What some fabulous scenery we were treated to in this video. Just stunning! And the crane is a marvel and just amazing that it's stood there so silently and undisturbed for so long. From an age when our engineering was the best in the world. An enormous thing and in a strange way its size made me think of science fiction movies and H G Wells' War of the Worlds. A smashing video guys, thank you!
Omg what an amazing video that crane looked like time stood still it's amazing what you find out & about when you find history another excellent video Martin 👍
Another masterpiece lads. Got to thinking how many dawns and dusks that old crane has seen from its resting place it’s steel frozen by the winter of 63 and hot to the touch in the summer of 76. Comet Hale - Bopp that was clearly visible in the sky in 95 for many months maybe the occasional spitfire in the sky during world war 2 - fireworks in the far distance celebrating each new year someone tell me I’m not the only one that this lovely video didn’t cause the mind to wander 🫠
Fabulous chaps and timmy. Hope you all enjoyed your trek. James hit the nail on the head when he mentioned "no graffiti" lovely to see that, clean and undisturbed. 🥰🐾🐾🐾
I loved this video Martin and what a great way for one of the industrial Goliath's to return back to nature. Looking at how the cast parts are surviving I'm pretty sure they will still be around in another 100 years. With regards to the holes in the stone, thats not for explosive, it is for a technique called plug and feather. A series of wedges are systematically driven in to a row of drilled holes until the stone can no longer stand the strain and splits. Some dressed stone quarries still use the same process today as explosive can cause fracturing making the stone useless for dressing. A modern technique is in esscence industrial grade expanding foam which is injected into the holes.
Fascinating video and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Lovely to see you've recruited and new member to the team. Thank you Martin, James, Roy, and last but not least, Timmy.
this is the only think i look forward to on a Sunday ... watching a new M.Z. Vid being i cant walk i dont get to go out and do this type of stuff anymore ... and i do miss seeing things no one else does ... TY again Martin i live a lil though your vids
When you first showed that old crane, in its "natural environment, it literally took my breath away. Like you guys. i fervent hope that is left alone for all to enjoy, and marvel at, for many years to come.
That is absolutely stunning, and a testament to the quality of the steel used to make the machiney because the Forest of Bowland is notorious for bad winters. Snow, frost, freezing conditions so for it to survive all that is a hats off moment to the engineers who made it
They must have been real tough times, Martyn, to be able to install that railway and the crane to be brought up to the site, into such a most isolated spot. This must be one of the most isolated locations that yourself, James and Roy have ventured. An exceptionally good video is this and worth the journey just to see the crane still intact, as well as the lovely scenery around. Many thanks, and all of you keep well.
I wonder how many of the men that laid the narrow gauge line had been doing exactly the same in Belgium and France just a couple of years earlier? Great video Martin and the gang.
Another great video , lovely bit of industrial heritage left behind , Does this count adventure count as training towards the marathon James and Martin
Another entertaining and thoughtful video Martin. I always look forward to your historical coverage which is excellent. Keep up the good work. Greg in Melbourne Australia.
Absolutely blown away by what has just happened to me whilst watching this video!!! Parked up in my car in Shaw near Oldham mid video I raise my head and James and his dog were walking towards me. Utterly gobsmacked I just stared in disbelief as they passed 😂😂 Didn’t say anything cos he was on his phone, probably talking to Martin Made my day that😊
The tramway to Jumbles was an extension of an existing line from a quarry nearer to the reservoir. Not quite a 100 years either since it was abandoned nearer 90 years ago. Great to see the crane and quarry again.
Looks like Timmy's going to be a regular star of the channel! I have never been to this particular reservoir and wood, but I spent a lot of years in the North West, and the nature of the countryside is unmistakable. Very different to and somewhat contrasting with my home county of East Yorkshire, but so very beautiful. There is a way in which the stones in rivers blend from grey to green in the north west that is unique and magical. I do hope the trippers leave the crane alone, but its so great to see it, very poignant I think. You know the Portuguese tart is really just a glorified egg custard, but v tasty, yes. I do remember the famous Holland's Meat and Potato Pie, but my favourite was the Meat Pie, if you remember, which was like an organic robot's head, you got the little round pastry case for its skull, and inside, the brain, which was a blob of meat (mostly minced lamb) floating in the encepholitic fluid (delicious clear lamb stock). The trick was to get them to put the chips in the tray, then the gravy and stick the robots head on top. Then you made a small hole in his tiny cranium and the delicious encepholitic fluid would dribble out onto the chips and gravy, turning the whole into an Al fresco post-pub delight! Really hit the spot. I envy you. You got 2 horrible catering sausages on YOUR breakfast, but the stingy b******s down here only give me one. Nice one anyway Martin! 🌟👍
typical first class video Martin and lads. What a beautiful setting lads and what a masterpiece of history. Thanks to you I have seen a bit of the history of the moors. Thanks again and keep up your brilliant work.....
Very interesting video Martin, enjoyed it a lot. Tell James I hope he is following the vets advice for little Timmy. Our vet said to keep our puppy out of water for at least three weeks( after going out the first time)for the vaccination to fully take effect.
