Hi Martin, great to see you on this side of the pennines in my old stomping ground, you did well to explore it in one go. I spent several days down there, going a bit further each visit, and remembering all the deep pools and slippy bits as I spent hours light painting, trying to get the perfect photograph Still unbelievable that this magnificent structure lies hidden under the streets of Sheffield, and thanks for giving me a mention, appreciate that, all the best with your future explores.....Pat
Hello Pat great to hear from you. Yes this was very much inspired by you and your videos. I think you did a better job as you got in the other end as well and had a boat. Also love your light painting, great results. We just took a few snaps. All the best Martin 👍🏼
@@MartinZero Patrick was my inspiration for visiting this amazing place,Mind you least you didn't destroy a £3000 Nikon camera by getting it wet here !
The stones sticking out of the walls at 29:07 are corbels, and would have supported the timber frame over which the bricks were laid to make the culvert. Smashing film, you are at your best in the water in tunnels. 👍
Kudos to Martin & Crew for darn-near risking their lives by exploring these places while we sit at home nursing a coffee and enjoying the presentation! Thumbs up.
I could tell this wasn't a wholly happy experience, Martin - a smattering of 'choice' language. Good that you sped up parts of the journey. The bald fella, of the 2 walking the other way, is RUclipsr The Bald Yorkshireman.
Wow ! Great video Martin. Thanks again for risking life and limb, getting wet, knackering your back up and worse still, being in Yorkshire 😝, for our entertainment. Keep up the great work.
At least you started with a decent coffee!!!! A touch of the old Medlock days with this one. Fantastic to see all that hidden brick/stonework, outfalls and arches - much more interesting underground. 👍🏻❤
At 9:03 it's amazing to see the different stages of construction, the old, the very old and the Mega old. This must have been a tuff adventure as I have never heard the word "shit" so many times, LOL. The stone and brickwork is amazing, can't say much for the spray concrete. This was a great watch, it was almost 37 minutes but went by so fast. What a great team, missed James. Martin it seems you have a very enjoyable life..... Stay safe and stay strong........
Fab vid Mart, Those arches and that little channel looked awesome, but clearly challenging! Where the rivers meet, that chamber looks huge! The chamber where the trams went over was awesome and the arches on the way to it.
Magnificent. Thank you, again, Martin. As explained I'm behind with my viewing. Thanks also to your fellow intrepid explorers. I only wish I was 50 years younger and lived in the area that you explore.
Such a good explore, thank you for being the crazy man who does this on our behalf. I can spend hours watching you wade through crap for the benefit of my enjoyment. Seriously though, it's a big thing producing these films so all credit to you for doing it for us to enjoy.
Great video, ive decided to volunteer for sheaf and porter trusts hidden river tours and had my first trip down today and did 2 tours, learnt a few things from this, very interesting, thanks!
@@MartinZero yeah was good, much better when theres a few people, makes it abit easier in the deeper areas near the megatron and they pointed out all the areas to watch out for
You mentioned it at least twice Martin where people above were looking down wondering what you were doing standing in the river! But that is just it, while the world above goes about it's busy, hectic, mostly meaningless existence, there are intrepid folks like yourselves who wonder about the old pathways and side streets with an eye for history. If we're honest, your heart wasn't really into this explore 100% but we are glad you persevered and saw it through. History was once again made alive, Thank You!
The train journey went through some awesome scenery by the looks, I thought Martin was mad taking the train instead but it looks a lovely relaxing trip.
Mr Zero: Nought wrong with trains. We should have more of them and less road traffic. I'll tell you that for nothing so put your wallet away. Exits though sewer outlet. Fade to brown.
@@MartinZero pat did a couple of videos and went in from both sides .😂😂 Can't remember if he took a dinghy or something but probably cooked dehydrated squirrel
I’m looking at the trains so very comfortable and modern a big change from what l remember in 1959 before l moved to U S A love your videos so much history and enjoyable to watch
Hi Martin just watched your Video with Trekking and Towpaths , Fand your Version a lot better, dont tell him;).Thanks again mate . Keep them coming always a pleasure to watch . Your Nr1 Fans Deano from Hamburg Germany
Fantastic. I must say Martin I am in awe of all those men who built that whole underground system. What a feat. I am also in awe of you and your mates for doing this explore and sharing it with us. Thank you so much. Look forward to next one.
Hi. Watched Ant's video yesterday. I've just watched yours: really enjoyed your Mancunian bluntness! 😂 Thanks for another interesting walk in a place I'm glad to have seen but much happier that it was you lads and not me down there! 👍
Enjoy watching your work Martin....I live near Portsmouth so years ago explored old bunkers in Portsdown hill before they were sealed...Never had phones or maps..Only Torches!! Great stuff...Subbed!
Please do leeds station under the dark archs rumour has it the old Victoria entrance is still there and yorkshire rivers are like that full of hidden holes and all rivers in uk are polluted as water companies are still dumping waste in them
The picture at the exit of the Megatron was really helpful in explaining what it is and where it was as well. Especially for people that aren't from the UK or haven't seen the area! If you can, keep doing that for the future.
That looked gruelling, Martin. Loved the sight of the old bridges culverted over. Great presentation. You really are the consumate professional these days, martin.🇯🇪
Wonderful explanation, exploration and key illustrations to understand where the river is and what the images are of. Just found your channel, definitely worth a sub! Absolutely smashing
I watched Ant’s release of this a couple of days ago and now yours. They compliment each other well as you each have your own presentational and historical styles.
@@MartinZero loads I just done a Google image search some great photos It unbelievable what's under ground Apparently town where I live there's a tunnel leads from Bridlington priory to a little bridge on a roman road called Wold Gate and were ann Berlin hid so the story goes
brings back good memories going down here as a student in Sheffield. I went from porter brook on shadow vale road, all the way under the ground to the Megatron :-) cheers for the vid
Hello Martin, just watched again the Megatron video, I get annoyed that these beautiful rivers are culverted over, but I dare say without the culverting they probably wouldn't exist (as we know them) or we would be oblivious to them. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant as always Martin, I said on Ants channel, you must have walked miles, he said you were down there 4 hours, good job he knew where he was going.
Martin zero love love loving Yr videos, iv become a bit obssessd... Don't do TV no more I'm rapidly working my way through them , u r so fab pls continue 😊
Another unexpected bonus, Martin! This was awesome! Didn't fancy the crawling along on your belly part! Good ambient music too, he's good, that Dean is!
Brilliant stuff engineering and construction when done right over 100 years ago and still strong enough,, concrete spray to reinforce the washed out cement joints,, have to watch yourself down those places,, great show ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️from Northern Ireland 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great Video and explore, It's amazing to think how many bricks/stones were used in the construction of these underground tunnels. It's also weird to think that every person that touched one of these bricks was a navvy and are long gone but not forgotten...😃👍
Hi Martin. Another bottler. Thanks also to your mates. Who would guess all of that was going on beneath the traveller's feet as they stood on Sheffield Station. The historical photos and the maps were once again excellent. I tracked it on Google Maps as you went. The 1890 (I think it was) map was interesting showing how the Sheaf opened out as it joined the Don. It also showed a slaughterhiuse on tbe banks of the Don. I can imagine where the discarded material went. Thanks again.
Great vid Martin & Co. I've been on the map looking at the area where the Sheaf and the Don meet and that old map of you showed of it being open. There are 2 old buildings on the old map that sit above S and T in street (Exchange Street) and above Castlefolds Market, small lane sits between them and are the only 2 left standing. Both have interesting frontage features. I could go on and on the differences from old map to now map!
So happy to see you do this one! It's still my favourite culverts I've explored. There's more to the porter brook the other direction. But glad you went to the start point of the Sheaf, it's deffo worth it!
I can't be the only one thinking of baldurs gate Thanks for these videos. For those of us who are both too afraid as well as not able to see things like this where we love. (US here).
Just down road from me in Barnsley! Sheffield is an amazing hub for adventure, hope to see you in Barnsley! Great vid, great narrative. God blesss mate🙏
Really interesting Martin the brick work in some places was lovely, must of been deafening with that water I must admit I don't like water in the dark so respect Martin. Thanks again cheers!
Martin, please give yourself a big pat on the back, your standard and quality of video is outstanding I’ve watch some of the channels you have suggested and only one comes near your standard and only near. To watch a channel it has to flow it has to make sense and whatever your showing needs a point. Ok I’m going to stop there and do sweet and short ( 😂🤣😂). I love your channel I look forward to Sunday’s and have never failed to enjoy what you have to show us. Fantastic enjoyed another video of yours.

