I love your videos , you are much better than any outdoor and discovery programme on terrestrial tv Fantastic stuff ...I live here Well between Farnworth and Worsley Very lucky to have the places on the doorstep. P.s , I love tank rover -how brilliant !
I lived in that area for 40 years and apart from being aware of the Wet Earth didn't have an inkling of the workings. I found it fascinating . Thank you
I have to keep reminding myself that your videos are not professionally produced. You have some of the highest quality amateur videos I have seen anywhere. I love the subject matter. The production is a major bonus. Well done as always. Keep up the great work!
Isn't it crazy to think that 18th century engineering can survive through to today? Can you imagine anything we build now lasting so long? Jeez matey, you need a TV series for sure, because you're cataloging the things that are right underneath our feeet: stuff that is the foundation that the modern world is built upon but which is largely forgotten in this 'digital age'. A massive 'thank you' from me, and please keep up the fantastic work you do.
You're sitting there talking inanely about Mars and Marathon and it's like "There's Compo & Cleggy sitting on t' river bank wi' Foggy up to his knees in t' river" - Perfect Moment. You're good editor, Marty. EDIT: If a tracked Camera is good enough to send into the Giza Pyramid there's definitely no shame in using one as you did. Kudos.
Your tank looked like something out of Doctor Who, but it worked a treat. You've nailed it again. But now we're curious about that 'tunnel that shouldn't be there', that goes without saying. 😊
The notches were probably to hold the arch former which the bricks were laid on until the lime mortar set and was common practice and still is building brick arch work .
Excellent suggestion. A lot of staging would have had to have been done to build this, and water ingress would also have been a problem even before letting the river water in. That's what I'm wondering is the case for the 'unexpected tunnel'. It might have been a construction adit.
I live 5 minutes away from the old colliery and know the area like the back of my hand, but I didn't ever expect to see inside those tunnels, brilliant Martin, thanks for making the effort.👍
OMG! Martin, First off The intro music had me disco dancing in my wheelchair, which was delightful. Between the music and the cinematography and your narration I felt every emotion possible . Bang up job Martin. You make my Sundays! So nice to have Conner back. Boy O boy James Brindley had some wild imagination to think all this up ! Once again thrilled by your work. Love from Peru
well martin what can we say words are not enough but thank you all so very much for the effort you all put into it we are glad you were all safe and well cheers for now from down south trev and Christine
Hi Martin, all I can say is wow, you were probably the first people to see that for many many years. I thought you did an excellent job of not only the filming but the explanations of what job each part played to get the water from point A to point B. Absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for all of the hard work and research that you carried out to bring us this breathtaking journey of the route the water took and showing us the amazing engineering skills of James Brindley and his tunnels. xx💖
Another excellent industrial historical piece of history. Thanks for your efforts I can tell from you that sometimes the places you venture to are not entirely in your comfort zone. I was actually pleased to leave Wet Earth Colliery.
This is great thanks Martin, I have no idea how you fit in filming and editing these with a job. Let alone the his of research. Get some merch sorted with some bees on it, put me down for a hoody!
I was part of the Wet Earth Exploration Group set up by Alan Davies in the 1990s and we cleaned out the tailrace and service tunnels before Salford Council closed access. I cannot recall doing any exploration of the tunnel on the other side of the river so it was great to see your videos of these, many thanks. Regarding the mystery tunnel from the siphon I believe some members of the group did enter this mystery tunnel but found it was blocked so it was unclear of its purpose although Dave Lane in his book suggests that an early drawing indicates that this tunnel could have supplied water to an early pumping system - may be before the leat was created to take water to the wheel chamber.
You guys are the best! The best thing about everyone here is we genuinely love the history of Manchester and surrounding region, and it is just a bunch of people you could down some pints with!!
Martin, i have access to a engineering shop & would love to help with your Rover camera robots. For instants could have used the barrel up & down channel to allow the camera to look up or down.. loving this mini series, keep up the good work.
