- Hello! Eh Up! And how ya Diddlin!? In this weeks video, we’re going in search of the the breathtaking engineered remains of an 18th century industrial masterpiece, on the Derbyshire/Cheshire border, not to far from Stockport. This industrial masterpiece known as Mellor Mill, or Oldknows Mill, is a breathtaking example of late 18th century engineering. This site is incredible! It truly is. Me and Steve were like a couple of kids in a toy shop looking at this place!
Anyway, I really hope you enjoy this weeks video, below is a couple of useful links, including a video the Martin Zero made here a couple of years back
I hope you enjoy the video, cheers, Steve ❤️

Glad you liked the place 😉👍
Cheers Martin. After watching your video back, I was gutted when I realised that wellington wheel was carved into the rock. I’m gonna go back up soon. I really want to find the end of the tail race going beneath the Goyt. That was a feat of engineering in itself.
That were beyond words Steve (and Steve), an amazing place which I'll definitely be having a look at some day, just to take in the immensity of it all. Just imagine if the mill was still standing!
When that was being constructed the whole place must have been absolutely swarming with people, each doing their bit. None of them would have ever believed it would still be there over 200 years later.
Thanks lads as ever. The work that goes into these videos is much appreciated
Cheers mate. My mind was working overtime here! Unbelievable place. I e actually gotta go back
That place is epic. Great work guys.
Cheers Gaz. I’ve actually gotta go back.
Good Video Steve,
What an impressive place!! The mill must have been enormous back in the day. It really makes you wonder how they managed to construct it and bring the necessary materials to the location. The shaft that would have attatched the water wheel is of some great length and the tunnels were amazing. This really was a great explore...😃👍🏻
Thank you Eddie. What I didn’t say in the video is that apparently bricks were made on site, and stone was brought from close by
cheers guys loved the video.
Thank you I’m pleased you enjoyed it!
Fantastic! Love the excitement and enthusiasm - and can absolutley relate to it! And I’m with you on the questioning the history we’re offered sometimes. (Totally not with you with spiders being dropped on my head though - eek!) Those tunnels were quite eerie. These old mills must have seen some things… Great way to enjoy a Sunday evening - thank you both!
Thank you Clair. These places definitely need questioning. Question everything I reckon! As for spiders, they don’t bother me at all, however if we were in Australia I’d probably have a different opinion lol
Imagine the noise of that place in its prime 🤯 amazing bit of history 👌👍
I know right! I’m always walking round these places imagining that stuff.
Absolutely amazing, what a place. Thanks for taking us on your adventures. I look forward to the weekends to see what wonderful history you have uncovered.
Thank you very much. This place is stunning. I’m pleased you look forward to watching my videos.
Blimey Steve what a place, I watched it twice just to try to get my head around it. A brilliant nosey and its super good how you always piece all the information together in your video editing. Once again Well done.
Thank you Chris! We may actually have to go back soon. I think you messaged me on instagram the other day, but by accident I deleted it, a typo I think they call it.
Interesting place fellas, Top bloke is martin zero 👍😎
Cheers mate. I’ve been watching him for years. He’s done loads up there that ide love to gawp at!
@@LeiceExplore yeh brilliant channel to watch
Hi mate, outstanding video, never gets old to see stonework and like you I wonder what did it take to build this 🤔, cheers mate 👍
Thank you very much. I know right? I often think we’re fibbed to about how they were built, because it doesn’t make sense sometimes. Thanks for watching.
Absolute gold that one Steve, just couldn't be done today could it. There must have been plenty of dosh around in them days!
Thank you mate. Yeah I reckon Oldknow spent it all on this mill haha
Ay up , just wanted to say decent of you to reply , wasn’t expecting that , nice one chap 🫡
I’m a Leicester lass & still always exploring ,
as I did with my kids before they grew into adults & now they do the same with their young’uns .
Only just stumbled across your videos & I think they are great & fascinating stuff .
Love your energy & enthusiasm.
Keep searching unbelievable what’s out there still to be found .
Defo going to recommend your channel to everyone I know .
Thank you for the loveleh comment! I reckon exploring is why we’re here, I’d much sooner do this than be chained to the alarm clock and go work! Thank you for watching the videos, it’s very much appreciated. I’ve been sticking my nose into things since I was a teen, I love sharing my love of this stuff.
I'm liking the stuff you do.Thanks🎉
Thank you Don! Plenty more on the way. Thanks for watching my videos, it’s much appreciated.
You really do get excited and it's a wonder that you all aren't walking around with hard ons , just saying . Another great video Steve
@@steveo9537 how do you know we aint lol! (We don’t) well I don’t anyway haha! Cheers mate
Bloomin marvellous Steve 👌A great watch for a Sunday evening 👍
It's hard to conceive of the engineering required to turn a natural resource into a powerful production plant such ss this.
Some of those tunnels don't make sense though 🤔
Not keen on spiders, but fortunately my phone's screen is quite small, so I couldn't see em 🙏
Thank you very much! Yeah some nice false widows down there haha! They don’t bother me, although if there were tarantulas then I would be a bit bothered then lol! No, they don’t make sense some of them! Thanks for watching
looks like someone's been in the gym 💪
I’ve certainly got my act together the last 10 months. Running, Rucking, kettle bell workouts body weight workouts, at home. And changed my diet. Oh and I’ve completely the given up the booze over a year ago. Thanks for watching
Wonderful Steve, If I have any more running ladies tell me how wonderful you are looking right now, sort of tell's you why those subscriptions are going up!
Cheers Lord Beers! Well, this man is very happy with his lady. Together nearly 20 years dontcha know! But yes, it’s nice to see the channel growing more now mate.
