STOCKPORT'S DODGE HILL AIR RAID SHELTER (HAUNTED)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- The Dodge Hill deep level shelter is one of three deep level air raid shelters in Stockport, which were dug into the red sandstone on which the town centre stands on. The smallest of the tunnel shelters could accommodate 2,000 civilians and the largest 6,500 civilians. The shelters were constructed in 1938 and 1939. Stockport was bombed for the first time on 11 October 1940
After the end of the War, the tunnels were sealed up and remained virtually as they had been. Nowadays, in one of the shelters of Stockport are guided tours.

Cheers Lee! Thanks a lot mate 👍🏼🐒
Great video. Had me on the end of my seat!
Haha, that’s what I wanted😄 thanks for watching Judith 👍🏼🐒
Another belter, well done !
Thanks so much Zarmer 👍🏼🐒
@@daftmonkey7296 It should be me thanking you, you dont know this but by watching your videos i have learnt so much about our local areas. I particularly loved the Lowry documentary as i live just around the corner from Station Road Swinton, and i used to work in the Acme Mill (sadly no longer there) which inspired a lot of Lowrys work. I do have a little TH-cam channel (zarmer16) no where near your level, just local drone footage but i have to say that a lot of my inspiration comes from watching your work. My wifes grandmother used to work at Westons in Salford, Black Douglass.s old factory, how random is that? Keep up the good work and all the very best you and yours for the New Year. Les
@@zarmer16 that’s very flattering Les thank you very much. I have just subbed to your channel as well, love the drone footage over the Irwell you did the other day! Really clear and quality footage, well done mate! Looking forward to seeing some more of your content, keep it up 👏🏼 all the best to you and yours as well 🙌🏼
Excellent production yet again! having been down some of the shelters in Stockport Myself, once on a tour with Grandkids, an adult tour where you saw a bit more in depth and Flecky Bennett does a haunted tour, I was particularly interested in your take on it all. You didn't disappoint! well presented, researched and produced. Interesting to watch, keeping your audience captivated. Some great laugh out loud one liners in there too, 'Don't shit me up Dad' haha, so bringing some lighthearted humour in there too. Altogether another fabulous piece of viewing. Well done x
That means so much Anne-Marie thank you! This was completely different really to my normal content but I felt it had a bit of everything. Paranormal, exploration , history and like you said some lighthearted moments too. Thanks once again for watching and have a great new year! 👍🏼🐒
Just came back from seeing the open tour air raid shelter in Stockport. It was humbling and eerie
I still need to book on it. Sounds like it’s a great experience 👍🏼
Enjoy all of your docs. Thankyou
much appreciate Stephen! cheers mate
@@daftmonkey7296 I’m with you on this one.Absolute sacrilege to see those old cotton mills eg in Oldham demolished ie wharf st mill with the turntable where trains were loaded up with bales of cotton and transport them to mcr. and Dawn mill Royton pulled down.Apparantly Wharf st mill was listed but some Big Noise had his fingers in many pies👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
My mum was in the blitz in Manchester she lived in Market place she told us they were running to a shelter the raid had started she remembers dodging molten glass on the pavement from the firestorm,their house was bombed out they lost everything at Christmas time as well,later on in life she developed dementia as she deteriorated and couldn’t speak many words the only thing she would say is” I’m frightened “ which we thought she was reminiscing of her times in the Blitz. RIP Mumxx
my condolences to your mum Barri, it must have been such a terrible time for people back then to be living in fear. they were definitely cut from a different cloth that's for sure.
