- Scar house Dam and reservoir in the Yorkshire Dales was built between 1921 and 1936 to supply the City of Bradford with fresh water as it thrived during the Industrial revolution in the 19th century. The Reservoir is supplied with water by the River Nidd. This is a beautiful part of rural Britain called Nidderdale. During the summer of 2022 water levels at the reservoir have fallen. Revealing the remains of a farmhouse that is normally sunken beneath the levels of water. There is also the sunken remains of a road thet goes to nowhere. But the star of the show id the Scar house Dam. Built from local Yorkshire stone it is very beautiful and an Edwardian engineering masterpiece. We also see old pics of the Nidderdale light railway. Bradford water corporation built the Dam and reservoir and its a a great piece of architecture. This is a history of England and Britain.

So any links to the actual tunes, please. @Martin Zero . Also, I've never seen a water retention construction that's so dam beautiful! Good vid! 👍
Foster Beck Mill 1864, wheel installed 1904 for spinning twine or linen yarns and was later producing twine. Closed 1966 and turned into a large pub - Watermill Inn, popular for dances, that closed around 2005 to be converted into houses and an adjacent cottage next to the road bridge was turned into a pub (Bridge Inn). You managed a good shot, it always seems to be in the shade when I pass.
😎😎
Was that john foster who had the mohair mill in Queensbury?
Thank you - @Martin Zero maybe pin this post please?
It must be 50 years since I visited the Watermill at Foster Beck
@@robinwbarrett ok was it the same fosters who owns the mill in queensbury I was born there
I cannot wrap my head around the sheer elegance and exquisite beauty of that place. Absolutely stunning. So well documented Martin. Kudos for work so well done.
One of the best looking Dams I’ve seen. Absolutely beautiful
Why could older structures be built with such beauty and strength to boot. Today's structures will not be here in a hundred years.
That spillway is amazing. It's so geometric and it shows people who have no knowledge of civil engineering how the overflow of water was managed to avoid it getting out of hand
The dam and its infrastructure win it for me; as a computer systems engineer, semi-retired, I work on small scales. The enormous scale of this engineering fascinates me; someone had to design all this and then build it!
Wow another reservoir with hidden gems exposed, some lovely architecture there, thanks for sharing. Thoroughly enjoyed.
My grandad was the last petson born at the village of Scar House before it was abandoned and demolished following the competition of the dam. Lovely place.
Another splendid explore with the additional bonus of the steam train and the water wheel!
That spillway is absolutely stunning, would love to see its during use.
This is real engineering - they could have designed an ugly piece of stone heap but they added a lots of nice artistic elements. Rare nowadays.
My dad who is now one month off 98 years old remembers walking across Dead Man’s Hill from Coverdale and over the dam when it was under construction.
Fascinating. I'm a Yank and really admire the Brits talent in masonry. Stunning. You're right; beauty should accompany function.
Only in Britain would a dam be made to look like a castle. Beautiful! I love it!
In my country we would have just put up a huge slab of concrete and called it done.
Thats what we do now 😀
What beautiful and durable construction. Amazing and impressive dam.
Thanks Martin. - Isn't it wonderful how far we have progressed over the last century - from beautiful masonry to ugly grey poured concrete?
Now that autumn has started, the water level will rise again.
Beautiful steam train, nostalgia just like the dam.
Provides a good overview overlaying the cards.
Great video lads. Back in the days. The people new how to build great builds and other great things. Build to last too.
Martin welcome to our patch.
Lovely up there. Great work thanks 🙏
I’m speechless. Martin! Breathtaking.
I am loving this series and the accompanying music.
Thanks 👍
As always...thanks for the trip :)
So I looked at the map and thought... " I can't be aarsed"... Loved this vid, loved the steam loco too,.. Gratitude to you and to those who came before us for all that is here for us to witness.
I often Cant be arsed , then Iam glad I was arsed 😀
@@MartinZero imagine all those times when you've not been arsed... " Oh What a glad fellow you might be if only you'd been. Arsed...... ". { book of David, chapter 7, paragraph 0..}
My wife’s Grandparents farmed there Scar House Farm I think it was called,from when the reservoir was just being completed to the late 1940s .I remember them talking about the village where all the workers lived ,there were shops and a cinema but it was very isolated after everybody left her grandfather lost quite a lot of sheep in the 1947 snow and her grandmother still stored tinned food under her bed years after they leftafter the experience of being snowed in for weeks
What a beautiful Dam.
Just found these videos, while looking for old videos of little lever locks and canal. Love them . I have a lot of catching up to do.
👍
There was also a public subscription effort which my Grandfather, Charlie Mitchell, was involved-in. I well recall a trip to see 'Grandad's reservoir' back in the sixties when he was still alive.
