Dude, the BBC needs to snap you up and get you on your own show. I'm proud to be from Manchester seeing my people doing great things. Hats off to you Martin, another excellent video in the books
Martin you should be very proud of what you do. You’re keeping history alive, I would love to see you have your own tv show. I’ve been watching your videos all afternoon, and well into the evening. Fantastic work. Good on you.
God, there is something so damn eerie about those tunnels and shafts. I felt it when I watched the one on the Standedge tunnels and I felt it in this one. Absolutely fascinating as well, all that brick work in the shaft and still in pretty good nick even after 200 years. It boggles the mind, and I never knew anything about it when I lived there. Thanks for making these fantastic films.
Old steam, awesome! This tunnel is historical, and most of the things you cover are of significance to the industrial revolution, is why you have me here, dude. Merry Christmas from California.
Looking down that 500 foot shaft was proper scary this was an absolutely top video. To put the depth of the shaft into context means that it's deeper than the forward intact section of the Titanic (475 feet) Now a subscriber.
You Dazzle and Amaze me with your curiosity and ingenuity You need to know that you have a fan club in Pisac Peru! there are 5 of us who cant get enough of your videos. Unfortunately im the only one with a computer so we can only do one subscription
Great work Martin I've been window cleaning in Manchester for 35 years now and know all the places you go to so nice to see the other side of the wall keep the good work up love it
Mate. I’ve been glued to your vids all morning. Absolutely fantastic. A good one for you would be The Danny on the river weaver. There all nice chaps and let you a good vid.
Love learning the history of these tunnels, and I knew how they appeared from the base making this top view a treat. So cannot wait to see something like this when I finally get to UK.
Martin your videos should carry an X rating for sheer terror that's just the things you do the music makes it even more so. Brilliant video from a very obviously proud Mancunian. Just wow thanks
A fascinating place and a dangerous place too.....thanks for doing such an atmospheric video.....caught my kids attention away from their own social media.....thanks.....
Those regular square holes are where the shaft builders' platforms would be placed - usually a steel ring would be used to keep the diameter constant. They'd dig within it for a metre or so, and then brick the walls, leaving the bricks supported on the ring, and then move down, bit by bit. Those holes will be every six feet or so. Great video. I take it that this is what the ruin with the sinister 'well' in it would have originally looked like.
In the panoramic shot at 05:15, it looks like there are two more big structures on the hillside in the distance, directly in line with this one - or is that my imagination, or are they the tunnel vents you visited earlier?
Another excellent vid Martin. I've always loved exploring things since I was a kid down in Kent. I live between Dukinfield and Stalybridge now but fully intend to take my 15 yr old son to some of these places. Top notch. 👍😄
martin that was fantastic and scary all that way down with the ROVER and it worked great well done to you thank you again for all the hard work you put into the filming for us and the history cheers from trev
Great video, I remeber in the late 60s or early 70s my dad taking me up there, parking at the Great Western pub and we walked over to the engine house. I only remember the shaft on the right, it wasn't capped, but had a low red brick wall in front of it, very scary to look down.
I kept trying to imagine life for the diggers and brick/stone masons building that shaft nd all the otheers scattered about from that period. Dark, cold, windy and mishaps had to be frequent. Lighting options had to be a constant hazard. You do a bang up job exploring the technical and technological aspects of these projects and the Industrial Revolution in general but I have only my imagination so far for the rest. The means I have yet another justification for doing research on things most of my friends find incomprehensibly boring ; )
😄Hello, on the way back across the moor in the dark and cold we had a conversation about those horrible conditions that were probably endured everyday up there. Nice days on that moor are few and far between 👍🏼Thanks for watching
Yes that poly rope is deceptively heavy in bulk, as you found out, and it doesn't wear well if it gets damage - good move to bring the rig back up when you did. Maybe the big fella will drop a small winch down the chimney tonight for you, ahead of the next trip - pot of vaseline to grease the edge where the line goes over might be handy too, if you weren't already doing that. Look forward to the next adventure - never a dull moment in your clips!
@@MartinZero oh it is good but you might ask any friends you have that own narrowboats how well it wears over time compared to more traditional fibres - it's good to look after your C O C ;-)
Sir Martin Zero ( you should be Knighted ) . That was great , I love it . It worked ! Next step is to strap a Live Chicken on the Coc Rover for a Trip down and up . I enjoyed the lighting of the Engine house at the Start of the Video . Stay safe and Healthy .
Just subsribed just brilliant mate love my history stuff and you are well up there did not expect that from an already amazing location going to binge on your work 👏
Great Video Martin, cracking camera action down the shaft, good bit of apparatus , great camera action from Coc-Rover , well thought through , very impressive view of places that we wouldn't normally been able to see, thank you Martin 👍🙂
You do the atmospheric bit rather well, Martin! Amazing the work that was put into the tunnels- hard to fathom, at this remove. Merry Christmas, to you and yours!
That was absolutely fascinating mate. But I have to complain; I'm watching this in bed and my missus is akip. "Coc-rover". I bloody well laughed out loud and got an earful for waking her up! Then she regains her equilibrium, dozes off and what happens? "Coc-cam". Once again I laugh and I'm immediately in the dog-house! But still, that was a great video. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from me and mine to you and yours and all of the subscribers too.