@@MartinZero As someone who rescues cats and used to get them jab bed and then noticed them getting allergies,asthma, cancer etc I would advise you to do some research and you will discover it is all a massive money making scam to create customers for the vets/doctors etc on behalf of big "farma". None of our animals get jabbed and neither do we either. The Poi soned Ne edle, Vir us Man ia and Wh at Re ally Ma kes You Ill are just three of many books exposing this and more.
What a lovely video. The way you go about finding all these historic pieces is wonderful to watch.. It looks like not many people venture to it. Great to see a lot of the track in situ. I don't think grafiti artists will venture that far, so it will be the same in another 100 years. Look forward to the next one. Many Thanks
Ah ha! Someone else has found the steam crane! Yep, great little nugget of industrial heritage tucked away from view, plenty more to find. Plus a pint at the Buck as well, classic Bowland day out👍
Another excellent video, another gem . Being Portuguese,i love "Pastel de Nata" , Portuguese Tart , Lidl does some very good ones , i always take some home when i go to a Lidl . Take care guys
Your videos are so refreshing to watch. A step back in time to a simpler life [ though harder ] when things were built to last. Very interesting. And if course, great banter ! Thanks
Stocks reservoir was build by Fylde water board for Blackpool and the fylde coast, Warbreck Hill water tower was built as part of the same scheme to improve water pressure to Fleetwood. Not quite the Thirlmere aquaduct but a massive undertaking nonetheless. Good video Martin, and on my doorstep 👍
Many thanks Timmy and the lads it was a long old walk but a very beautiful one all the same, I was thinking of the men that worked on that crane they are all long gone but the crane still sits there almost like it's waiting for the men to start it up again.
That was lovely thanks! Living down in London I rarely get to go out to quiet, bleak places (though I have been to Croydon, which is bleak in its own way!) - when I do I see my dad in Scotland in a touristy area. It's lovely to see quiet places still exist.
Thank you for the remote trip today. Amazing steam machine just sitting there deteriorating and not used. Enjoy the week ahead, and see you on the next. 😊
I have been enjoying your work for long time,and I never tire of it. I hope so much my mate Mike and I can treat you guys to pints when we are in Manchester. Staying at Cow Hollow Inn, Northern Quarter
Martin and guys, what a fabulous video and made in my neck of the woods for a change, being from the Accrington area. I've been to 'Stocks Res' and the Trough of Bowland many times, Waddington too of course. But the story of the quarry and old steam crane is new to me and made for a trully fascinating watch. Please keep up the work you do, your documenting history in such a friendly and memorable way.
I worked on crawler cranes around 25 years ago and found this very enjoyable. So great to see it untouched lost in time by itself on the moor. Great stuff.👍
Beautiful work. I was very moved and it’s even more special as I am sitting in the sunshine beside the pool in southern Spain. I do love the beauty of the UK and industrial past. All the best.
PUPPY ! Hi Martin, OK, who's puppy he's cute. Thanks for a beautiful walk, I remember back in the 60s, there was a steam tractor in a corner of an almond farm. I still love finding old machinery out where no one goes. Thanks again
Up near Tosside! I haven't been up there for at least twenty five years. We bought a tractor from a dealer at Tosside! Looking at those gears, they've taken a lot of wear and tear, and despite the rust and corrosion, it's clear to see that crane was far from it's first flush of youth. I'm wondering if it was already well worn before it was taken there, probably with the idea in mind that it wouldn't be coming home after the job was done. From all the missing parts, it looks like it was well picked over at some point - All the brasses are gone, no gauges left behind, not even corroded remnants, boiler inspection ports all taken out - They certainly don't just fall out. 'Thas certainly suffered for its sins over the years.
Another fine video and good to see a Thomas Smith Rodley Steam Crane i saw one use in Timberyard in Larbert,Scotland in the late 70's converted from Steam to a Perkins 4Cylinder Diesel Operated Crane in the 50's formerly fired with coal and waste wood there are at least 6 Preserved two still Steam Powered one at Beamish another in Birmingham.
As always, a great balance of history, humour and ever improving production. Top job lads and thanks for sharing (I suspect you've got a respectable enough audience to trust them with such a treasure). 👍
What a beautiful place. The stonework was just beautiful. How wonderful to see the steam chance with no graffiti, such a change. It was beautiful. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
Thanks for this Martin. I have driven and ridden the cross of greet road many, many times - one of my favourite bimbles and quite local to me, but I had no idea that all that was there. Not being picky, but that area is not the Trough of Bowland, whole area is the Forest of Bowland but the actual Trough is about 6 mile south west [as the crow flies] of where you were.
@@MartinZero "It was used at jumbles quarry in the trough of Bowland" . The reason that there are no trees is that the actual original definition of a forest is a hunting ground - mainly for royalty. Today, we associate forests with trees and woods, but that was not always the case - word use and meanings change over time.
Your Breakfast looked like the perfect way to start any adventure... I wonder why the crane was left at the quarry, I'm almost sure it was a expensive piece of equipment when new. The long walk to get there could why there is so little damage and no graffiti, "graffiti artist" may not like to walk that far. Another great watch, looked like a great day for doing a journey. Thanks to the Team.......
Awesome trek, story, location, atmosphere, and camera work. And, well, of course, marvelous machine, pretty much in one piece still after a long century out in the weather! Calmly chilling there for all that time while the world was changing so dramatically. I enjoyed this a lot, thank you for the trip!
Another fantastic and interesting video! Thank you Martin James Roy and beautiful Timmy! 🐕❤