Scar House Dam absolutely the best one
Fantastic 20th Century gothis. What an amazing dam. Thank you for traveling to see it and then sharing it with us
Cheers matthew
Could you imagine the boring eyesore they'd build these days. Nice one Martin.
So much pride and effort went into the construction - puts today's buildings to shame.
What an incredible spillway! It would be beautiful on a wetter year.
Wow what a dam. Absolutely stunning vlog 😍
Love the fact you gents get out and wonder around like I use to at a younger day... I'm eighty two now, and mobility issues, but I sure enjoy wondering with you both Martin and James, and you do it like I did with a brew or two and pastry... Love it.... Cheers and I'll be watching everyone of your adventures everywhere, with glee.
Beatrice is very beautiful and so is the dam. Awesome video Martin and the crew!
Cheers David
Fascinating stone and masonry workings.
Great 👍 look's like you all had a good day for it. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure 🙂👍💯🙏
I think the waterboard if that’s was what they were then had a blank check book cause look around any old reservoir and the architecture is second to none
Great video Martin. I was up there in March when the water was cascading down the face of the dam. Very impressive. Took a few photos & videos. Our annual (May 7th '23) Nidderdale Walk takes walkers/runners from Pateley up and round the reservoir - 26 miles!
There was a medieval village that was inhabited till they built the dam , and appears more when the levels are even lower apparently
It's strange, you'd think they would of cleared all those buildings from the area before filling it of water?
Interesting.
@@Andrea-73 they knock them down to the degree you see them now. Don't bother with leveling them completely.
Theme at the beginning was so like The Theme from Unique 3. Im sure Martin back in the day was a clubber! Hacienda,New Order,Factory, Unique 3. His age, It all makes sense.
It's so pretty! I wish things like built in America now looked this nice.
I noticed the BMW first then the water wheel! 😀
I live in Nidderdale and know Scar well, correct the stone was quarried in the hill side above the dam but if you look high up on the hillside on both sides there’s two huge concrete blocks where the blocks of stone were brought down on pulley’s. The main construction is concrete and faced by stone and in winter the whole wall moves one inch with the pressure. The wall has a series of tunnels that run across for one side to the other and are inspected for movement , it’s a wet job because they drip and leak. The tower in the middle is a away down in to the middle of the dam and if you every get chance to go down it’s hard to imagine all that water and pressure is just a few feet away. Foster beck is a old mill that became a local pub and played music every weekend, I’ve only seen the wheel run once but it shook so much that it nearly pulled the wall down, they turned it quickly off.
Ahh interesting, thank you. Yeah that is a massive wheel !!!
Such a beautiful dam. Cheers for sharing lads.
Amazing the location and the knowledge acquired x.
Great video of an incredible place and so easy on the eye for a functional piece of infrastructure.
Used to go on walks up there as a child, during school holidays.
Lovely lovely. Even more plces on my list to visit, next time in UK. Thanks
Yeah nice up there
Foster Beck Waterwheel, near Pateley Bridge. It was an old mill, which was converted to a Pub and Nightclub and is now residential properties. The wheel is apparently listed...all according to Google. Great vid as ever Martin. Thanks.
Thank you for the info on the waterwheel. It's a beauty.😃👍
Shame it no longer works. I wonder how much electricity it could generate in these difficult times.
Lol not heard of that place in Ages, I actually used to live there. In the living room we had like a glass box within the wall where you could see the mechanics for the wheel itself.
Mind you the snow there was different..... when it snowed it properly snowed it was over your car bonnet. "Would ring work saying I couldn't come in" send a photo of the snow....... head to the pub 1 minute away, jobs a good'n 😁
Was absolutely picturesque that area, really miss it.
The water wheel you show is Foster Beck Mill that was a Hemp Mill
You have to go back when the reservoir is full and the dam is in full flood! Great video
Great video Martin. Thanks for taking us along!
Brilliant as ever. Some stunning shots and informative dialogue. Well done.
Thank you team . If James forgets the brew and treats the Zero expedition might be lost on the Yorkshire moors. A real modern hound of the Baskervilles for Haloween😂😂😂❤.
Once again, very very informative. A pleasure to watch. Well done. Beautiful damn.
Loved the music! Very apt for this visit and with Halloween just around the corner too! I'm spooked for sure! I'm so glad you found you 'could be arsed' to do this visit. The water's soon going to cover up all of these gems again, and it was so fascinating. It was really great to see the Bolton Abbey train too, having ridden on it when on holiday in the area. The dam is just amazing and you can always rely on the Victorians to overdo with architecture. They'd hate the way we throw up all all those ugly buildings now. It's a sight to behold. Your brew was really luxury style on this outing and I loved the entertainment thrown in by James! Thanks all of you... a sincere pleasure to have been able to join you! 👍
It’s was a really cool video the reservoir was very beautiful and loved the bonus footage of the steam train ❤❤
I find when you do the old map comparison to be realy helpful in visualizing things, thankyou so much for sharing this part of the world with us.
