I’ve always been interested in the town of Chester. Maybe it’s because my last name is Chester lol
I live here. Very weird to see a video on it. I always feel like the museum is haunted
I delight in watching a video made from you. The videos convey a respect for the people that are worthy of sympathy in their tiny portion of their life which brings us to still remember,,, I ponder about how important memories might be to those that have gone,, can holding memories of loved ones passed or anyone, by the living, be like a form of energy for that soul ? I feel the ancient culture put much more importance in respecting, honoring and remembrance of the dead than the self centered, throw away world of today. I believe in time certain truths will be discovered or disclosed that will fill in the missing puzzle pieces for mankind. Thank you.
Great story ❤
These videos just get better and better – much better than anything I've seen on the telly. I have been to Chester and visited some of the places mentioned so this run through was especially fascinating. Thanks
Thanks great episode
Just seen this, lovely interesting video, been to Chester few years ago , lovely place , thankyou Nicola
I've said it before and I'll say it again Nicola. You really need to contact Audible to be a reader. You have one of the coolest voices I have ever heard – seriously!
What a cruel society England and I suppose everywhere else was in the past. Hanging people that steal food. You could even get hung if you were a vagrant and if you couldn't find work people would beat you. This was a Christian country and yet they had zero compassion.
Head Cheese is like a sliced sausage made in Germany. It's made from pig or calfs head. The brain and everything else is boiled and the process creates it's own gelatin that holds it all together. I've never had it and it sound and looks dreadful. You can still buy it today, at least in delicatessens in the States.
Really interesting channel and content. Also love that west country accent. Good work. Thanks.
I live on the street next to The Pied Bull.
Definitely something spooky about this place x
Just subsribed so happy youtube suggested this to me. You go into so much detail and have such a soothing voice ❤
If you don't know what head cheese is, don't look it up or worry about it. You don't want to know.
Thank you for your channel. I love your videos! ❤ (English, but live in Australia) x
I grew up in rural Tennessee, and as a boy I watched "head cheese" being made. Warning, you may not want to read what follows. The severed head of a pig was skinned and put in a large pot and boiled for hours. When it cooled the meat was scraped off the bone, along with a jelly or aspiclike substance. This all was mixed with salt and spices and put in a mold and pressed til it cooled into a sort of solid sausage like product called head cheese, that was eaten with pleasure–by everyone except me.
Head cheese is just the meat from the head of a calf or pig (sometimes sheep). It is simmered for a long time and ends up becoming gelatinous naturally (probably from collagen). It is then cooled and used as a sandwich spread, or served cold and sliced. Often it is served in aspic, a sort of jelly, with other savory items. Head cheese and brawn are the same thing. They call it brawn when it is combined with spices and herbs then aspic and put into a mold and chilled. Nowadays, head cheese is seen more as a lunch meat that can be found at your local delicatessen. There is no organ meat in head cheese or brawn. No eyeballs, ears, tongue or brain are ever used. It's just face meat, usually quite tender and Victorians loved it. I love your videos! They are so well researched with perfect narration. Thank you!
These are amazing, beyond amazing. Mad respect for your deep dives 🎉🎉🎉🎉
There are ghosts in numerous places around chester
15:00 Do you think he confused karma with korma? 😁
My dad is in the photo of the Romans at the start. Standard bearer for the IIV th legion🥰
Thank you ! For another great video! I never new ghosts made appearances at the time of death! Only one I knew of happened during ww1.
Head cheese = jellied cold cut meat. Steer clear indeed LOL!
Beautiful voice.
I remember meeting the night security guard who worked at the Chester Royal Infirmary after its closure and prior to the private accommodation being constructed. He was a big bloke, very pleasant and rational and didn't seem the type to be easily worried.
However, when I mentioned the size and age of the building , he said that it was the creepiest place that he had ever worked in. Apparently a few incidents had taken place whilst he was there resulting in him making his rounds ASAP and then back to his office by the old reception.
He said that he had been touched on the shoulder on one occasion and no one was there. Other times there were noises that he could not explain.
Very good stories