12:59 put a white knotted handkerchief on James' head and you'll have an image of Michael Palin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
this is the only think i look forward to on a Sunday ... watching a new M.Z. Vid being i cant walk i dont get to go out and do this type of stuff anymore ... and i do miss seeing things no one else does ... TY again Martin i live a lil though your vids
Many thanks, guys. Love ❤️ your outside video, brew up and chit chat.
Hidden away in the middle of nowhere for over 100 years. Nice to see it in situ as the day it was left. What a lovely place and great video!
Another wonderful vicarious adventure -- thanks, Y'all!
Great video, and what a stunning find. The tranway, the tracks, and that steam engine especially.
Excellently filmed/presented, as always, of an enchanting story. Thanks Guys.
Thanks for the videos Martin
And yet another time to say: Thanks Martin, great clip, cool history and a pleasure to follow you!
You have some fantastic old industrial landscapes in Britain. Glad you share it with us.
Regards from Denmark

If you look carefully, you can see the remains of a Lancia Beta next to it ;) ;)
Another grand day out lads ( and Timmy ), beautiful place , thanks for taking us along 👍
Great video. Thank you for sharing your adventure with your friends.👍
Ooh.. that was a good one.. thanks again all.🐕
another well produced informative video of days gone, enjoyed watching, cheers Martin
What a amazing day and adventure just imagine such a hard life for the workers.thanks from New Zealand for your many adventures and such fun 😊😊😊😊😊😊
What an amazing time capsule. You can really see the moment they abandoned the quarry after finishing the reservoir. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Particularly enjoyed the cascades at 20:30 -- and seeing Timmy once again. Thanks for another look at your beautiful regional countryside.
One of your best videos. Wish I had been there to see it in person. Cheers from the States. Well deserved pint of Guinness for you guys.
Brilliant! Thankyou for taking me to places I physically could not visit. Big hugs to the new guy Timmy ❤
Nice one lads brilliant part of history hope it stays there for another 100 yrs 🙂✌️
Brilliant little dog. 🐕👍👍

It certainly did count
probably your most intriguing vid...charming and beautiful history but I can't help thinking about those who worked there...Great!!!

great to see Timmy out and about, he's a funny little guy
Great video guys, used to come to the trough when I was about 11 yrs old really lovely place to visit. Sadly didn't see the tram way. Thanks.
Brilliant video. Thank you for sharing Martin.
Best channel imo...another cracking vid...well.done.guys
That’s an easy restoration with so much metal left on it, someone should get it looking nice again and into a museum.

great video martin, the crane is lovely and nice to see it , but one hell of a trek to get there,
Brilliant as usual thanks lads.
great video , thank s Martin Bowland is a great place to go to
Fantastic Martin. And my "garbage guts" namesake came through with a special treat at brew time. Cheers all
Definitely Garbage guts

Well researched, and well done lads. Great video. Thanks 👍👍🫶🫶

Thanks for this Martin. I have driven and ridden the cross of greet road many, many times - one of my favourite bimbles and quite local to me, but I had no idea that all that was there.
Not being picky, but that area is not the Trough of Bowland, whole area is the Forest of Bowland but the actual Trough is about 6 mile south west [as the crow flies] of where you were.
