A Witch Hunt and Where it All Began for the USA

people see it, but it's right in the attic, let's see if I can get my phone out, right in the attic, they have some old Union Jack flags, but the most interesting thing is that they have the original, you can see it from about 400 years ago years or 400 years ago, the camera is turned and when doing so, the original Roman numerals appear of how this entire building should be built. Almost think of it like an Ikea flat pack, it would have numbers four, five, one, two and people would know that construction is how to correlate those Roman numerals and turn it into this building, so it's almost like a modern pack type building. plane, for example. .

I just put my phone there to show a little extra light. I don't know if it's creepy, but it's certainly interesting. And then if you look at the side of the pieces of wood, you have the Roman numerals here and they would have been labeled so that each piece of wood would have been labeled so that the builders would know exactly

where

to place each piece of wood. We find it to be the home of Captain Christopher Jones, Master of the Mayflower, so the captain of the Mayflower who sailed with the adventure-seeking Pilgrims in 1620 to the USA lived in this house.

Who would guess that you know a relatively simple house like this? The person who lived there would be key to shaping the United States from this house. Handcrafted Kawasaki powered tricycle that is a real brat that looks like a three wheeled vehicle. The tank is the tank at the rear. Surely that's just so you don't need a motorcycle license. No, you don't need it, in fact, I don't even think you need to use one. helmet for one of these, I mean, I love it, it's definitely become dangerous like a motorcycle, so yeah, but that's the level of cool you're looking for if you know if you fancy the feeling of helmet-less freedom that's been built into. someone's shed and I love it.

It's eight bars leaning back, flip the s

, you have no idea what, well done, well done. Thank you Welcome to The Pier at Harwich. This is the perfect place for dinner. We are right in front of the sea and you can eat on the terrace. It's about 160 old buildings that have been completely restored and renovated and you can see all the buildings along the seafront here, you know, an indication of the great wealth that came from Britain's naval force throughout the years. The menu here is fantastic, they also have a very good reputation for their seafood and a glass of wine, because after this it's okay if we don't ride for a while.

And that works very well. I got a warning on the Bonneville right down there, you can see it parked nicely when I got off the bike. I got a warning from my Sizzapp device and it said low battery and that's because it was trying to start with the key. earlier. And I knew this would be a problem. I think I only have one more start left before I can't do it anymore. We're heading to one last stop, which is a short distance from here, so I think what we're going to do is leave the bike there, have dinner, and then walk to our last place because I don't know if the Bonneville is going to start. further and then walk back to Ipswich.

Yeah, I think it should be if it's a 50 minute drive, eight hour walk, brilliant, probably about eight hours I'd say, so if we get back at seven in the morning I'd say it's not bad. Oh please, don't let me down, please. It's very well presented, isn't it? Yes. I don't think I've ever tried this. I'm sure it's old school food. Monika has Franjipan and I'm sure I haven't heard that name in a while, but it seems. delicious and this is an orange cake. Yours looks like a first class presentation. Alright, I just upset Monika. Can I tell you a little more history, please?

Okay, so when the Pilgrims disembarked from the Mayflower in the US, they headed to Massachusetts. Monika gets upset about this, but it's so fascinating, listen to this. They arrived two months later than expected in November and did so just as winter was approaching in the United States. About half of the original 100 people on the Mayflower, half died. The following months they had a good harvest, so the next year when they had a good harvest, a year after about half of the people died in the winter, they celebrated it with the local people who lived in the area and called it Thanksgiving and that's

where

the name Thanksgiving comes from; of the first year of the Mayflower voyage.

Another thing that is good to show the influence that this Mayflower Voyage had. This is Massachusetts here, I'm showing here, this is the USA, to take a look at all the names from Truro, for example, there in Cornwall, East Ham, East London, Chatham in Kent, mm-hmm Harwich, from no way. Here yes, basically the English came here and thought we'll call it from somewhere, we know, South Yarmouth, that's of course England, also West Yarmouth, why not? And Yarmouth too. Let's call it that, I'll just do a couple more... 'Cause it's everywhere, Barnstable over there - okay, let's go to Sandwich in Kent - what a name, I mean the only place where you would call something a sandwich.

Yeah, okay, it just started raining, so you have to eat these. What an incredibly rare thing to find. This is a Lee Francis date. These specific colors were first recorded on December 21, 19-28. Wow, he's almost 100 years old. To be completely honest, I had to do a registry check on this. I had never come across this brand before. Look at the size of the tires, they are so thin, almost the size of a bicycle. The wheels are strictly spaced for two narrow cabins. Stunningly beautiful and look at the shape. of that trunk with the spare wheel in the back.

I'm not sure I've ever seen one of these cars on the street like this, okay, you might be wondering why we walked, because I don't trust the Bonneville. I don't really trust it to start more than once and even if it starts once I'll feel incredibly lucky, so we had to leave it there by the boardwalk. We are about to head now to a 110 year old cinema and we will do it on foot. I think it's a two minute walk that way. I think we're actually going to see a screening of James Bond. Should be good since we'll do a full walkthrough of that.

We will watch the movie No Time to Die. I think the last one there is the Electric Palace cinema, which was used as a filming location for the most recent series of Downton Abbey. 111 years and look at it. This is one of the most intact original examples of one of these old cinemas, from the original box office and this is the original box office to the admission signage, one shilling in the old British currency. It is a little piece of history that has just been preserved and this is a community project; In essence, what that means is that it is the community that in the 1980s saved this building because it fell into a huge state of disrepair and for 16 years it sat completely dormant. from around 1956 to around the 70's or so.

Opening on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, if you want to buy, you can get tickets at the box office or go to their website. Really, coming to a place like this, you really support the local community because the community owns it and they are very interested in sharing this with everyone, they are very passionate about it. It is very interesting to talk to Michael, who helps with the general maintenance and operation of the Electric Palace cinema because the way it used to operate, the poorest members of society used to enter through the side of the cinema and the entrance was next to the toilets, the bathrooms right in front of me. here, but the wealthier members of society usually entered through the main entrance and sat in the more comfortable seats at the back of the cinema.

So the poorer members of society would come in from the side and sit on benches here, there would have been benches right in the front back around 1911 and the richer members in the more comfortable seats and they would have come in from the front of the cinema. Fascinating, not only from a cinematographic point of view but from a community, sociological and class point of view as well, and it is one of the reasons why this cinema has been so important in maintaining that history. that inheritance. Like James Bond, it's very fitting that that's the movie we're watching today.

I'm in the original projector room, these are projectors from the 50s, here behind us we have the modern projector, which is what they show the new design of the film, but these are from the 50s and practically nothing in the cinema has changed , everything has held up even when I have to make the restorations completely sympathetic to what cinema was like in 1911. It had been an old flower for a long time, but now I hear something that sounds like a love song, like a meat. It was a very special experience to be able to see James.

Bond in that cinema and you see what cinema used to be. I mean, it's still amazing to go to movie theaters, but the architecture on the outside and inside of the theater, so being able to enjoy that architecture while watching a movie feels like much more than an event. It's a fantastic experience. Thank you very much for visiting Essex over the last two days. Thank you all very much for joining us on this adventure. You can find all the details of Visit Essex and all the individual businesses in the written description below and I have one last thing to do, Bonneville please.

And we couldn't end on a more positive note than we have 50 minutes to get home. Please, Bonneville, bring us home safely. Thank you all very much, see you next time have a brilliant evening.