Another great video the footage with the Go pro it's unreal you get a real sense of the size of that shaft. I felt like a was going to fall down it just watching on my TV can't imagine looking over the edge like you did but well worth it. Thanks for sharing keep up the good work and adventures
Once again Marin, an excellent video. Absolutely terrifying to see those open shafts like that. Incredible to think that these were pretty much dug by hand. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you!
Another great video Martin. Looking down those shafts are like peering into the abyss. Those shafts are near enough as deep as Blackpool tower is high. I think Blackpool tower is about 518ft. That’s pretty impressive and like you say terrifying at the same time. Look forward to your next video. Hope you have a great Xmas and new year. 👍
Really fascinating video Martin. Thanks very much indeed for sharing. The 'Rover' certainly did the trick. Wonderful stuff. Have a great Christmas and look forward to your next adventure. All the best.
Martin i have an under water video camera with monitor and battery in a carry case it's black and white the camera is on 20 meters 60 feet of cable and has built in lights , bought from craplins a few years ago , you can have it for free if you want it ether collect or you pay postage from barnsley , it might come in handy for some of your explores , nice little kit but i just dont use it and i would rather someone get use out of it than it just take up space that i could use for other clutter
Another thing you can do Martin to stop the strain on your back (and from having to lean over the shaft) is to place an aluminium tube (or a scaffolding pole) across the the handrails above the shaft, rap the cord around it a couple of times and use it as a sort of pully when lowering COC-Rover down. You'll then be able to stand well away from the edge of the shaft which will allow yo to keep your back straight, it will ensure a smooth journey down and stop the cord from rubbing - and possibly breaking - on the sharp corner of the brickwork at the top of the shaft as it goes over the edge. You might want to try slightly bigger and wider wheels - rubber ones of the sort you get on the front of some wheelchairs. As they're bigger and wider, there'll be less chance of them snagging on any sharp corners of rock towards the bottom of the shaft.
Another brilliant video Martin, I really want to get back on a narrowboat and take a trip through Standedge, these videos just keep reminding me! Keep up the good, no, great work!
Hi Martin, great video. In the mid 1990's the engine house was having remedial work carried out on it and was surrounded in scaffolding, I climbed up the scaffolding and down into the engine house, like you I peered down those shafts, very scary ! I dropped a few rocks down but small rocks didn't make any noise so I dropped a large rock down and it took about 20-30 seconds before you could hear the rock hit the bottom, very deep shafts.
I absolutely love the video you went above and beyond my friend so you can give us review of those shafts awesome awesome work and that little girl was thinking about smart idea keep up the good videos my friend I'll always watch him
once again martin you’ve created a belting video,watching this from manila airport in the philippines,have a fantastic xmas and all the best for the new year
Thankyou Martin for another fantastic video, I enjoyed this one, all the best for the new year and look forward to watching anything you might be getting up to in the new year. From Julie in Burnley.
A great new vid from Martin accompanied by a great cover of my username and a Smiths reference too. I think Christmas has now arrived. Keep up the great work Martin 👍Nik
@@MartinZero Thanks for the reply Martin! I do love all the band references you do in the videos; have always assumed your name was an homage to a certain Mr Hannett too..? Back to the videos though, they really are brilliant and so addictive to watch, I think someone commented recently that they effectively serve as social documents, couldn't have put it better. And now I can't stop saying COC Rover either 😀 Nik
Fantastic video Martin. Loving your ingenuity at creating and braveness in using COC-Rover! Great footage from the plucky little device! 😀Looking down the shaft brings the feelings of vertigo as clearly as if I was there myself - terrifying as you say! I was worried about the rope scraping over the edge of the brickwork though - you could use a short section of 2mm plastic pipe to reduce friction and risk of snagging, but would need someone to hold it or a way to secure it in place. Keep up the fantastic work!!
Great job showing the history of the industrial age Makes you appreciate the hard slog the people from the past put in ,the physical labour was tremendous and dangerous brickin up a shaft 500 ft deep the logistics to acheive it, physically unbelievable
Dude, the BBC needs to snap you up and get you on your own show. I'm proud to be from Manchester seeing my people doing great things. Hats off to you Martin, another excellent video in the books
Hi Lee thanks very much. Merry Christmas !!
I totally agree martins videos are professional level very very watchable
I would avoid the BBC like the plague. Encourage a third-party film company to take an interest in this fascinating stuff.
YOu keep the bb blinking c well away from this chief.
Every thing they touch they spoil.
Agreed
Martin you should be very proud of what you do. You’re keeping history alive, I would love to see you have your own tv show. I’ve been watching your videos all afternoon, and well into the evening. Fantastic work. Good on you.
And imagine the slow pain staking task of not only digging but bricking EVERYTHING!😨
God, there is something so damn eerie about those tunnels and shafts. I felt it when I watched the one on the Standedge tunnels and I felt it in this one. Absolutely fascinating as well, all that brick work in the shaft and still in pretty good nick even after 200 years. It boggles the mind, and I never knew anything about it when I lived there.

