- This video is about Baitings reservoir West Yorkshire. The low waters of the dry summer and drought of 2022 famously revealed an old pack horse Bridge from the sunken depths. As well as the bridge being revealed an old former dam was revealed. We go back in a re visit to see the reservoir waters now rising and all the features disappearing under water again. We discover an old photograph of the former Baitings intake Dam from the 1920's and see the pack horse bridge looking eerie as it is engulfed by water. The hidden old remains are being covered.

I recognise this melody, from the begining of a bad ass, evil techno track from about 1990/91,
Which itself emulates an 80s pop tune that i just can not rmmbr.

I think everyone should have a James in their life. Someone who smiles almost all the time, who appreciates everything in life, who brings along tea and random snacks that were on clearance.
Still laughing about when Martin asked whether James' glacee cherry on the day's clearance cakes was one of his five-a-day. They're a great combination
Are Martin and James a couple? I can’t help wondering.
No
@@zerofox7347 The Odd Couple, maybe...
One thing which never ceases to amaze me is how quickly nature reclaims its own. The grass that grew on those banks has been waiting patiently for the right conditions to emerge once more. Going back to bed now, but merely sleeping until the water recedes again.
People worry about the world, and human impact upon it, but nature has no fear, and long after humankind has gone, nature will still be here, and will still be reclaiming that which human beings have taken for their own ends.
Yeah that grass growing made it look like a valley side again
Exactly, as a couple of months ago, everyone was worried about a drought, now you keep hearing travel warnings about roads being flooded!
@@NOWThatsRichy Keeping the people in fear is what they do best.
@@telx2010 no one is more in fear than you bootlicks.
Watching martin always make you feel like home .. it’s beautiful.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Ashkan 😄👍
It was an exceptionally dry summer, but the reservoirs did what they were designed for and secured our water supply. At least here in Merseyside we didn't have a hosepipe ban, so we weren't in any direct danger of running out of water.
As Trekking Exploration showed in his latest video on Ladybower Reservoir, the levels are rising quickly now, in just a few days time, it was back up to where it was in September. It will still take a while for it to be back to normal though.
Yeah Ant did some good videos on Ladybower
Next time its drained Martin someone will discover your footprints
Yeah or Roys right down under the bridge
Ye olde footprints
Hes got hooves! 😂😂
always cheers me up to see James back in another video
James the Scotch egg kid 😄
@@MartinZero hope he had a bottle of sauce to slaver on his scotch egg snack
That’s amazing, so glad the reservoir filling up again. Thank you for the update and the cup of tea as well.
Thanks Shirley
Wow even the little Dam was quite big, thanks for rinding the old photos of the dam being built .
Thank you Alan
Fascinating work...people like you should all be knighted for your amazing work.
Thank you. Apparently you can buy them these days 😆
a short but sweet one, fascinating seeing that older dam construction photo!
Fascinating update on Baitlings reservoir Martin. Keep up the good work
Thank you Martin. Work turns the wolf at the door in to a puppy😊
Thats true David
Thank you for the update.
Thanks Brian
It’s amazing how big “that little dam” actually was. (4:54)
Lovely to see you Martin and your James. Well done. Good update. Cheers
thanks martin please keep up the good work its brill watching your films on a sunday night i really look forward to them . thank you.
Just hope these videos never ever end,
No matter what the content.
Thankyou.
🙌🏻
I record a lot of old bridges and irrigation dams in the western US as part of my job. Have to say I enjoyed this video and the photo of the old masonry dam.. Amazing, thanks for sharing.
Great Video, You need to get back there when the bridge is cover by a few inches of water. I would love to see the miracle of you walking on water!
Nice update Martin yes I did watch the original video on this and very interesting
Thank you David, much appreciated
Great update on the reservoir bridge it's surprising how quickly it's filling back up. The old reservoir was really small compared to the new one, the black and white photo was a brilliant comparison of the two.
Been interesting to see what’s been there all along out of view, but proper that it’s filling up again. Good one again boys, till next time.
wow, so that little mechanism at the top was to open and close the sluice right down at the bottom? Impressive engineering. Sad to see the bridge being lost once again, but I'm glad you were able to document it and share it with us.
