The Hidden Abandoned Tunnels of a Reservoir Mystery in South Yorkshire
Back in 2021 we explored a long abandoned water transfer tunnel near the town of Conisbrough, South Yorkshire. But we never really worked out if there was other tunnels and pipelines connected to this particular tunnel.
Now after months of investigation and location visits I have pieced together and discovered so much and can show you this now.

Astounding piece of detective work there Ant. Brilliant the way you explain the whole concept of the tunnels. I really enjoyed this one yet again. They definitely get better with each new vlog. Thanks for sharing Ant.
11pm,
Just got in from work,
Heading straight to bed for this on the cans.
Nice one
🙌🏻
That is a fantastic video. The colours in those tunnels were amazing. What a beautiful area that was. Thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe
HAD ME SITTING ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. very well done young man. Thank you
Absolutely loved the moss/ ferns and wonderful colours of the tunnel you went in. You would have to pay me to go in there alone though. Also enjoyed (as usual) the wonderfully atmospheric music.
You were in the discharge chamber, the valve you can see is control or safety valve, the other with the pipe going up is a second vale which will have no bonnet but the spindle will go all the way to surface to allow wedge to be serviced. I do hope you had a gas monitor with you ? Most let off valves would be vented to allow valves to be operated. This would be the scour valve to empty, the smaller pipes at the sides would be discharged water.
Well done Ant - very good exploring - but how did you manage to get through that metal gate thou @7:10 & 7:39??? 🤔🚂🚂🚂
Absolutely amazing video Ant, the number of times ive been to Thrybergh Country Park & never knew of this tunnel or noticed anything, you make a great detective! ❤😊
Yet another fascinating video! I particularly liked the little bridge. Some friends of mine came from Thrybergh - you are pretty good with the pronunciation, but apparently one pronounces the R as well - so it is Thry Ber. Strange that all of the shafts were filled in.
Incredible brickwork, I cannot recall seeing such artistically beautiful structures.
Can't believe that was two years ago!!! More questions than answers again. Funny those mounds are still extant, obviously an order that says they must stay in situ. Another good explore Ant 👍👍👍👍
What a treat that was. Very enjoyable 30 mins. with as always a great soundtrack. Amazing finds. Thank you..all the best.
Nice one Ant. Your vlogs just keep getting better, they're very well researched with excellent narrative & soundtrack. coupled with the fact you leave no stone unturned. Look forward to next one, m8. Regards.... Urban Geeze.
another really interesting video,well done
What a great explore again, Ant! Lovely ❤️💪🏻
Thanks Frank very kind ☺️
Many thanks Ant, just love these mystery walks of yours, amazing scenery. You take care..
Thanks for watching Christine very kind
That ladder still had the price tag on it, it was so new.
What a fab explore. It is enthralling. What a work and research Ant. Well done. This was so interesting. Thank you.
It took a few months of visits but we got there 😁
Thanks for the mid week video today. An interesting tour for sure. Always look forward to these videos. Thank you Ant! Enjoy the week, and see you on the next. Cheers mate! 😊
Could all these culverts etc. Be anything to do with the mining that has taken place in the area,was it an attempt to remove / capture the water from the landscape as it fell before it drained into the ground below.easyer to drain it away than have to pump it from mine workings below ground,and the fresh clean water would be more useful to other industries
@@moelSiabod14334 The person to ask this would be Ant the creator of the video!
A beautiful place, and very interesting. Thanks.
Thanks very much John
Very interesting and well presented.
Very kind thanks very much
Thanks love your content
Very kind thank you so much ☺️
Interesting explore, lots to see and think about 👍
Thanks very much for watching
Thanks Ant!!
I hope you are using a gas monitor? My job used to be a CCTV engineer, locating our waterways for Severn Trent.
Nice one, thanks
Thanks for watching Angela
Martin & James...? Martin Zero? Good lads! Makes sense you are buddies with them
You missed the rain gauge. It was a copper funnel on top of the pipe
I did see it I chopped it out with a load of other stuff it was getting too long
Amazing engineering behind the reservoir, I guess this site was victorian era? It gives me submechanophobia just looking down the outflow chamber & hearing that tricklet of water near fence/gate. Great video mate...
Very interesting Ant.👍
Thanks very much for watching David
Big pipes underground are especially spooky. I love the soundtrack @8:01
Very interesting. Since this pipeline moves away from the Don Valley, could it be going to the reservoire at Clifton (small village south of Conisbrough). This looks like it is an underground reservoire, but has it always been so? Next to what looks like a large concrete area (from Google Maps) on the south side of Clifton Village is an area of ground that looks overgrown. It is next to a radio mast. (OS Landranger Map 111 ref. 519963). Might be worth checking out. I haven't done a topography map of the area based on the contour lines, but it might hold a clue. Keep up the good work!
nice one love the creep music
Cheers Darren thanks for watching
Cool tunnel
Thanks for watching
Really interesting Ant, any ideas when it was abandoned?
Unsure to be honest probably around the time the reservoir was taken out of use
it was a rain gauge mate, the copper pipe.
Ahhhh cheers mate
At 5:06 yep that's exactly what it is.
If you search for Benjamin Shaw Brundell you'll find quite a bit about one of those remarkable engineers of the Victorian period. 1825-1897.
The things in the feilds air air ducts theres an old map 1949 of rotherham which shows them I've a screen shot but can't post it here
Looking at old maps the northern tunnel looks to head to an explosive works with a reservoir so could be a feed for that? The other I will look at but seems to flow downhill away from the reservoir on first glance…
Have you just sent some maps? 🙂
I have mate. Found you on insta. Love the old engineering and tracing it. I mainly use maps or google. Sometimes I’ll go ride and find it.
Interesting stuff. Keep up the good work
It's so obvious what this was.
Once again evidence of older and newer brickwork.
echoes of Stephen King's IT at 8:48
It is a little creepy
Shame about the excessively loud music.
It really is
once again ant you open the proverbial can of worms,answers on a postcard lol
It's so true 😂
More Hydro turbine installations.
If I made a video about custard oozing through the holes of a Belgian Waffle you'd say it was hydro related
@@TrekkingExploration I say what I see.. & I see a Hydro Power Station.
@@F4Insight-uq6nt I can see trees. Water. A few clouds. Stonework and a dusting of dew within natural surroundings. Please keep the comments coming we like reading them. It also boost's viewership
@@TrekkingExploration All about the money.. The Money and the Disinfo.
@@F4Insight-uq6nt proof of claims required
If it helps in the future
I believe the yokels pronounce it

People talk about underground tunnels. Is there any other sort lol
Yes ofc there are. A tunnel is simply a covered way, such as a “tunnel” under a building. It says nothing about whether or not it’s above the ground surface or under it.
It should show you on 1 of those old maps on national library of scotland where the pipe goes
I wish it had been that simple but unfortunately not 😞
@@TrekkingExploration I live in Westhoughton just next to bolton and I found a doorway on the side of an old railway bank that had acces to a big room underneath the tracks, it has 2 giant pipes running straight through it going back into the ground on ether side so looked it up on national libary of Scotland maps and turns out it's thirlmere aqueduct, the uks biggest underground aqaduct (95 miles long), takes water from thirlmere reservoir all the way to Manchester. Its shows as a thin dotted line on the map you can follow it all the way up and can even see all the valves and other access points. It's abit nerdy but so interesting 😂 keep up the vids 👍
@@adam.677 blimey I bet that's amazing to see
@@TrekkingExploration they are at least 4 feet wide each pipe, it's unreal 😂