You are absolutely bonkers, Martin! I've done a fair bit of potholing/caving and I could always tell the people I was leading, the caves have been here for tens of thousands of years and they've always looked like this. All you could say was; this has been here since 1756 and it's looking a bit second hand! Amazing vlog though Mr Zero, fascinating stuff and much to wonder at. The Tank Rover was fun, but you didn't mention the most interesting thing it could see. The brickwork at the top of the upcast was almost perfect, even now. No wonder Brittania ruled the waves and almost took over the planet, with engineers like Brindley and craftsmen like that to build to his design. Why does Britain so undervalue its engineers and scientists? We pay far too much attention to rich people. Not because they are clever, but because they are rich. And we are paying for it. Rant off.
The scene of you guys eating Mars bars and having a cuppa was straight out of The Detectorists...well done, and nicely framed against the running river water.
Martin Zero not bad thanks .... your part 2 was excellent (as was part 1) and looking forward to part 3. When you starting guided tours? Reckon you could make a fortune 👍🏻
Good to see you back in your element Martin - a deep dark hole to crawl through! Fascinating video, I love Brindley's idea of a syphon to take water under a river! They have now done something similar to take boats under a road without raising the road in Glasgow, on the Forth & Clyde canal, using a couple of locks to drop the level of the canal.
I wonder if the whole thing was sealed, and the brick work was deliberately 'punctured' to stop the water flow through? Good video Martin! I enjoyed that immensely! Thank you for sharing! :-)
An excellent documentary on a brilliant engineer dating back over 200 years ago. Well done Martin and thank you for bringing it to the general public who probably like me were unaware of this amazing feat.
Overlooked at 20:52 is that the upcast sill is about 3m higher than the downcast, so the reason it's feed being in a tunnel is to create the head necessary to have the water rise up over the sill on the upcast side. It then runs to the pump for the colliery providing more power than if the water just ran in a channel.
That is just fascinating and incredible! Oh what I would give to tag along on one of these adventures. Awesome! Thanks again Mr.Zero, you single handedly make Sundays fun again!
I've been trawling through your library and in the process this series has popped up in the recommendations numerous times. What a treat this has turned out to be. The best tunnel explore of all time 👍
Absolutely incredible. I love *so* much that you are documenting this incredible history that other people just think is not important. Unbelievable that in the 1940s you just smash something up that was 200yrs old even then and not try to encase it/preserve it. But hey-ho ... we'll still doing it today smashing up graveyards/grave stones :o( ... Thank you so much for this x
Wow those tunnels Over 230 years old love the way you explain everything. Tank rover is genius I thought for one minute you were going to dangle him over the edge. Top stuff Martin can’t wait for part 3
Another incredible video Martin. I can't imagine the hardship the tunnellers faced with none of the modern gear you had at your disposal. Can't wait for the next instalment.
Martin I really love not only your videos they are excellent and your research really helps appreciate the engineering involved but especially I think the way you reinforce in others the necessity for respect of these works. That is absolutely incredible work for its time and especially the ingenuity involved. What is more Dean has done it yet again. He is really very clever. Thank you all.
As I become more aware of James Brindley's achievements, I am amazed at what training the man apparently had. I was expecting some study of engineering, maybe at one of the classic universities, but the reality is far, far different. Brindley must have been mentored by, and in discussion with some very learned people of his time, and, dare I say it, some sort of genius to boot. I'm loving your explorations. Thanks.
Tank Rover.....love it. 10/10 for ingenuity, but it got the job done safely as you said. Another brilliant episode, and some amazing engineering that we would most likely have never seen were it not for your efforts. Never ceases to amaze me how they managed to build such engineering feats a few hundred years ago.
One of the best moments ive seen in the videos ive watched was captured from the down-cast syphon entrance as the/your foot came into shot at the entrance to the tunnel. I thought of the first landing on the moon/one small step for man.... moment. Thankyou Martin.
Very enjoyable Martin! Glad you guys were being safe in there.Well, except for the part where you said "This tunnel is over 200 hundred years old." "Oh, 🤔look how flakey it is. pick pick pick" 😲...😆 Excellent little tank Rover👍 Dodgy spot for sure!
When you were talking about a remote camera at about 23:00 I was getting excited thinking "We're going to see COC Rover again"! That would have shown us more of the shaft so may have been better but Tank Rover was useful too.
An enjoyable and informative video ! I wandered arount Wet Earth in 2007 when I was working at Enersys in Swinton. The tunnels are in really good condition seeing they are 250 years old ! I liked the sound effects on Tank Rover. (Bring back Marathons !)
