Hi Steve , the next time you are at a Council meeting , could you ask those lovely councillors what is the budget for river dredging and drain clearing in Stockport ? Do you remember those drain cleaning vehicles that used to lift the grids up and plunge a suction pump into the drain and keep them clean up and down every street , where have they gone to ?
Loved having a nosy round the hidden bits of Stockport. You should do the explorer tour if they still do it, at the air raid shelters.. I'm not mobile enough to go down any more but would love to watch it.. Thx for covering the floodings.. I'm hoping Stockport will get some better shops soon
worked on merseyway for 16 years as a ind-cleaner for donaldsons managment, same place where u got your keys to enter the door to the river, and all the time i worked there above and below, never new there was a door there near the jewlers lol, love the video
If you go behind Barclays Bank in Stockport you will see the front of the old Buck and Dog pub on the left side of the wall you will see a plaque that shows how high the river level has been in the past if I remember rightly it's about 4 feet up the wall
I've got a theory too - farmers putting in land drains. Several fields I've passed by over the years that used to go underwater when it rained heavily now stay dry on the surface, but the roads passing by below the field are running like rivers. Seemed to be a lot of land drains going in in the 2000's and I think it's one reason heavy rain seems to lead to flash flooding more often than it used to. (the other obvious change is increased areas of land being built up and paved over)
It's called the bear pit coz they used to have bears performing for spectators. They were kept in a yard, backing into the air raid shelters, and when you visit the tour guide shows you where they kept the bears.. 😄
Loved this, I’ve been working Stockport and it takes me through and beneath Merseyway, driving through where you walked , never ever dawned on me that whilst I’ve been under Merseyway that a river has been racing along on the other side. Keep going, loving it 👍🏻
Pub was Buck & Dog. Plaque/ inscription is on the wall to the left of the old entrance to the pub. All the best from Canada 🇨🇦and keep the videos going👍🏻
Nothing lol! We moved Vancouver because weather not as bad here, pacific coast. But when it does, a good few feet. But only for a few days and then it’s gone again, love it😂
Cheers for that -I've walked past that entrance off underbank hundreds of times and never even wondered what was down there. IIRC there used to be an underground public toilet on the opposite side of the open area to the timpsons kiosk, when I realised the river was underneath I began wondering if it was a steel box dangling over the river.
The floodwater coming from the grid in the 70s image is from Tin Brook. There's a bottleneck at a junction below it which causes the floodwater to back up due to debris blocking the chute below it. Not convinced it's from the river as there's a massive flap at the outfall which should stop back-flow. It overflowed only a few years back with only a minor change in the river level. Suprised to see the inspection gantry has been ripped out. It was mounted well above 'normal' river level!
It is incredible that they will concrete/tarmac over large areas but don't increase the sewer system to cope with the excess run off, especially from heavy rains. As this video shows, the water does recede fairly quickly BUT our old system cannot cope with increasing population and aggressive constructions that strains the system in bad weather.
At the beginning of your video. If you had turned right and walked past Barclays Bank. Used to be a a pub at the end, forget the name. On the side of the pub is a plaque with the height of the worst flood Stockport had, if it’s still there.
Thanks Steve - very interesting flood films thank you! I'm sure there is - or certainly was - a plaque on the right hand side of Wellington Bridge (the one near 'the bearpit') marking the height of a previous flood - I can't remember which year. (I took some pictures of it years ago.) Might have answered your question about whether the recent flood was the highest? Also, are there any readings taken from the excellent river level meter thing near Brinksway Bridge? If so, again that would answer the question. Keep up the good work!
When you add it to all the other weather records that are being broken on an increasingly regular basis tthe whole world over, it kind of does add up to climate change, very much so in fact...
There used to be cages with fighting bears in them. They used to back onto the river. I'm not sure what era it was. I dont think there's geo engineering in the UK, yet, but it must have a knock on effect when the wjnd blows it across to us.
born were the pyramid is ring avenue july 1973 my mum couldn't get to hospital because all brinksway was flooded so i was born at home,it must have been higher,and i have seen it higher
Hi Y'all and EDGE OF THE MATRIX, point's taken onboard; a book WALK IN CASE BY SANDRA DAROY, Walk in case 'Some cases gobeyond', Foreword: The 'Sun', will come out at the end. Worth a read. World's history and mechanisms, money, the riddle with no final answer. Then control of the planet and the soul 'intruder's; does this sound familiar with points raised by EDGE OF THE MATRIX.
Intriguing!!! Did you ever pull anyone outt alive ? I remember years ago a physic woman helping the police find a missing woman and she was under merseyway
I find it hard to resist commenting if I think a video is interesting and I feel I've got something to add - unless people are being downright insulting, try and think about them being interested in what your producing and trying to be helpful rather than jumping on you and giving you a kicking.
Thank you, and that’s a really good few points you raise. I think videos need to be interesting for the viewer in the first instance, and secondly I think whoever is making it needs to be their authentic self rather than trying to adopt some annoying alter-ego. Thanks again for your input 👍

Love learning about the River in Stockport. Also love the hat Steve 😉
Just wait to see what I have planned for next year 🤫
Great video Steve. Really interesting look around the area and great questions about what is causing this strange weather
Look up dane wigington. Documentary the dimming. HAARP .operation popeye. It's all there 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Yes I remember those toilets from when I was younger. It makes you wonder if they were emptied into the river 🤔. Surely hope not!!!
Nice documentation brother
Appreciate it 🙏

There's a geoengineering outfit based at RAF Valley on Anglesey
@@taztaz6539 do have any more info on it please. Or are you talking about HAARP
@@taztaz6539 do you have any more info about it please
Still allowing development on flood plains in Oldham, more likely cause of increased flooding down stream.
@@DrWrapperband definitely not helping 😒

Are the drains clear or like the rivers not been dredged for years

@@walks1275 the white lion .
The Urban Legend has a video going under the precinct
At 10m span and 430m wide, it's basically a tunnel rather than a bridge.

Yeah I didn’t think about the water level markers on the bridges. It’s definitely the hugest I’ve ever seen it.
The flooding previously was definately July 1973 (as I only started work 3 weeks earlier and was working on the clean up).
Nice video but it was just a weather event not climate.
Look up dane wigington. Documentary the dimming 😮
Or operation popeye

@@trish1can2 ask your self a question. If they could control the weather ? Would they? And for what?
Peanuts that compared to Rochdale before it was opened up!
There used to be cages with fighting bears in them. They used to back onto the river.
I'm not sure what era it was.

Operation Cumulus, UK cloud seeding, flooded Lynmouth, Devon in 1952, killing over 30 people.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍👍👍
Interesting video, Google RAF Rainmakers, 1950’s Cornish village flooded after cloud seeding
Yes my wife was actually telling me about that 👍

Yeah we rescued a few over the years. One almost reached the pyramid before we got her!

Who's idea was it building a shopping centre above a river 🧐
They said at the time that it would bring Stockport into the ‘Space Age’ 😊