Hello thank you very much, good to have you hear. Best wishes to California 👍🏼

That was quite something. Brickwork fantastic but it is a dangerous place to be.. thanks for taking me along

Love that " Oldham a town next Manchester" ( definitely league of gentleman link) haha
Oooooh Chameleons Swamp Thing and industrial archaeology - heaven!

I always wanted to know how they bricked the shafts. The brick and stone work in this video is absolutely amazing.
@@brianartillery Yes they are 👍

Great watched all your films learn something new all the time, and have lived in Manchester most of my life. Have a great Chrismas

Another excellent vid Martin. I've always loved exploring things since I was a kid down in Kent. I live between Dukinfield and Stalybridge now but fully intend to take my 15 yr old son to some of these places. Top notch. 👍😄
Wow never seen a hole so deep. This is easily one of the best channels on youtube, definetly the best on this subject. All the best from lancashire.

COC Rover - love it, one of my fave M Zero videos this one!
Thanks Ian
Martin, absolutely awesome mate! Thanks for the video, love what you do and your enthusiasm. Belting music as always 👌🏻
Thanks Paul. Yeah one of my favourite tracks
i have to say you do one hell of a great channel, putting a lot of effort in and i always enjoy the videos
Thanks very much Anastasia
The shaft looks well maintained and tuck pointed.
Is that the tip from the digging between the engine house and shaft 3?
That was excellent, thank you Martin, really appreciate your videos!
Thanks Mike much appreciated
Great video, I remeber in the late 60s or early 70s my dad taking me up there, parking at the Great Western pub and we walked over to the engine house.
I only remember the shaft on the right, it wasn't capped, but had a low red brick wall in front of it, very scary to look down.
I think I went in the Great Western once 👍
I work next to a 300 foot chimney and it is massive , hard to imagine digging over 500 foot down without Modern equipment , smashing film again Martin
Thanks Robin, whats the chimney ?
Creepy creepy ! 😱 Keep up the excellent work my friend ✌🏼
Cheers Ian
Thanks Martin really interesting as ever and can’t wait for the next one, merry Christmas to you and yours🎁
Hi Martin thank you and Merry Christmas
You take urbex to new heights and depths. Spot on Martin.
Ahhh, that's what's inside that building they slapped a gate on when they saw this great video you made.😅😉
Yes indeed, those shafts are amazing
And another Season's Retail Rhapsody from me too in N Z. Have a good one Martin.
Hi Martin thanks very much and Happy Christmas
The trip down the shaft on the COC Rover was great !
love the intro music..chameleons "swamp thing" MIDDLETONS FINEST..RIP John
Yep. I do love that song myself. Great Band !!!
@@MartinZero happy days djing at the Ritz on a Monday Night(1983-2015) keep up the great work.
Loving the music in the video. Amazing video and documentary :)
Great video. Makes you think of the poor buggers who would have been lowered down there in a bucket to dig the thing!
Brilliant vid Martin, thank you for taking the time to do your vids, they are fascinating.
Thank you Tracey much appreciated 👍🏼

Thank you and a happy Christmas to Edmonton Canada. thank you for watching so far away 👍🏼
21:36 the deeper it gets, the heavier it gets, because more rope is dropped along with the COC equipment... thx for the awesome vid!

Hi yes it was a good few degrees colder than on my street. I was gonna film that tour of the Rover up there but too cold.
Really fascinating video Martin. Thanks very much indeed for sharing. The 'Rover' certainly did the trick. Wonderful stuff. Have a great Christmas and look forward to your next adventure.
All the best.
Thank you Mike and Happy Christmas
Great video Martin. Next time send the Dalek down the shaft.
Imagine the horror standing there and feeling the metal start to give way :(
That would be awful
Martin i have an under water video camera with monitor and battery in a carry case it's black and white the camera is on 20 meters 60 feet of cable and has built in lights , bought from craplins a few years ago , you can have it for free if you want it ether collect or you pay postage from barnsley , it might come in handy for some of your explores , nice little kit but i just dont use it and i would rather someone get use out of it than it just take up space that i could use for other clutter
I think he's going to need that
That's a lovely thing to do
Hello, thanks very much. Thats very good of you. You say your in Barnsley ?
Martin Zero yes mate s703hl
Another thing you can do Martin to stop the strain on your back (and from having to lean over the shaft) is to place an aluminium tube (or a scaffolding pole) across the the handrails above the shaft, rap the cord around it a couple of times and use it as a sort of pully when lowering COC-Rover down.