This is brilliant
Thanks so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼🏴
broke in to them in the early 90s... takes me back..... we used to kip in there on the old wire bunk beds and some old car seats we took down ther .....nice vid👍
Thanks a lot mate, much appreciated. Balls of steel kipping down their mate haha. It’s a great place.
love the "show me the lamp" (or wat ever it was and "dust" voice.. very cool video like always
Thanks a lot mate! Yeah, really weird that. That place freaks me out. Mooching in brinksway next 🤞🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 welcome. Cool.. Not been but have seen videos.. But ages ago
Brilliant as all was
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We did these about 9 years ago m8,,,we went there the other night and they are sealed up now,,great video m8 👍👍
Imagine the fear that people down there must have felt! Will they still have a home after the bombing stops? A Church to go and pray for the war to end? Friends and Relatives? Jobs? So much at stake but you are still powerless to change anything! So you wait in the dark! Great work as always fella! You gave a better talk than the guide in the Chestergate tunnels (I went there a few years back) Re: that noise - I'll be hiding under the covers tonight! Ha ha. Bravo!
That’s what was going through my head nick. All those people not knowing the outcome... their lives in the hands of others, it must have been horrific. Soon as I can I’m gonna do the tour, it looks great. Thanks once again mate and take care 👍🏼🙌🏼
Absolutely brilliant great research and filming, with a sinister twist..excellent and gripping DM 🐒
Keep up with these excellent videos..can’t wait for the next one
thanks a lot dad ! much appreciate...sorry about the hair dye... (raven black) haha!
I’ll get you back 🤔🤔
@@stevemulligan8427 👨🏻
Careful cute dogs have a habit of upstaging us mere mortals (er and monkeys ) nice video btw cheers Rob
Haha! They sure do rob! Thanks for watching mate ✌🏼
Another amazing video! Great capture of the history and the paranormal. Cute moomin flask BTW ☺
Haha! Thanks so much.... can't go on an explore without a Moomin flask :) haha!
Used to play in them as a child
Hi, DM. Really interesting video. I watched this one with my eldest grand daughter, and we both caught gasps, before you caught one on the voice recorder. Also an orb, that flew away from you, when you mentioned the area for the workers. I will watch again tomorrow and time-stamp them for you. Tell our Ste too, love the Moomin flask...lol. Will get back to you shortly with the time-stamps. Take care and stay safe. xxxxxx
Thanks so much for doing that! Yeah I heard quite a few with my headphones in but it couldn’t be picked up through the speakers if you get me. Thanks once again x
Absolutely fantastic love the build up love the graphics very well put together just keep them coming fella.👍
Thanks a lot Dave! I Really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great 2021 and stay safe 🙌🏼
As always another brilliant video. So interesting and educational on a serious subject but with great humour too. Well done once again mate 👍
Thanks a lot mate! Had a bit of everything this one really. Paranormal, history, exploration and a bit of lighthearted banter. It was great to film ! Thanks for watching mate 👍🏼
Sorry, lads, I have only just watched this video. I've seen most of the other videos. Going back to the recordings you made, I think it was saying SHOW US THE LIGHT, and not the lamp. Have a listen. This is great keep it up.
I think you’re right mate! Very eerie! Thanks so much for watching Darren 👍🏼
Awesome vlogumentry mate . It looked well creepy down there . Would love to be able to get down there myself. I found a few small air raid shelters at an old MOD place near me when I was a kid . And we found old shell boxes. Nice work 👍🏻
Thanks a lot mate. Yeh it definitely had that creepy vibe down their. Full of atmosphere. No way that sound mint mate. Is it still their ?
@@daftmonkey7296 unfortunately it has been built on now . History disappearing all around us 🙈
@@ianmaddams9577 travesty that Ian
Blimey ya need bigger torches down there, decent size air raid shelter that. Wouldn't want to go down there on ya own 😅. Another top top video mate, 👏 👌
Wow that some video mate I like the computer graphic spitfire plane through the video excellent that,I'm not sure I think Martin zero did a video on werneth low did you hear any more noises in that air raid shelter good video mate 👍
Thanks a lot Thomas! I'm glad that you enjoyed it mate. yeah I've saw that video, been up their a few times...it can be a little strange from time to time.. so much has happened on Werneth Low if you go back through the years.. I caught loads of voices on my camera mate but you'd need headphone in to listen and not everyone is willing to do that. I caught a weird voice in the toilets....low mumbling sound almost like a convocation. thanks once again for watching Thomas! take care mate
@@daftmonkey7296 you 2 mate keep up the good work 👍
This was brilliant I would have been out of there if I had heard that noise lol, definitely something down there .It must have been frightening for people not knowing if they would come out alive.You did a good job yet again.