Yeah, great to see it all fall in to place with that photo. Thanks
Thanks for the update I love the old pic of the dam too
It will always be fascinating, no matter where in it cycle you see it ...watching it emerge or watching is slip back under the water. Its has been a pleasure to see. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
Great update thanks. We had a wet Summer last year and have been forecast a very wet Summer again. You got our Summer I think.. thanks for share. Please stay safe and take care
Thanks Linda
Thanks gentlemen, for the update , won’t belong before its full again . regards liz x
The old Dam pic was a surprise to see how deep it goes great update vid
Fantastic series - thank you!
Great to see the photo of the old dam.
Getting near full circle, great update Martin 👌
Hahaha, your brewman James. Thanks for the video Martin. Cheers.
OOOoohhh James, a scotch egg. I've got 3 in my fridge to polish off this week when I get the munchies, lovely with a drop of mayo or mustard. Thanks Martin for the update, the reality is that if things go to plan we might not see that bridge again in our lifetime.
Yes true , we had a sense of that. Maybe its not going to show again for years. James and I had a conversation about no matter where you but a scotch egg they are always the same.
Great update Martin, never apologise for not having a new video again.
That old picture of the little dam shows how deep the water still was at that point in your earlier picture.
Thanks for going back. Nice job.
Wow !, as you say Martin , it doesn't take long to bring the water level back up to norm, fascinating stuff, until the next one, cheers guys x
Thank you Barbara
Short but sweet. Nice one, Martin. 👍👍👍
Cheers Brian
With all the rain now, that’ll be all disappeared soon, great to see back in sept when it was very low to show the old dam and the old bridge with a tiny trickle of water under it.
Look forward to the next adventure 👍🍻
Nice video guys, won't take to long to fill up again. Don't stand still too long. Take care guys.
Thanks Martin and James for this update which is very interesting and thanks for the great comparisons showing the old maps and photos so that we can see how things have changed historically. Take care and all the best. Stevie P.S. I really like Scotch Eggs, I've not had one for over thirty years, lol.
So interesting Martin and James.
Thank you both for your time and efforts to produce your volgs to show us all these interesting features of our landscapes.
Keep safe warm dry and virus free both.
Take great care when exploring.
Thanks you Martin for a updated
Cheers Steffen
Thanks for the update, glad to see things are returning to normal but sorry to no longer to be able to see all the interesting stuff that had been revealed.
Great Update. Hope you enjoyed the brews!
Fascinating update Martin 👍🏼😊
Cheers
Martin, you make great videos! I love these about this location and have shared them with friends who share my curiosity.
Wonderful video mate, very interesting, thanks for sharing, take care.
Thank you Adrian
Good video Martin thanks for the update on batings reservoir 👍
Cheers Tom
@@MartinZero your welcome 👍
Martin, you and other local historians did such great work showing the remains of long forgotten towns. I bet that many of the past residents from high up are smiling down for helping to keep their memories alive..... Till next time.
Thanks for the updated mate.
Just incredible the layers and layers of engineering found all across Britain 🇬🇧
Much love from The States 🇺🇸
Thank you so much for the update. It's good to see we are getting water in the reservoir. Thank you.
Thanks Robert, been raining again today
The way you overlayed the old map onto the google earth view was good.
Nice one Martin keep the great channel coming . I'm always watching and Waithing for that 100k celebration live you have might in store to celebrate and a couple invites when it arrives ? :)
Cheers Carl, see you down pub 😀
Absolute fantastic research
That's great- I never imagined the water fill up so quick. And now when I look the old bridge its hard to imagine what a big bridge it is. A great video-worth showing and very interesting with the old map and photo.
Thank you Carys
'Oh Dam' am I going to miss seeing that old Dam & bridge??? 😀😉🚂🚂🚂
Another great video they have become must watched by myself
Thanks Andrew 👍
Thanks Martin catch you on the next one
Thanks Martin. It's amazing how quickly the water level rises.
Yeah I was surprised ruth, needs a lot more yet
Thanks for capturing the bridge and river at its lowest. Love your videos, Martin!
Thanks very much 👍
Fascinating and great work documenting the development and cycle of the damn!
Great update Martin Thanks. Surprising how deep the Intake Dam wall is.
Amazing, love the old history and wouldn't have guessed that the old dam was so big, another great vid 👏👏
Thank you Martin (and James). You've really put everything into marvelous perspective with the old vs current images.
Excellent Martin 👍🏼
Thanks Dan
Alway a joy to see the sights. Thank you
Cheers Christopher
Great wee video 👍.
Always fascinated by your Videos. Great stuff Martin.
Thank you Glenn
Great stuff Martin, has been fascinating to see the different depths of water on the damn, and great that some forgotten structures have been found and their stories uncovered.