Yipes. That photo of the dam in action was scary.
I've been over that dam, absolutely beautiful, even the pump house, like you said, why can't we have architecture like this anymore, it is pleasing to the eye and fits in so well, now it would be grey concrete. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed it 👍
They were built to last forever, now only for 30 years.
Every one of the stones used in the construction of that dam would've been dressed by hand, using only a hammer and chisels.. Truly amazing.
Just found this on my 10:00 AM break, thanks for making a good morning better.....
They don’t make public buildings like that anymore. Great video, thanks!👍🇬🇧
That dam is stunning.
That waterwheel could be free energy for those who live in those houses. :D
A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WORK.
That was the quarry up the hillside, and what is now a road was once an inclined plane where the loaded wagons ging down would pull the empties back up. You can still find the foundations of the loco sheds and workshops, both narrow and standard gauge, and the sites of all the housing blocks.
Nice vid. You can really see the brown peatyness from the overhead footage.
WOW! The sight of that dam is amazing!
I also liked the watermill better than the car! Also at Pateley Bridge is an old quarry with a pile of rubble that used to be a pumping windmill. There were plans at one time to re-erect the tower, but nothing came of this.
Nice video Martin thanks guys....Chris
Another cracker Martin and the boys. Loved the little saddle tank steamer as well 👍👍
So glad you took the trip, great video, thank you.
The most impressive dam I've ever seem. It's not just functional, but ruddy gorgeous to boot.
What an awesome dam! Added it to my travel plans for when I visit the UK
Yeah its nice up there
Years ago I looked after an old lady who was brought up in the Shanty village they built for the workers and families. There was everything they needed a school even a picture house when you drive up to Scar house on your left you can see the concrete bases of the buildings
Apparently the concrete base for the projector in the picture house is still there.
what a beautiful structures 😍😍😍😍😍😍 great video Martin
Awesome drone footage. 👌
Never heard of it. An amazing place.
You are right that the track at the far side of the dam was a 'railway' from the quarry on the side of Deadmans Hill . Back in the 60's a lot of track remained as did some of the winding gear . Walked a few times from Middlesmoor ove the 'miners' track to the dam & up the railway to the shooting lodge , Little Whernside & in to Kettlewell .
Lovely film! I remember Nidderdale from the odd trip when I were a lad. I do agree that these 'lost villages' r the spookiest of the spooky.. 👻Thanks also to commentators who fill in the odd bit of info.. That's what it's all about guys! Nice one Martin. 🌟👍
The ideal day out, nice work!
what a lovely dam , great video martin
I love your videos, Martin! As an American, I had to chuckle at "it was quite a drive" when it's only 70 miles. 😆
Yeah its not all motorway though, lots of windy roads
@@MartinZero, windy roads are my favorite -- makes the journey as enjoyable as the destination, IMO.
Stunning architecture in the middle of nowhere, you can see that happening these days.
Funnily enough the Nidd Aqueduct taking water from the reservoir to Bradford passes under the railway just past the eastern end of Bolton Abbey station where you were, and also runs above ground over a bridge over Hambleton beck which you can see from the main road near the turning for the station.
My grandfather was the foreman of the gang that laid the Nidd Aqueduct. From Scar House to Chellow Heights, Bradford is approx. 30 miles and the water flows all the way under gravity with no pumping stations involved.
Loved this video…. Yorkshire really is amazing
That dam is magnificent! Seems we no longer have the great workmanship as was in the past. Thanks for bringing us such beauty
Thank you Martin and lads your adventures never cease to amaze! The dam and pumphouse have a fairytale look to them damsels in distress and knights in shining armour would fit right in!
Yet another gem from Team Zero. Cannot wait for next weeks offering
Wow another amazing video glad you found another reservoir revealing old building I'm amazed at the finds keep the videos coming they're very interesting 👍
The dam towers look like the prison from the Dr. Who episode Heaven Sent. Another great video Martin.
I look forward to each release. I shall be flying into Manchester this spring, would be my honor to meet you lads, a perfect day would be a day like this video,!,
Great stuff, let us know when your coming
When it started, I thought you had accidentally uploaded an episode of Thomas the Tank engine. Or is that in the car for keeping James busy 🤔 while driving. Top video as usual. Would not be the same without the brew. 💪🤟🤗👍
Been looking forward to your next adventure
Really enjoyed this one Martin, isn’t that dam just fantastic!
What a beautiful structure
Hi Martin nice to see you back great vlog
A beautiful & interesting sight. You don't see many original BMW 8 series these days 😂 The damn & reservoir were fascinating too!