thanks a lot Pauline, yeh it was really freaky down there! It definitely holds something paranormal. With all that energy and fear that must have been contained down there for all those years it isn't surprising. As always thanks for watching, I really do appreciate it :)
We played in them when were kids some of us slept in em lol
If you watch secret vault they found your left over biscuits lol
Haha really! I’ll check it out 😂
@@daftmonkey7296 if you ever go back for a ghost hunt message Mick he would go and prob drag me too lol
@@sarahsallotmentjourney haha! Yeah no worries that would make a great video! I’ll keep in touch 👍🏼
I've just discovered your channel and I am amazed.. you are amazing! You should write a book as well because I can tell you have a natural gift with words. I would buy your books... and hopefully you can sign them for me!!
Haha, thank you so much Binx for the kind words. I’m so glad that you’ve found the channel and I’m glad your enjoying the vids. It really does mean a lot. If I make a book in the future, you will be the first to have a signed copy 🙌🏼 thanks once again and take care 👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 You're welcome! Can you ever do Urmston, Flixton area? I have seen some really old historic building in the Flixton Village... Trafford Park would be a good one! I'm just binge watching all your vids now! Oow and grafitt around Manchester too?! Lovin it!
@@binxwinx8434 that’s a great shout! Yeah i will stick that on my to do list! Thanks a lot! 👌🏼
Great video Anthony 👍 I was creeped out a bit 😂 did you get your Moomins flask from Afflecks? X
Thanks for watching h Cheryl, it was pretty eerie down their that’s for sure. I got it online...it’s not mine it’s my girlfriends who wasn’t very happy I took it down their 😂😂
Why can’t more young people take a leaf out of your book respectful of the past and doing good. Keep it up ! This is the first of your vlogs I have watched and enjoyed and subscribed I look forward to watching more
Thank you so much Shaz! Honestly that really does mean so much to me. Our history and heritage it’s something that is currently being trampled on and ruined, new buildings being thrown up left right and centre on top of old historical ground that at one moment in time was so significant to our towns and cities. I hope you enjoy the content on the channel. I try and mix it up a bit and have quite a lot of variety on here so there’s something for everyone. Thanks once again and take care 🙌🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 it is refreshing to see a young man doing something good with his life I see too many of todays young turning to drink and drugs and generally wanting to be blight on society. So I give credit where credit is due.
@@ShazG69 thank you so much, that means the world🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Another amazing video. Brilliantly filmed and an interesting story to it. Am I greedy to be wanting another video to be uploaded now haha
Haha cheers mate! I’ve got loads more lined up, I’m already working on the next one 👀👀😂
Great video guys, I'm actually writing a book myself called Paranormal Manchester, I'm always looking for ghost stories to include :D Have you done one on the Manchester Underground tunnels yet? That's meant to be very haunted.
Hi Adam, apologies for the late reply. Yes! Manchester underground is definitely on the radar, but I do believe they have made it a public offence if your found down their and the police are clamping down on it. Lets hope they don't catch me hey haha! Good luck with the book, Id be interested in giving it a read once you've completed it. Take care buddy! all the best :)
Intriguing and very interesting.
When I was growing up in the 70s the war was only 30 years ago, and still fresh in people’s minds. That’s like us looking back to the 90s!
My Morse is a trite rusty, but your intro piece went: B C F T A H R
Great work love your style and have to confess love the creepy element you bring into them, please do some more ghosty stuff!The lad who was with you and your dad,Steve? does he have a youtube channel? thanks so much for keeping me and many others entertained in these awful times,take care and keep em coming.
