Great find!! My family had been in our Victorian house for over 30 years before I discovered a similar path, likely older than the house. Problem was, it had become so uneven it was unusable and dangerous, so my mum wanted me to cover it all back up. I was only 13 or so, but was having none of it, so I dug it all up, made better foundations and relayed it flat(ish) over the course of a whole summer. Looked great. My back ain't been the same since!

Something very satisfying about having a good clear out of your back passage.

Couldn't help but notice the depressions in the cobbles from countless wagons passing through there over time. A treasure uncovered.

Well done for taking the trouble. I am amazed that the previously hidden drain was still running. I assumed that it would be packed full of dirt when I saw it.

Well, when I woke up this morning I had no idea I'd be spending 12 minutes watching a Yorkshireman cleaning out his back passage. Good job, and very neighbourly of you.

The colours in the stone are absolutely beautiful. The transformation is well worth all your hard work.

This is absolutely lovely! I love reclaiming overgrown areas back into use. And now, the area needs way less maintenance then before and causes less annoynace when looking at it.

As a gardener, I am salivating at the possibilities for your garden! Can't wait to see it finished as I'm certain it will be amazing!

You're not afraid of hard work and take huge pride into your work. You're an inspiration. Awesome content.

You're certainly not afraid of a bit of hard work. What a transformation!

I am pretty impressed that with simple equipment and a lot of diligence you absolutely transformed those areas.

Looks great and should make transporting things to and from your own garden a lot easier. I hope the new appearance will inspire the communal owners to keep it neat. Wonder what lies hidden under the tiles and concrete in the individual gardens.

I just love the unevenness of those cobbles. They just have so much character.

Well done, it always surprises me that people are prepared to mess up there own local environment thinking that there responsibility ends at there front door.

Are you going to have the drain scoped/checked for tree roots etc.? What a transformation on that back garden and common area! Great work.

Love the cobblestone. So much better then before. A lot of hard work went in to that area. Great job.

I am doing a refurb of our garden and can fully appreciate the effort you have made. Amazing transformation. 10/10 for effort and result.

Grand job 👌, and all the help you got from your neighbours, was heart warming. 😂😂.

What an incredible result... now you've motivated me to sort my backyard at my home but i'm fearful the result has zero chance uncovering something from so long ago that still looks as fantastic as those Victorian cobbles!

As a gardener, this is exactly the kind of project I would have tackled. What a great improvement.

Those cobbles look fantastic. Imagine the history of all the people that have walked on them over the years. As an added bonus it's now much easier access for the burglars 😁😁

Great job! You've made the passage safer for everyone - those pallet-paths would've been a death trap when wet. And with the cobblestones & brick exposed to sunlight the whole place may even be a little warmer!

Nice to see someone making some effort and taking some pride in a job well done…👍🏻

Great texture, good color and you opened up an unused space, can’t ask for better than that! Fantastic.

I know what it is like to clear an overgrown garden. Watching your hard work was very satisfying because I appreciated the tremendous effort! The result is beautiful.

I’m in awe. A fantastic job, the finished result is lovely.

Such a beautiful space once it was all cleaned up. Hope it is kept maintained that way.

That back yard is very familiar to me growing up in Sheffield many houses were similar to it. Sadly alot of them didn't survive the houses and gennels being flattered for modern developments. Clearly your house has alot of history and character its great your working hard to preserve it protect those cobbles at all costs

You did a great job; doubled the space and set up a beautiful space for a garden. I look forward to see what else you do to that area.

What a transformation you can be very proud of what you have done ❤❤❤😊😊😊

That's looks amazing, very well done and hope the neighbours appreciated all of your hard work.

You did a marvellous job! All on your own! People like you are rare.

Great job! Reminds me of my garden walkway that was hidden under trash, weed and other stuff, after pressure washing and using a shovel before, you can actually walk down it. Love the "waviness" of your cobble stones, looks like they were forced down under heavy carriages over decades ... Thx for showing! 👍👍👍

Masterclass of patience and hard working. Good job!

Well done, it's always rewarding doing jobs like this.I often find it's keeping it like that which is the hardest part lol.

Awesome job, i can appreciate the amount of work that went into clearing that lot.

É muito gratificante ver algo limpo e organizado! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That scrubber is something I've never seen anything like it. The stones look magnificent. I watch a lot of English movies and area around there and have never seen any of this. I hope you show more of the area's around the outside of the home too. Thank You

Le quedó hermoso. Mucho trabajo, pero valió la pena. Me gustó mucho la variedad de tonalidades en las arcillas. Felicitaciones! Ha ganado un nuevo espacio en su hogar!

Such a huge amount of effort but I'd say it was well worth it. The cobble walkway was such a lovely find.

Having recently gone to town on my own shambles of a garden, that was satisfying to watch someone else grafting. Cobbles look great, but mind you don't break your ankle on them!😊

What a fabulous transformation. ❤ Well worth the effort. 👍

It's "backyard archeology "! What a transformation and WHAT a find!!! Well done!

Your neighbours owe you a huge thank you. It looks amazing and so much bigger!

I found a cobblestone terrace in my garden once. It was covered by several beautiful shrubs by this point but I cleared it and would sit in the little area from time to time. It was like uncovering an itty bitty ancient civilization

That was one of the most satisfying and beautiful transformations I have ever seen. Fantastic work! Absolutely breathtaking result.

Beautiful walkway. Such a huge difference.

Great job bringing back those cobbles. Are you planning on leveling them?

