Omg! Martin we love you here in Peru. We make our popcorn and gather together and watch your videos. You always make us laugh and we are as excited as if we are by your side. Thank you, thank you , thank you for your bravery and curiosity and good humor!
The fungus was one of the ink caps. Spectacular. Really enjoying your videos Martin. Local girl, from Longsight now but originally from Ashton - Under - Lyne, so of course I loved old mills and canals and railways. This was my childhood.
This channel is just so good. It's a bit like a grass roots "Time Team". Well, Time Team up through season 18. I love how there is the perfect amount of content in each video and none of it unnecessary fluff. Great research, great videography and both are put together with excellent presentation. From what this American boy has seen, you're right up there with Fred Dibnah, Dr. Lucy Worsley and Tony Robinson in the presentation department.
hopper1 its exactly what got my attention, I found this vid on recomendations, But damn this stuff is better than most of NGC or discovery channel, Almost if I went there and he was the guide
"Up through season 18", spot on. That wonderful show tanked after that. The new "stars" were awful. None of the otiginal cast were all showbizzy, just regular people with a passion for what they were doing. Shame they ruined it.
I dont comment on videos often but Thank You for covering our history the way you do. You a brilliant creator Sir. Also your videos have now got a perfect production value. Your the best quality explorer on youtube now.
The reason for the two levels in the tunnel was for gravity shunting of the full wagons on the higher level, before being lowered downn the incline. The next section to Chadwick Nick was also cable worked before being converted to locomotive haulage, as the gradient was relatively shallow, 1 in 53 to 1 in 30 then 1 in 22.. A loco shed still exists further along the line before VillageTunnel. Track for the line may have come second hand from the Leicester and Swannington Railway. The last rails lifted from Crich went to the Talyllyn Railway.
The stonework at 28.45 on the top of the inside of the tunnel is something to be proud of , my Grampa was a stone mason that criticised a lot of modern brickwork but I`m sure he would`ve given that a big thumbs up , fantastic stuff
Why is it I always click like before I even watch your vids? I am never disappointed. Cheers Martin. Wow, Stevenson's tunnel is amazing, "No Roads" sign on the strut. Brilliant.
I'm glad to see you partnered up with the Whitewicks. I've been watching your videos as well as theirs too! I'm subscribed to both of your channels. I love to see things about history, and mostly railroads. Whatever country they're in doesn't matter to me.
As a Canadian who loves things like these. You people should band together and open this old railway as a walking / biking path. How cool would it be to motor along England's oldest railway? I just love how all through out your beautiful country, you have the common sense to hold on to your past, your heritage. Your beautiful old everything. Such charm and beauty.
Another great Video Martin . I know this may seem like an unusual question, but if there was ever a project that you would like to undertake but it would take an Archeological team, Like Time Team, to help you what would it be be.?
Of all the videos I have seen, finding that one in someone's back garden must be the best find ever. The tunnel itself looks in particularly good condition. Have you been able to research where the other portal is? That would be a cracking find, and one to explore in the future. I know that I am late to this party, but I am slowly working my way through your back catalogue. Excellent stuff.
Oh, wow. I am gobsmacked. I've watched this on both channels now, but even then I was not expecting the view inside the tunnel. It's got to be decades since anyone went inside. And after all this time it still looks so clean and sharp. Like time stood still.
Loving your vids Martin! Seriously gripping stuff! Just find myself getting irritated at beautiful and historically important old architecture breeze-blocked up and left to rot! Smash out the late brickwork, trim back the foliage and clean these beauties up!
They are blocked because they are bat roosts. If people were allowed access then the bats would be gone and the walls covered quickly in graffiti, sadly.
I know about stuff like the mill at Compton, even been there, but they never taught us about 18th century blocked up tunnels in Derbyshire back gardens at school. Can't think why. Yet again, utterly fascinating and fantastically presented. A wonderful walk through the remains of a corner of the proto-industrial age. Thank you for sharing this grand day out.
Ideally it should be opened up with the roughly-hewn section shored-up like a mine-adit as it was originally, then securely gated so tours could be conducted safely. Surely that's the best way to preserve them instead of leaving those tunnels blocked off or buried with maybe just a plaque or markings on an old map to tell us where they once existed!
Wow another quality expedition ! Those two main tunnels were amazing , what a shame rather 1st one is buried . So kind of the home owners to let you in as you may never have got to see them , thanks guys 👌🏼🧱👍🏼🚂
Another top-notch video thanks for showing us these hidden gems Martin 👍Derbyshire council have so many hidden historical gems it's crazy why the hell aren't they preserving them so much amazing history our history
Wonderful team effort, well done all of you. Derbyshire is a treasure trove of forgotten tramways and inclined planes. Fascinating to see these remnants. (And killer mushrooms too!) Thank ypu Martin.