Hi Martin. Personally I think one of your best video sets yet. I've read about Brindley's syphon and the wet earth colliery as part of my fact gathering from when I did canal boat tours and guided walks at Worsley but never appreciated the extent of the workings until now. Fascinating stuff. Must admit though that the initiat shots of your journey up the washout tunnel reminded me of my colonoscopy both texture and colour lol. Looking forward to #3. Keep up the fab work....regards Dave
Some engineering feat those tunnels. With what as progressed from those day to today you have to applaud those engineers who where pioneers. And we still use brick lined sewers from the victorian days... Excellent once again......
Even better than the first episode! Beautiful view of the tunnels, give tank rover an extra battery of me as thanks for the brave entering of the siphon tunnel. Good to see you listened to some advise about personal safety in tunnels. Can't wait to see the third part!
Hi Martin that was brilliant felt we were in that tunnel with you glad we got a firestick we've got TH-cam on it so we can watch you on the telly now instead of computer really surprised how none of the TV channels has snapped you up by now but there loss is our gain can't wait for part 3 kind regards John and Angela
Fantastic Martin, Always wanted to see those tunnels, but didn't think it was possible, Amazing. Glad to see you brought a gas monitor with you. Many thanks Pete.
I could not have done that tunnel walk ever... Tankrover's smoke showed there is an air current in there which suggests the tunnel on the left comes out somewhere.Amazing story telling and well done for stressing how careful you are and you have my total respect for that. 100K subs can't be far away.
Martin that was a truly fantastic production. The content, the filming and the atmosphere you created made every second so enjoyable with tension, humour (Tank rover) education all done with the greatest respect to Mr Brindley. I can't thank you, Connor and Danny enough for allowing us to share your great adventure. Again many, many thanks I absolutely loved it.
Blown away Martin .... love it ...you are a legend. Look forward to the book one day, I’m born n bread Manchester and you’re videos are a fantastic insight ..Ace !
Haha Tank Rover with full smoke effects was like a tense rescue scene from Thunderbirds. Good stuff.
It was a bit Matt 😆
Brilliantly put.. lol
I can imagine the beads of sweat breaking out on the puppet's foreheads!
I just presumed it was a Russian tank lol!
I love your videos , you are much better than any outdoor and discovery programme on terrestrial tv

That's exactly why I thought! Great stuff.
It held a large sliding rectangular gate valve . It slid down in track from above . Very Nice Find ! You fellows deserve international recognition !
Thanks Montie 👍
Your tank looked like something out of Doctor Who, but it worked a treat. You've nailed it again. But now we're curious about that 'tunnel that shouldn't be there', that goes without saying. 😊
Thank you Hubert, all will be explained
I didn't mention the music! Outstanding! Such an 80's Manchester feel to it, yet it fits with the video! So cool!
Amazing .. ! The siphon chamber from the 1750's ... Speechless. I'd love to see this stuff. Thanks for sharing!
The notches were probably to hold the arch former which the bricks were laid on until the lime mortar set and was common practice and still is building brick arch work .
Excellent suggestion. A lot of staging would have had to have been done to build this, and water ingress would also have been a problem even before letting the river water in. That's what I'm wondering is the case for the 'unexpected tunnel'. It might have been a construction adit.
Iv seen a few old photos showing wooden arches and bricks laid on top nice one
Ahh ok, never thought of that Adrian
This was a masterpiece.
Thanks very much

Thanks Matthew
“punctuated wi peanuts” 😂😂😂
Awesome couple of videos Martin, great work 👍
A week full of anxiety just waiting for this video. Keep up the good work.
Hope you enjoyed Joe
I think we need merchandise.
T-shirts with a small "Martin Zero" logo on the chest,and a huge picture of Tank Rover on the back.👍
Good Idea Colin
Absolutely brilliant, I'm sure Brindley would be proud his tunnel is appreciated and admired with clever technology.

"Note for next time, I must remember to switch the smoke effects off on tank rover" LMAO! Great idea, smoke or no.
I do actually quite like the smoke
Blows my mind thinking over 200 years ago..fascinating!
ahhhh! the Heresy! The tank rover isnt a British tank! (good video still)
