- A little detour I took whilst filming for our next video Tag It. I didn't use it in the vid as it didn't really fit the theme or flow of the film, anyway, the Brinksway caves a.k.a Maggie's caves are carved into sandstone on the bankings of the River Mersey and have apparently been there since the late 1600s.
To this day nobody actually knows what their use was but one thing's for sure I was lucky not drop 90 foot lol.

Magic!
Here is some history I dug out Clarke “The caves at Brinksway, we always thought were workshops but just recently we’ve found out that they were built by the navvies who built the viaduct. So you have the link there, the caves are by the river and the navvies were working to build the bridge over the river for the railway and were very much in danger of being on top of it, of falling in while they were working and it was apparently a shanty town, which is what they used to do. Thousands of them would turn up in a town to build viaducts and railway lines and had to find somewhere to live and they weren’t paid very much so they couldn’t get board and lodging and they used to build these shanty towns and of course the caves, probably was a bit of a minor cave network and they’ve increased it made themselves somewhere to live. They would be mainly Irish and they would travel around with the railway wherever they were being built, with their families as well, not just the men. It just happened to be that we were doing a talk about it and a gentleman came up, as they often do and said “my grandfather told me when I was a little lad that he remembered or his grandfather had remembered them actually living there”. So it had been passed down through the family and everyone else had forgotten about it”.

I couldnt tell you m8 but its possible eh?
The turd escalator lol, great vid :)

Great video mate 👌 keep up the good work
Cheers man!
Brilliant that was mate. Maggie likes to damage my nerves in my thumb when i went there and now you too with your fingers lol Someone said the Irish immigrants made it for a place to sleep when they built the viaduct. Maybe? Them holes in the wall look like the ones in the air raid shelter where they once had timber seats. Top explore mate. We need to do a callab maybe next month
Cheers, Carl and yeah I've heard a few rumours m8, to be honest, there was even a family with children living there in the early 2000s how sad a story is that m8?
And yeah well deffo get out at some point next month man maybe something military related eh?
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Interesting stuff. Yes military sounds good
Excellent, just done the Dodge Hill shelters last week with Daft Monkey,. Defiantly want to film this one. Top stuff lads...
Cheers m8 and yeah Ive seen a few doing dodge hill pal looks like quite a vast little network down there man.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Hi mate, it is, gotta admit, a bit wary , as some people have got lost in, didnt come across them lol. Best site I have done..👍👍👍
@@derelictmanchester8745 Im glad you got in m8 I love doing what I do esepcially places like that locked away and frozen in time. And yeah theres probably a few mumified corpses knocking about down there eh lol. If Im going out any way thats how I wanna be found one eyed fucking willy style skeletonized down the paris catacombs or in a pripyat tenement block lol.
The air raid shelter is well worth a visit
Yeah, I'm thinking of getting done very soon pal a friend of mine reckons it's been sealed off though so well see man!
Awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much appreciated man thanks for watching!
Boss this clarky lad 👌🏻☝🏻
Thanks m8 glad you enjoyed m8!
Awesome find
Cheers m8 thanks for watching man!
The Urban Collective no worries it’s a good one
Thank’s matey
That’s looks like a sandstone geo polymer structure. That ain’t carved out or natural rock they are totally man made and the level your standing on inside is probably 2/3rds the way up from the actually ground level.
Great vid
Thanks m8.
I read a report somewhere that they need to fill in several of the caves to support the road above?
Yeah there were apparently a few more here at one point m8!
Good video m8, Stockport air raid shelters are must see, just to let you know there is another section in there which I think they open on Tuesday, also checkout crank caverns in st Helens.
Yeah I will do nice digger and yeah I know the access point for the non public shelter dude jhst waiting on the right day man!
Look like caves in collarado and France, Italy etc good find
Yeah, man cheers dude nobody even knows what they were built for I reckon they were living quarters at some point as there seem to a chimney there!
Very interesting
Apparently caves were once used as a brothel. Probably still are every friday and saturday :)
pmfsl high;ly likely pal!
Brilliant film lads..BTW thank you for subscribing to my channel..👍👍👍👍
Much appreciated brother see you out there!
theres a cave near the river over the road from the bow garrets further back from the one your in it goes under the road and you can see the grid in the mid of the road
Oh there is? cheers m8!

