My uncle Johnny worked for the railroad in the goods dept had a horse and wagon we are talking 30s and 40s

Brillo 🇮🇪👌🏼

Love the mic lol x those pics are pretty cool 😎 video is cool 😎

They should build a Cafe at the top

I worked at Strong and Fishers at Bury end of the canal and walked from Radcliffe along the towpath daily

you have to arange a proper holding to your microphone 😂

people always forget the Bingley 3 rise which is also impressive

About the stone roses gig at spike Island.. somebody did film the gig on a old video camera for health and safety purposes he's found the original video in his loft and hopefully its going to be released soon.. think its only one camera filming so dont expect too much..

Its an amazing view from the top of the pike.. if nobody's been the whole area is fabulous the TV mast is absolutely massive too.. think you found it hard walking up to the pike ive run up it and it almost killed me 😂😂

The Tinn Brook runs under Robinsons Brewery yard. From time to time they have to go down man holes to retrieve things like old car tyres etc. as the brook can get partially blocked quite easily

Fantastic

Just wondering if martin does guided tours of places in and around Manchester ??. Ill pay him a few qwid..

I was born and lived in Cambridge till i was in my 20s im 50 this year and i can tell you now that urban renewal is not the best for the working class of any town or city .. when i was living in Cambridge it was a working class town with a couple of posh area's of housing and a University .. yes there were loads of students there but it was a nice place to live. I went back a few years ago and the change is shocking.. loads of student flats the cheapest house was 450 grand.. all my friends can't afford live in the town they were born in.. yes the city center looks nice but the soul of the place has been ripped out.. thankfully i moved to Lancashire 19 years and a absolutely love living up north.. the people are fantastic the countryside is beautiful and the small mill towns are a fantastic place to live...

Great vid Martin. Love the Daniel Adamson. The interior is breath-taking. The Art Deco period is my favourite. Keep up the good work.

A quick ketchup video...saucy!

Short but very sweet. You look like you enjoying the tomato sauce. That steam boat was fabulous. Would be nice to have a slow look round. Really enjoyed that thanks. Please take care

Nice to see great watch martin😊😊

Thanks martin interesting video 😊😊

Keep up great work love it😊

Is this still standing or been demolished

Cannot believe I have only come across your channel over the last week some epic content between your glad you went back to find that engine shed

Love the Pevrill of the Peak! Looks amazing.

why are you using a clip on mic as a holdable mic? just get a holdable mic if you want to hold the mic

There is a dock in Liverpool called the brocklebank dock named after Ralph brocklebank i wonder if the boat was named to honour him

One of the last places on earth I would want to go... Kudos

I must have missed when you lost that bet but I appreciate you keeping a straight face 😆

You should of gone up them steps at that first part you said don’t know what’s up there it goes in to a the storm tanker kinds of thing

That side shaft was a water shaft upto a stream coming out of the mill pond, climbed down it as a kid, some of the biggest cave spiders ever live on the roof.

clip the mike onto a cup tea, drink and talk. next a choc digestive 🤪

They concrete it for a reason. Failing masonry will collapse. Infiltration with active flow like you saw is an emergency level problem.

Extremely dangerous. An air monitor does nothing for an engulfment hazard.

Treated like a rubbish tip, litter leavers are lazy and disgusting.

Can't be good with all those bricks coming off of, I presume, the old culvert walls. A future collapse waiting to happen?

New subscriber here Martin dont know if you read your comments but your channel is fantastic.. i work alot in Manchester in the construction industry and the amount of change is incredible.. i load out of the tarmac plant in Agecroft every morning and there's definitely an old canal wall running through the place .. did you know about it..

Hi Martin…enjoyed your (very honest) video describing early childhood. I’m a bit older than yourself from Stockport and my early childhood was spent in a slum clearance house which, due to the fact I knew no difference, I thought was fantastic! The surrounding houses were all empty and I’d climb in through the windows and use them as my personal den. They had to move us when the builders accidentally knocked the outside loo down! I too had an unfeasible nemesis who went by the name of ‘Odd George’…the poor old bloke was probably suffering from early onset Alzheimer’s but we kids avoided him staring at us blankly from beneath a battered Fedora at his window. Such a shame that in the early 60’s he was left alone with no family. Your friendly Cerebral Palsy victim, Irene I think you said her name was, could still be with us as folk with this disability can easily live into their 70’s…fascinating stuff, I love your down to earth videos and enjoy the Stockport ones especially but they’re all good. Looking forward to the next one Sir. Good luck!

Great video, hope you find the Shooters Brook access one day. Looking forward to the Standedge tunnel video, I was in there around 2001 on a rail possession. They drove us in from the Marsden end in a van, fascinating place when you crossed from the service tunnels to the rail tunnel you could see the canal below !

I loved the boat. I bet it smells of hot oil and coal. Its wonderful to see heritage cared for. Great little video Martin.

That looks like a surface water drain to me what you referred to as the main sewer, there were no solids and it was flowing very fast. I may be wrong tho, If it is storm water it will go to a water course and the water in that second old sewer that you showed was heavily polluted. Sure hope it isn’t going Into a river somewhere as it will be causing some environmental damage.

An incredible feat of engineering and great that they’re still going strong!

Don’t go in sewers. Very good advice!

Was that bloke Craig him who restores furniture? Love the Citroen fact from Fran. This is a beautiful structure, boats I can take or leave haha. Cheers Martin

‘They that make nothing make no mistakes.’

It's nice to ketchup with Martin Zero.

Great Catchup...erm Ketchup

Hello Martin: I have just watched your vlog about Shooters Brook; I thought the whole vlog was magical and I admire your determination to find answers to the questions that so obviously fascinate you. Because of yourself and your team I now feel much more intimately connected to the Manchester that I knew, and loved, from 1971 to1979. Thank you so much. Pete Glyde

Nasty scrape on your left arm! Don't go sewer-pipe exploring until it is healed! - - That's a very saucy mike stand you are using!

Love the posts but we need to discuss the tomato ketchup bottle! I have so many questions!!! 😂

Nice one Martin.

Excellent. Loved it. Very unique microphone holder. Well done Martin. So much info in a small time. Great work and well thought out. Thank you.

Other brands of ketchup are available. The boats decor was classic very stylish
