The dam is visible on the later 25 Inch and OS 1:10,000 maps of the area and would've been built between 1896 and 1915 The small concrete structures you were looking at were never submerged as the reservoir was to the west of the dam with a couple of smaller reservoirs downstream from them. I would assume (as they have no text next to them on the map) that they were probably related to the outflow of the dam. Really cool video!
Thanks, yes, the video came out a little early, it wouldn't let me respond until I'd knocked it live again this evening. Yes, eventually, will be little that remains intact.
I always find it incredible what lies beneath our feet. We live near old pits in Yorkshire & there must be mine tunnels & workings deep under our house. That is one stunning walk Steve, very interesting tunnels too. I think those round brown ball shape are iron balls, I've see the same on Staithes beach where there are tunnels for old mine workings.looking forward to part 2! ❤😊👍
Yes, have to agree, I have the maps of the workings beneath there, it's vast. Yes, Peter has put up a video looking at those formations in Staiths today :)
A great video and i know were this is but i will never tell as its best left alone and were i live there lots of drift and i was out shooting and to please take care as there is shafts and i found one very deep shaft
Wait, what day is it today? How long have I been asleep? Really nice guys 👍 Amazing contrast from how it was then to how it is now But the odd clue hiding in plain site that it's more than a pleasant woodland walk Excellent 👌
Amazing how nature reclaims the remaining remnants of a large industrial site Good job you've documented it cos in a few years that Water Retention System is going to be "dam" hard to see
A bit of internet sleuthing and I found this too. If you use the national library of Scotland historic os side by side with modern day sat image, it's clear where the water features are.

You might not get love for your post on reddit but I already like it! I long to travel to England! It's truly a magical place
Nobody loves anything on Reddit, it’s a very strange place lol. Thanks, yes it is :)
Excellent bit of industrial archeology, sites li,e this need to be made designated monuments.
Agree, but never going to happen due to the bad condition of what remains and the cost of clearance to maintain.
Ya can't beat local knowledge .cheers .
Yes, very handy :)
A very interesting site Stephen, ain't it amazing how nature heals the scars of mankind's activities

Really interesting, I love the LiDAR, it’s fascinating to see what’s there that isn’t on maps or plans
Thanks, yes, we’ve found loads using it :)

@@UKAbandonedMineExplores fantastic, look forward to that. This is a fascinating explore so far, could be more than a part 2 maybe! 🤔
Great watch yet again, thank you guys. would you consider a trip to the ironbridge area of shropshire, steeped in history around here
Thankyou, glad you enjoyed. Yes, if there were good mines to see for travelling that distance :)
A great video and i know were this is but i will never tell as its best left alone and were i live there lots of drift and i was out shooting and to please take care as there is shafts and i found one very deep shaft
Thanks, yes, interesting area. On of the largest, deepest shafts appears in the next video.
Wait, what day is it today?
How long have I been asleep?
Really nice guys 👍
Amazing contrast from how it was then to how it is now
But the odd clue hiding in plain site that it's more than a pleasant woodland walk
Excellent 👌
Yes, I woke up for work and found that it had released by accident, had to knock it off as it wasn't even prepped. Thanks :)

Ooh very funny lol
There's tunnels in Chopwell woods of the of the coal drift .
Yes, a few things around there, some we've explored but not put out public videos, but one of our public videos was recorded in that area :)
The 1949 os map shows the damn feature
You got a link to the map?

What's known as a ventilation shaft.
the dam shows on the os 1:25000 1937
Ahh thanks, I’ll see if I can find that later, looked on the ones on the Scottish side by side site but didn’t appear :)