Please do something together you are both awesome !

Hahahaha...that was all asesome to see, and you were funny, thank you so much Martin, Loved the old bits. Love Roos 🙋🏻♀️🌹🤗👍🏻💪🏻
Thanks Roos great explore I enjoyed it 🤔
@@MartinZero I am happy for you thanks have a nice day 😜😁
Wow ! Great video Martin. Thanks again for risking life and limb, getting wet, knackering your back up and worse still, being in Yorkshire 😝, for our entertainment. Keep up the great work.
I agree: Patrick makes all his endeavours in and around Sheffield look like nice pleasant adventures! I am addicted to his content.
Great video! Thanks for mentioning Patrick Dickinson, you are both excellent explorers.
At least you started with a decent coffee!!!! A touch of the old Medlock days with this one. Fantastic to see all that hidden brick/stonework, outfalls and arches - much more interesting underground. 👍🏻❤
Another cracking video Martin. 👍👍
Thanks very much Chris
My knees are sore just watching you lads go through that tunnel on your haunches.
My legs were mega aching the next day
@@MartinZero it'll keep you fit.
I know Sheffield well, but I've never been under it.
Another great video - smashed it of the list - I do miss James your chemistry is great! maybe the last drain trip spooked him judging from his face
He wanted to come but had commitments
At 9:03 it's amazing to see the different stages of construction, the old, the very old and the Mega old.