The worlds oldest railway bridge, the Causey Arch is up here in County Durham Martin, built in 1726/27, chaldrons of coal were drawn by horses on wooden rails, It's a fantastic structure...Allen.
That was a really cool episode man, a true Howard Carter moment in the tunnel...really does deserve more than burying a forgetting this is incredibly important architecture with fantastic history...nice one Martin
I believe the toadstool in the tunnel is a Shaggy Ink Cap, Coprinus Comatus. Also, the two levels on the road bed may have been to accommodate loaded and empty wagons.
Thought exactly the same thing about wagons being empty on the higher track, with the loaded ones being piled high with ore on the lower level coming from the mine/quarry!
Is that the toadstool that contains Monomethylhydrazine ? NASA needed trillions of them to power the space shuttle engines, apparently. Its very very toxic ! Keep well away unless you really do want to leave the planet !
What an incredible find. Never knew about this. Very interesting and no doubt the forerunner of the railways we have today. Well done to all for bringing this piece of history to the public domain. 10/10
Just started watching and already I'm thinking, "Martin, et al, need hardhats for this type of poking into dark holes, etc.!!" I am really looking forward to the rest of it : )
That shot at 19:42 as you look into that tunnel and the focus slowly pulls to reveal the inside is one of the greatest I've ever seen! The remnants of the track bed/sleepers and disrepair; something so fascinating about it. To think of Stephenson himself could've stood at that portal looking in on a job well done when construction was finished. Amazing video.
Benjamin Outram. It's in the name. 23:45 "found" a gate. LOL. It would've been pretty frustrating to get stopped right there. 26:55 who else thought it was a small figure sitting?
Wow loving this Chanel my dad was a steam driver and a Diesel driver to he did 49 years on the railway bless him I’ve got quite a lot of stories that you told me and I’d love to share them with you 😘
Back to an evening viewing with Martin Zero.Great actually as you are better than TV and the videos 'i've missed are great .👍 Great filming & info The camera in the tunnel produced great images ..Clever work .A fabulous day out ....Like
I really like when you team up with the Whitewicks! Sharing history with enthusiasm ! I wonder how long its been since anyone saw inside or has been in that tunnel! They should make the tramway and tunnels a walking trail! Preserve and use history!
Colin amazing programme. The history is worthy of some kind of heritage taking them over for future generations . Thank you so much to you all for doing the investigating for us.
Brilliant, I really enjoyed your forage into the wilds of Derbyshire ! Derbyshire and Staffordshire are chock full of industrial reamains ! On the other side of the Derwent Valley from Crich was the High Peak Mineral Line, that went from Cromford to Whalley Bridge, it had 3 inclined planes worked by cable and didn't close until 1968. I can even remember wagons going up the Sheep Pasture incline as if by magic with no engine pulling them when we went for a picnic by the line in about 1965
If I owned those houses, I'd open the tunnels up to use the space and preserve the original look. I couldn't let it disappear into undergrowth like that.
Hi Martin & Mark, wow what an episode, I never knew that George Stephenson did so much more than he is already famous for. Such an awesome video, thank you for sharing it with us all. x
Thanks to you and the Whitewicks, brilliant stuff. Could never have gone down that tiny hole to 'God knows where' . You were so funny when you encountered that mushroom, it did look weird though. There is the Hay Inclined Plane in Blists Hill museum near Telford it lowered canal boats down from the canal to the River Severn. Interesting place to visit for anyone who loves industrial heritage. 👍👍
Brilliant film and narrative. I'm always gobsmacked by the sheer number of bricks used in building canals and railways.. Each individually hand laid. Phenomenal production and logistics, let alone the craftsmanship
Im happy that someone is documenting this and getting it on "film" before all these things get forgotten. We might not yet have all the building plans for all this but maybe there is someone who has them ln their attic without knowing what they are before seeing your videos. keep up the great work.
There was a horse powered plateway - all underground - Pentewan near St Austell in a tin working in 1783. In 1803 at Penydarren Iron Works in South Wales Trevithick demonstrated the 1st railway locomotive
I wondered this too. If the tunnel entrance is on your land but the tunnel itself isn't. Do you own it or does the other land owner own it as the tunnel runs through their property?
@@RAFchurchlawford4469 she did indeed scare Martin and Me! We had no idea what she was so avoided. Turns out she was harmless. As for the miniskirt, that is 50% of Whitewicks Abandoned railways. Come and join the party!
It was great to see you in my old local area. And although I'm well travelled I didn't really know this history before I watched this and the Whitewicks video a few years ago. I think a slightly older tramway is the Little Eaton gangroad. I wonder how old that 'no road ' sign is? And thanks for pronouncing Crich correctly. Happy New Year.
Here I am, sitting in my living room in North Carolina, watching you do these absolutely fascinating explores in and around Manchester that I CANNOT stop watching! The finds are riveting to me and all I want to go is go along and find these things too!!
Only one thing to say - You've done it again! BRILLIANT. The subject, the location, the history, the presentation and the production. Well done, Martin.