Brilliant job. Would love to see more of your work .

Amazing transformation. Well done!

Even with it being over grown you can see the rustic potential ❤

It's insane that was covered with all that garbage and dirt. You did an amazing job and brought it back to life.

Wow! What an amazing job you did! It looks great!

Have to admire your tenacity! A good job, well done.

What a transformation There is no doubt that shared drives and paths can become very unsightly. Hope that it stays that way as your neighbours now have an asset not a mess. Bo (Weston super Mare)

Вот это преображение! Пожалуй, это самое неожиданное, что я когда-либо видела.

Great job! hopefully everybody will help keep it looking that way

Restoring old stuff is so satisfying. Well played !

It’s a lovely feeling when you get a job like this accomplished.

Looks awesome! You've done a fantastic job as always

It's an incredible work! I'm just a little bit concerned about the floods in the back yard, because the drainage open is higher than lower spots, in heavy rain it could became a pond! But definitely an improvement from the pallets pathway

What hard work - all those dreadful brambles! But the path looks lovely and, as you say, well worth the effort.

Looks like you may have some more cobbles under your yard’s concrete slab. Happy hunting

Man what a lot of work ,And what beautiful tiles he found , a real archaeologist😊👍

You did an amazing job ❤

Reminds me of "the secret garden" also, I'm amazed that drain didn't need to be cleared.

Such beautiful stone, amazing work 🙌🏻

Amazing amount of back-breaking work, isn't??? There is nothing more difficult than landscape, in my opinion. Having done both many times over the years of owning two homes - I think yard work is hardest. Right now I have to redo my front garden and I am NOT looking forward to it. Anyway, beautiful job!! PS-hope you tackle those brick walls as well to bring it all together. What a great place you have! Thanks for the video. 🥰🥰🥰

I am impressed with your results, New Yorkshire Workshop 🏆 the revealed cobbles sure do tell a story

It's amazing how long the stones have been hidden for and still In great condition. A beautiful chimney pot sitting there would be nice as a planter maybe for strawberries.

Beautiful job. love that rounded wall, too.

Great work mate! I’m not sure if you cleared all the growth from the wall but the increased light is definitely a plus. I hope your neighbours will now take responsibility for their area at the back …it could really be made a beautiful space. Well done in taking the initiative. I must say, I’m amazed that drain still works considering the soil that was on top…and what beautiful soil that was.🤓🍻👍🏻

That looks amazing! Well done! 👍

I Love your videos especially the making stuff and the house renovations but to be honest i would watch an hour long video of you just reading a book i don't know what it is about your videos i just find them so relaxing and enjoyable my only gripe would be is waiting so long for the next one 🙂

What a find!! Looks beautiful x

WOW!! What a difference! Looking at the area near the drain, is it possible that part of the drain has collapsed? Might be.a job to be done while working on the garden. Just in case you get a lot of rain. I am so glad that you cleared that passageway up. If, God forbid, you couldn't get out your front door, you could escape out the back. It looks great, and I have a feeling that you are going to make it beautiful!🖖🔭🐈‍⬛📚🫖✨️☔️🎩🥧🕊

I'm auprised how spacious this path is. That one bush took up to much space

That’s so beautiful, those old stones, it already looks like a romantic patio. Cheers from the Netherlands 😊

Papay Smurf can't be mixed up in this, but the neighbors could at least help a little. The result, as always, is perfect. I admire that you managed to fit everything in this container :)

Much awaited, much appreciated, great work as always.

So gratifying to watch ! Your a great neighbor, a joy to watch your videos.

amazing what hard physical work can do. well done !!!

4:30 a McLeod (rakehoe) tool would work great here. Used by forest fire fighters and MTB trail builders to clear forest floors. I love the aged look of the stonework. Great job!

That was a huge job. So much work. I am surprised that drain isn't completely clogged with dirt.

Great job and a fantastic result. I hope that your neighbours aren't as slow coming forward to thank you as they are in helping!🙄

What a huge job that was ! Bravo !

What lovely stones! And a drain too that was covered in soil! Great work

Looking forward to see you build a nice garden 😊

Wow! What a transformation. That is an absolute beauty. I could stay out there forever. Great accomplishment, that.

Wow !!! What a difference. Bloody well done. 👏

You did an Awesome job at cleaning up the back area. You Are Awesome !!!!

Deserve a medal for all that work! Great result. Les

That skip is ridiculous - I have seen larger bins! Great transformation though and satisfying work considering most of your projects take months to finish!

Brilliant job Russ. Well done.

This is just amazing. What a wonderful result from such a yucky start. That was a biiig job. You should be justly proud of yourself. Good job! I have subscribed and I will watch your videos from the beginning. You will have to maintain it as I am sure others won’t do much to keep it nice… but I am sure they appreciate it. I’d like to see more of what those vines looked like after pruning and growing a bit… I do hope you do get rid of those white cabinets or whatever they are. And that little.faux pool need to go. Do you have a fire place to burn that wood?? Personally I don’t like the black bags they are in, but I know that is an in between step.

What a beautiful old cobblestone path. I wonder if more of it isn't hidden beneath the concrete.

That's quite a difference. The results were well worth the effort.

What a wonderful transformation. I’d have been tempted to put the greenery in the skip and that soil in bags for future use in beds and pots in your garden.

WOW. worth all the hard work you put in to this, they will be pleased, for your time . Looking good young man.

What a fabulous result those cobbles look beautiful so satisfying