Thanks for the update 🤙🏽. Love that old photo 🤩🤩🧱👍🏼
I really enjoyed the old maps comparison mixed with real b4 and after footage. Way to bring it all into perspective. Incredible stuff, big fan!
Brilliant nice one 👍🏻
There's just something fascinating about buried and submerged lost history. I was doing some work in my back yard last week - one of our trees came down - and as I was digging, I found the remains of an old well. After some research, I found it was part of the original property when the house was built in the 1850s! Makes sense, because across the road - there's a housing development there, now - used to be a swamp and a stream. Now, the question is - if that's where everyone got their fresh water, where did they have their outhouses? There's always treasures in those pits! I want to find that!
Fascinating stuff! Quite relieved to see the levels returning back to normal...its been crazy dry this summer ☀️ 😮💨 😅 😩
Looks like a world class swimming spot now.
love the videos you guys make, amazing 😍😍
Great update, solved the riddle, great detective work Martin. Love that B&W. Hope the journey home wasn't too long especially after James had that Scotch egg🤢!!!
He was in the trailer
Thanks for the updates so interesting about the old intake dam.
Cheers Pete, hope you and Mrs Stellings are well. My regards
@@MartinZero both well thanks Martin
Cheers Martin much appreciated
Thank you Andy
Yet another great video. Always looking forward to your uploads. Greetings from Austria.
Thank you, much appreciated
Good to see it filling up so fast. This reservoir as well as draining the nearby moorlands can also access water from a pumping station at Cragg Vale via the tunnel under Manshead Hill which was dug in the 1960s.
Greetings from Madeira Park BC .
Very cool finale to the dam series Martin!
We had a long dry spell here on the wet coast as well ( the deer got pretty hungry and ate a fair bit of my garden due to the lack of good forage for them!) .... the wet coast is living up to its name now.
Thank you 👍
Well done boys!
Thank you! Must admit I've developed a strange affection for that bridge. Like a link to a different time. It's a nice looking structure too. Ah well, until next time...
Yeah same here. i think its because we have to say goodbye to it.
Nice little clip, well done. Appreciated the old pictures from the previous dam. Greetings from Germany ;-)
Greetings Thomas,
Great update. Given the recent rain I am surprised the water level isn’t higher.
Isn't it amazing though how quickly the grass was coming back on the lower banks, thanks Martin a bit of a splash and dash but still very interesting.👍
fascinating the height of that old dam shown in the photo, then, even with the waters down low only the top of that old dam could be seen...
yeah cool,, thanks team
I have been wandering about the state of our reservoirs after the summer drought
but you are the first, that I have found, to give us actual feed-back. Some ``experts''
have said that our normal winter rainfall won't be enough to top them up. But this
appears to be good news as we are only at the beginning of winter. So, many thanks
for the good news.
Thank you, I still feel though it needs a heck of a lot more
Worth remembering this is only one of thousands of them around the country.
@@TalesOfWar also worth remembering that these reservoirs are likely more like a cone than a cylinder. So when they first start filling a relatively small amount of water can cause a relatively large increase in depth.
Great update video guys... sunday just got better xx
Thank you Paula
Many thanks Martin, like yourself I was surprised how quickly the dam is now filling up, hiding its historical treasures until the next drought. I live not far from Chew Valley Lake (Somerset) and again, when we have very low water, that also reveals a small bridge, normally hidden by the waters.
Good one Martin...I missed out on taking pics of 'Baitings Pier"...😉
Lovely place up there we walk round it with kids 😀
Eh up ta'prentice is back organising the brews. Nice one lads on the updates. Cheers DougT
Cheers Doug. I re employed him
@@MartinZero good man Mz, I think he's setting in well, knows his P&Q's now that the tea spoon is chained to his back pack 👍😎 Cheers DougT
thanks for the update, am amazed how fast that water is rizing too.
Thank you Jim
It's a handsome bridge that one - good to see it occasionally (even if the reasons for it appearing not so good maybe).
Another great vid Martin, nice to see it filling up, was going to go this weekend, but never got the chance.
Thanks Alan, be nice to see the water when it laps the old rd
Oh wow, thanks for going back and giving us an update. It's really cheered me up as I'm laid low in hospital with a touch of COVID.🤒🤒
Let's hope we don't starting getting to see these things every year, if you know what I mean😆😆
Get well soon.
Thanks David, speedy recovery 👍
Thanks Alan and Martin. Much appreciated 🤧🤧😀😀