Yeah James bottled it. Cheers Mike
Mega Trash last week, Megatron this week. Really excellent stuff Martin, Ant and Julian. That looked none too easy!
Cheers Mike, yeah a difficult walk in places
Fab vid Mart, Those arches and that little channel looked awesome, but clearly challenging!
Where the rivers meet, that chamber looks huge!
The chamber where the trams went over was awesome and the arches on the way to it.
Yeah it was great to finally se it after watching videos on it
Superb video Martin. Next time I'm at Sheffield Station I will think of this undoubtedly
Amazing engineering, wonderful video Martin
Great collaboration with Ant. Two great channels. Love it.
Thanks Rob
You've got balls to make that journey. Well done, Martin & team.
Mega! Enjoyed that. What a fantastic structure hidden from view beneath the streets, subterranean history alive and still working.
Magnificent. Thank you, again, Martin. As explained I'm behind with my viewing. Thanks also to your fellow intrepid explorers. I only wish I was 50 years younger and lived in the area that you explore.
Love the picture in Megatron with the brickwork arch and the small man standing in the background. Glad you brought your waders.
Such a good explore, thank you for being the crazy man who does this on our behalf. I can spend hours watching you wade through crap for the benefit of my enjoyment. Seriously though, it's a big thing producing these films so all credit to you for doing it for us to enjoy.
Great Video Martin,Thank God For The Stick 👍👍
Yeah I almost didnt take it

Thank you Martin for another rivetting explore by three mad Young men !!

Yeah it was a good decision to be honest

Fade to brown.
It's "lovely and relaxing" now the Pacers have gone!
Nice work Martin: got a cramp in my neck just watching the footage in the low sections! It'd be terrifying down there after a big downpour...
10:42 I also watched Pat's Megatron video a while ago. It was worth every minute too!
love that video Pat is such a legend
Yeah Pat went in from the other side
@@MartinZero pat did a couple of videos and went in from both sides .😂😂 Can't remember if he took a dinghy or something but probably cooked dehydrated squirrel

Thanks for this Martin, Ant and Jeff. Really good to see.
Great video Martin, very interesting thank you.
Cracking adventure in Yorkshire Martin. Best from Madrid.

Sunday nights are Martin Zero nights!
Absolutely brilliant stuff!
Thanks very much Ellie
Brilliant video Martin. I'm watching on the TV and just noticed the spider crawling down your jacket at 9:18 🙈
Thanks for the guided tour !
Impressive structures just below the streets.
Actually it is even more impressive when you think about how old it is.
A canoe would be a better choice just a thought, love the history and adventuring around Britain keep it up martin
Bit of a bugger to carry down there John
Superb video Martin and amazing engineering of da time👍👌
Martin you are amazing! I absolutely love watching your cinematographic adventures/productions.
Thanks very much Adam
What a tour! So many layers of history in each of those tunnels!
Yeah great to see that old bridges
Great explore Martin many thanks.
Please do leeds station under the dark archs rumour has it the old Victoria entrance is still there and yorkshire rivers are like that full of hidden holes and all rivers in uk are polluted as water companies are still dumping waste in them

Thanks Ruud
Wonderful explanation, exploration and key illustrations to understand where the river is and what the images are of. Just found your channel, definitely worth a sub!

Great video as usual. Complemented Ant's video perfectly. That chamber was vast, like a manmade cave.
Back to your normal habitat!! Thanks for posting.
I watched Ant’s release of this a couple of days ago and now yours. They compliment each other well as you each have your own presentational and historical styles.
Well done all of you,that was quite involved blimey ... Funny to think they buried all that history to build a station.
UK is very beautiful country.
Cool explore thanks for sharing
That was great Martin. Amazing infrastructure holding up the railway station.
Great video Martin some of the brick work is brilliant
Imagine how many bricks in the Megatron arch

I seem to remember Pat got about as far as you did but then came back with his kayak and went in from the River Don end.
Yeah he did. I would love to do that
Another great video Martin

Absolutely superb Martin 👍

Brilliant as always Martin, I said on Ants channel, you must have walked miles, he said you were down there 4 hours, good job he knew where he was going.
Yeah got in about half 9 out about 2 ish maybe later

Stunning engineering.
What amazes me, isn't how it was built or the quality of the engineering. It's the people who inevitably go down there to maintain it!
