تحميل "Darwen Tower | Jubilee Tower | Blackburn | Lancashire | 4K walk"

Join us for this virtual Darwen walking tour The octagonal Jubilee Tower (generally called Darwen Tower) on Darwen Hill overlooking the town of Darwen in Lancashire, England, was completed in 1898 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and also to celebrate the victory of the local people for the right to access the moor. It was opened to the public on 24 September 1898. The architect was R. W. Smith-Saville and he modified the plans for the tower slightly. The Darwen Tower is 85 feet (25.9 m) in height, while Darwen Hill is 1,220 feet (372 metres) above sea-level. Walkers can climb to the top of the tower via the internal staircase to admire the views of North Yorkshire, Morecambe Bay, Blackpool Tower, Cumbria, the Isle of Man, North Wales, Derbyshire, elsewhere in Lancashire, and surrounding moorland.

Packmen, peddlers, farmers and labourers used tracks and moorland paths to go about their business. In the 1870s the Lord of the manor of Over Darwen, the Reverend William Arthur Duckworth, blocked ancient rights of way preventing access to the moor even though he was an absentee landlord. Game rights were a valuable commodity and Duckworth did not wish to have his land devalued by trespassers on the moors. William Thomas Ashton, manager of Eccles Shorrock's mines at Dogshaw Clough and Entwistle Moss used the moorland footpaths well to deliver coal to farmers and other customers. Whenever Duckworth's gamekeepers blocked his way Ashton cleared the paths. The struggle led to the courts where Duckworth lost and in September 1896 people resumed walking the moorland footpaths and, as Ashton died in 1884, his sons led a procession onto the moors in celebration. 00:00 - Jubilee Tower 1:25 - First level 2:47 - Top 5:19 - Darwen Hill https://www.wikipedia.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's stay connected: ►Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJOnAYJLSFhUrsL-liDEsA ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ukeoluk/ ►Buy me a drink: https://ko-fi.com/muruk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4K 30fps first-person perspective 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞d 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨, 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞. ✌ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darwen tower Darwen JubileeTower Darwen hill #darwentower​ #JubileeTower #Darwenhill #countryside #4kvideo #walksinlancashire #uk #lancashire #blackburn #darwen #lancashire #england #BlackburnwithDarwen