Thank you so much Phil for taking the time out to watch the video. I’ve got plenty of locations planned this year that have a creepy/paranormal vibe to them. I’ll drop them in between other videos as I know people do the the creepy stuff haha. No mate he doesn’t have a channel, he just comes for the enjoyment of exploring. I’ll have a blow in his ear to get himself a channel set up. Thanks once again Phil and stay safe mate 👍🏼
That was brilliant daft monkey and to be down there in the shelters during the war must have been terrifying. It looks like you captured some really unusual energy while you were down there too . I'm glad you filmed Werneth Low also as that's quite an unusual place as well and great for skywatching too. Like you say for them to have seen what was happening must have been really distressing from that view they had up there. Loved your time for tea break, you cant beat a Mr Kipling lol. Thanks so much for sharing yet another great video. Your videos are amazing. Peace to you in 2021. 🔴🟡🟢
I can’t thank you enough for checking out the video Ruth. Yeah, the energy down their is on a different level. You can almost close your eyes and imagine what would have gone on back then. It must have been terrifying. Your sport on about Werneth Low, that places has had a few goings on up their for centuries now...so many stories good and bad...haha Mr. Kipling all the way! 😂 have an amazing 2021 Ruth, take care love 🙌🏼🐒
We never Got told them ones were haunted.. But the ones at brinksway not far from there were.
Yeah I’ve heard about brinksway being haunted. Crazy to think that you some of you slept down their 😁 you must be mad! 😂 is have shit my load mate. I’m gonna get myself in brinkway very soon and there will be another video coming too. Thanks once again for taking the time out to watch the video. Take care mate 👍🏼
@@daftmonkey7296 u too mate.. Loved your take on angel meadow...peace bro
@@badboysoul8691 I really do appreciate that cheers mate✌🏼
Great video of these shelters. Can you imagine being down in these shelters during a bombing. The rumble of the bombs dropping above shaking the tunnels below, it must have been frightening as hell wondering if the tunnels might collapse. Imagine all the smells taking place, food, peoples body odor, the honey buckets, it must have added to the nausea of the bombing above. Our parents/grandparents were made from some pretty hardy stock to have gone through all of that. I don't doubt there are still some spirits who never left these shelters.
Thanks for watching the video Paul. Yeah I totally agree it must have been such a horrific experience to have lived through. Our grandparents must have been cut from a completely different cloth to today’s era, most of them can’t even tie their own shoelace so there’s no way they could have survived back in the 30/40’s. Thanks once again mate, take care and stay safe 👍🏼🙌🏼
OMG i must stop watching and get some decorating done.! I am a 40s nutter and have never been to these shelters in stockport but i will be doing once they open again. I am a volunteer at Hangar 42 at Blackpool airport and i know it may not be your neck of the woods but it may be interesting for your dad and his paranormal investigations. There are things that go on in the hangar which i was amazed at when i was told. We had the Most Haunted team there before this pandemic and i joined in but there was activity 'off' camera.....almost as if they didnt really like strangers being there. Anyway must put this phone down now and pick up a paintbrush......once again thanks chaps. Sarah 🐶🐶🐶
Another amazing VLOG 😊 And not to freak you out, but when you recorded the word ‘Dust’ a few minutes later in your VLOG you made the observation ‘can you imagine the vibrations when the bombs were falling; can you imagine the dust?’. Maybe someone was trying to tell you something! Again, interesting to me as my mum/my grandparents were in Levenshulme at the time. The Germans bombed all the way up Stockport Road but didn’t realise the road had a bend - they carried on bombing straight and bombed through the McVites factory where my Nana worked 😊. You should have had McVites not Mr Kipling! Love your Moomin flask (fellow fan!). Thanks fir a great video 👍
Wow i didn’t know that Ani! Hahah! Why didn’t I do that! McVites would have been so fitting! 🙈 haha you can’t beat the Moonins can you...it was my girlfriends flask..she wasn’t too happy me using it😂 wow I didn’t realise we mentioned the “dust” maybe something was listening in. As always, thank you for watching 🐒
Dust did anyone die down there due to high boming, and did the lamps go out during this
That’s a very big possibility James. I wouldn’t know for sure but it seems like it could have been likely. Thanks for checking out the video mate, I really do appreciate it 👍🏼
You are ded good at this video stuff
Funny I was up werneth low last week for a.meal at Hare And Hounds