I love this content so much. It is such a wonderful escapism for me and a world of difference to my own RUclips content. I loved every minute of it. If I find myself in the UK I would like to partake in one of your videos as well if that's OK by you! Keep up the great content!
Another great video , half expected someone or something to be looking back at us in the second tunnel 😱. Thanks to you all for a good bit of Sunday evening entertainment.
Oh great, it's Sunday evening and I get to watch the two best You Tubers all rolled into one fantastic vid. Great British countryside, nice tinkly soundtrack and loads of forgotten and hidden history. Wouldn't you just want to get in and clear that undergrowth, flight test the brieze blocks and open those tunnels up for all to see, what is wrong with us, bloody H & S!!!! Thanks Martin for getting dirty, even better that it was Mr Stephenson who made you do it!!!! Thanks also to the accommodating residents.
O My goodness. This vlog is incredible. Well done to all concerned. The research is amazing the finds unique. The shot of the ladybird is astonishing. The maps, the adventure, the history and the excitement. What a grand day out! Martin just thank you so much for taking me along :D Sharing this straightaway!
Yet another fascinating video conveying information, insight and above all your infectious enthusiasm. This little gem has to rank up with the Williamson tunnel videos you did. Brilliant. Thank You.
I always click the like button first before watching as I know I will not be disappointed with Martin's vids....................... never have so far. Well done.
Thank you yet again Martin for making my curious mind so content. As always it is great to have The Whtewicks along,and welcome Marc! It would be the coolest thing in the world to me when I am in Manchester later in year to do something like this,. Granted getting everyone together might be a task,but it would be an honor to learn and just chill with people of similar mind. Marc is definitely hooked,good to see it mate!
Love it ... when you put your camera through that small hole in the breeze blocks into Stephenson's tunnel it was just as exciting as Howard Carter/Tutankhamun to me! Wonderful ...
It’s amazing, what’s still is left and is to see of this important period in England, very nice video again and nice to see the cooperation again with the Whitewicks!
That was stunning view of an older life! Wow!! It is fascinating what lies in the wilds of Derbyshire! I really enjoyed this! thanks so much! Keep it all going please!!
Omg! Martin we love you here in Peru. We make our popcorn and gather together and watch your videos. You always make us laugh and we are as excited as if we are by your side.

It's a part of the Tanfield Railway.
Thanks for all these very interesting and educational videos.
Thank you Robert
Looks like a Fungi called Ink Cap , Martin . Thanks for the video , great work .
Thanks Richard, strange thing it is
Ink caps are usually pale buff in colour until they are opened up, this one looks altogether more sinister.
That was a really cool episode man, a true Howard Carter moment in the tunnel...really does deserve more than burying a forgetting this is incredibly important architecture with fantastic history...nice one Martin
I agree Davis those tunnels are hidden gems
I believe the toadstool in the tunnel is a Shaggy Ink Cap, Coprinus Comatus. Also, the two levels on the road bed may have been to accommodate loaded and empty wagons.
Thanks very much. 👍
Thought exactly the same thing about wagons being empty on the higher track, with the loaded ones being piled high with ore on the lower level coming from the mine/quarry!
Is that the toadstool that contains Monomethylhydrazine ? NASA needed trillions of them to power the space shuttle engines, apparently. Its very very toxic ! Keep well away unless you really do want to leave the planet !
Agree - defo an Inkcap

H & S!!!! Thanks Martin for getting dirty, even better that it was Mr Stephenson who made you do it!!!! Thanks also to the accommodating residents.
O My goodness. This vlog is incredible. Well done to all concerned. The research is amazing the finds unique. The shot of the ladybird is astonishing. The maps, the adventure, the history and the excitement. What a grand day out! Martin just thank you so much for taking me along :D Sharing this straightaway!
Thank you very much Les 👍
Yet another fascinating video conveying information, insight and above all your infectious enthusiasm. This little gem has to rank up with the Williamson tunnel videos you did. Brilliant. Thank You.
Another really interesting video! You provide us with knowledge that we would never normally get to know. Loving it!!
Again stunning and compelling research into the history that is all around us Martin, good to see you with the Whitewicks again. cheers ken

Yet another AWESOME Martin Zero video, I'm envious of the history you have to explore. Please keep them coming.
Thanks John
Thank you yet again Martin for making my curious mind so content. As always it is great to have The Whtewicks along,and welcome Marc! It would be the coolest thing in the world to me when I am in Manchester later in year to do something like this,. Granted getting everyone together might be a task,but it would be an honor to learn and just chill with people of similar mind. Marc is definitely hooked,good to see it mate!
Thanks very much Andrew
Love it ... when you put your camera through that small hole in the breeze blocks into Stephenson's tunnel it was just as exciting as Howard Carter/Tutankhamun to me! Wonderful ...
It was a bit like that 😃