Rev 6:15 people will be running to caves to escape what's coming and who's coming to Earth : Luke 21:11-35 Matthew 24:29-40 Matthew 25 Acts 1:1-11 😀
No ones coming to earth a lot of people are gonna be leaving it...
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt to Elon musk mars excursions 😁👍
@@nopretribrapture2318 Pmfsl nar m8 just another frequency I think Il be going too!
I was in there years ago, pity we couldn't hear what you were saying because of the music - mind you, WHEN we could hear you what you were saying, it couldn't be understood anyway.
Yeah, sound was a bit dodgy on this one pal I was picking up with the mic and the cam by mistake having said that though everyone else could hear it, man. Tk it ez
no way did terry christian narrate this
Pmfsl yeah I figured Id start a TH-cam channel m8 thanks for watching!
''Its all caved in''
Im surprised they arent using these caves as Covid testing centres
Yeah it was on its way when we went m8. And the way thi gs are going brother Id say within ten years people will be living in em again once society completely crumbles...
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Society as been Royally stiffed
I used to visit the North ss a kid and went down Salford, Ordsall lane and all that, also Liverpool, I loved those terraced houses cobbled streets, real community spirit, pubs everywhere
Look at the state of it all now, very few pubs, the bruisers on the door wearing face nappies, everyone social distancing instead of being on the roof lobbing slates
Ps I like your content, Im sorry I can't send a few bob Im on the bones of my arse due to illness but I will share your vids around tho all the best
@@daverok1113 M8 your viewership history and comments alone are the reward for what I do and allways will be, I tottally appreciate you for it so please dont apologise for not giving money EVER' that is just a bonus for us from those who can and never has been or will be a requirement, true appreciation for me is shown through viewership and engagement and thats exactly why I do what I do to create our own historical archive that people actually want to see and that includes the interactivity from the people. I just want to make films that folk actually watch to the end. Films that make them think and hopefully take something from. I thank you wholeheartedly for your viewership and history and connectivity and never ever expect money from anybody as a show of appreciation for what I do. I hope you have a quality Christmas if possible' or at least a contempt one without difficulty or worry. Yours thankfully.
Clarky
Ps: dont forget to join us xmas eve at 7.30pm for a premiere you'll never forget!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Ghost town in Salford, those gaffs look liveable to me
The terraced areas only needed a refurb not flattening
They are now destroying every aspect of life.
People's freedoms and livelihoods being trashed for a cold virus never proven to exist
There is no proof, no pure isolate of Sars2, its all bollox
Your work reminds viewers of these changes but let them them not forget their hard won freedoms that are also beingf demolished
The anti lockdown protests in MCR are growing and that is good but they really need to grow faster and bigger everywhere or the kids that at one time played tag with half bricks in Ordsall are now being scared with BS about a virus, wear a mask save granny and BS climate hysteria
People must get of the couch and fight tooth and nail for them
Have a great XMAS, sorry for the Aldi cheap wine inspired monologue ))))
@@daverok1113 It's these monologues that people need brother as there all fast asleep snoring whilst there is 100% an Agenda at play. Ive been foolowing it for years and it seems now we are in full swing as people just allow their freedoms to be taken away... in fact in some cases they are asking for it!
All's I can say brother is I will fight tooth and nail, because I did play tag with bricks' -literally. I also wont die a programmed coward. All the best brother.
ffs stop saying Mint! and stop taking the Lord's name in vain constantly.
Seeing as though your the one person out of the current 3.3k views to say it then the answer is no I wont. I change for nothing and no one no disrespect pal and sorry if I offended you religiously its just a form of habit I mean no offence...
