objection based on plans for a visitor centre detailing the site's past. In this film we consider the history of the hill and take a look around it today, before undertaking a virtual tour of the planned centre. Linda presents her arguments against and the wider implications for historic monuments in our country.

More than that in fact. Research, filming and editing takes days and days per video. I have no other income. I'm passionate about what I do here. But I cannot live off the ad revenue. It is not sufficient. I don't want to change the style of the videos to chase views. Therefore, I do two other things: 1) Memberships: the income from membership fees really helps. In return I try to deliver fun and interesting content for those members. Sometimes negative people accuse me of "hiding content behind a paywall" - that sort of thing - which is factually incorrect. Before I launched memberships this channel produced one video per week and it still does, plus many of those videos are far more ambitious than before. The member exclusive content is all extra. The public offering has in no way been diminished. 2) Sponsorships: I get that this one is contentious for YouTube Premium viewers who are paying to avoid ads. However, ad revenue plus membership revenue does not produce enough income to live off now. So, until that changes sponsors are selected based on "do we/would we" use the products/services and can we speak truthfully about them. Every effort is made to make these segments enjoyable/interesting/nice to look at. In conclusion, if I must get a "proper job" then it will not be possible to continue making these films. This is my passion, but I live in the west. And that means income is required. Please don't assume I'm wealthy because of my age, I am not. If any of these things annoy you, then don't watch this channel. Critical & judgmental comments will be dealt with accordingly and without mercy. ***** Credits WC21 (UK) Productions Ltd theme tune: Keygenerator - Freesound Roman Gazette theme tune: 8-bit Win – Velda – Epidemic Sound For Historical Hikers theme tune: 514178 danlucas – Freesound Compendium of Curiosities theme tune: Underbelly – Epidemic Sound Coastal Catalogue theme tune: Just Like Magic – Epidemic Sound The Time Tunnel theme tune: Micro – Epidemic Sound Non-Celebrity Anglo Saxon Crosses theme tune: Good, Good – Epidemic Sound Horror History Files theme tune: Eerily Distorted Retro Electronic Sound Horror – CapCut The Institute of Amateur YouTube Antiquarians theme tune – Glaze remix of Keygenerator - Freesound The Almanac theme tune: Rush – DJI Mimo All other music: Epidemic Sound Maps: Google Maps; Google Earth; OS Maps, Bing Maps Old Maps: National Library of Scotland https://maps.nls.uk/os/ LiDAR: Phil Barrett, National Library of Scotland https://maps.nls.uk/os/ Main “Broadcaster”: Darren Spratt Script Consultant: Jim Murray Cameras DJI Pocket 3 Creator Combo GoPro Hero 12 Creator Edition DJI Flip The content creator is a frustrated broadcaster and sole trader.
