Cheers for watching glad you like the vid its good people can see inside this underground river there a lot more to come from this yet will have another video from it coming soon That book is brilliant so informative Cheers simon
hello blah we are lucky were i live we have tons of old victorian brickwork sewers and culverts pt 2 of this vid is coming soon just awaiting the right weather thanks for watching
Thanks mark thanks for watching yeh in the sandstone bit it can get a little unnerving if a flash flood comes in with recent weather we took advantage of low water levels
I lived in Holly Bank Road near Greenbank Park. There is a culvert that runs into the lake, I never knew it was a river! Anyways, I remember in the mid 70's they drained the lake, there is a plug hole at the students residents end of the park, it was made of wood with a metal chain attached, I always wondered where that water went, now I know.
Just to the rear of section 1....up to about 1963ish...there was a lovely little cottage, gate house... It was then demolished. To the left of the ramp. It was the drive way to Otterspool house. Which was were the putting green used to be. Originally its drive was down the lane that now stops at the railway line and old buildings. The railway severed the drive... In early 1860s. Interesting note, that old house is reputed to have had an underground menagerie. My aunt as a girl in the 1930s remembers seeing some remains... Jehrico farm is were the council housing was built in 1962 half way along Jehrico Lane... Again my aunt remembered going there from Park Road, for milk, she said the farm was run by a not nice elderly man......
Wonderd what was behind that gate. Never knew that tributary existed. Spent many hours in sevy park old nick’s cave and greenbank park. Thanks great video mate
What about the river black which runs down underneath smithdown road and then through between the allotments at greenbank drive and briefly surfacing in a small park before going back underground and surfacing again at otterspool
That was boss lads. Do you know there is an old Otterspool Train Station, it's off that road that is unadopted with like an old station house near it. I still don't know what un-adopted road means like but its up there, you can also see it from the bridge on the main road. Well done lads.
@@g2emedia1977 Ta mate you can still see it from the track as well on a passing train from St Michaels. Is that building lived in it looks locked up with an old taxi outside. Do you know what unadopted means? Does that mean the council don't own it ?
Not the IDEAL exploring companion ... "Me back's knackered", "It's full of spiders", "Can you imagine being stuck down 'ere", "There's loads of eels", etc. :-D Seriously, though, I'm glad you're doing this because I'd no idea what was under my fine home city. Well done, lads!
Lol yeh i had a lot of issues down there but that small section at the end is an absolute back breaker...i think it opens up a little further up Cheers for watching glad you liked the video much appreciated bud
Can you do the underground tunnel in Breeze Hill Walton? I think its mentioned in the book you've got? That would be amazing, apparently it opens up to a huge vaulted brickwork room
@@g2emedia1977 Keep up the good work!, you are going to places I have only dreamed of, i don't know if you've been to Edge Hill yet (three tunnels, one two lead down to the docks , always wanted to go there seen a few RUclips vids of people getting access, the lucky people, there is so much more to Liverpool rich history, I think now we are only scratching the surface!
No, not for maximum strength. The egg shape restricts the water so it flows quickly over a narrow surface. This causes a scouring action that stops silt being deposited. The sewer is thus self cleaning. It works well if the fall on the sewer isn't too steep. A circular sewer would be slightly stronger but would tend to have silt deposits if the water flowed slowly.
Great video but be careful you need to have breathing gear on to do that. Very brave but could have cost you your life. Impressive even tho you broke all the rules on confined spaces. Be careful ffs
amazing very interested in never new it was there brilliant 👍

Does that mean the council don't own it ?
@Pardon Bear Thanks so much I wondered what it meant. So it's like a private road not done up by the council.
Wheres the entrance for section 3. Ive looked a few times for it but could never find it

Can you do the underground tunnel in Breeze Hill Walton? I think its mentioned in the book you've got? That would be amazing, apparently it opens up to a huge vaulted brickwork room
Will look into it mate deffo we have quite a few rail tunnels planned

Thanks simon there are tons of stuff to do in liverpool so much underground stuff to really amazing things in liverpool
You should’ve cleaned that trash grill 😜👍
not a chance there could be allkinds of crap stuck in there
Guys you need a gas detector when moving in confined space and mud /sludge as you can deplete the oxygen by agitating the contents of the mud ..
been going down here years with no problems
The classic egg shaped sewer........for maximum strength.
No, not for maximum strength. The egg shape restricts the water so it flows quickly over a narrow surface. This causes a scouring action that stops silt being deposited. The sewer is thus self cleaning. It works well if the fall on the sewer isn't too steep. A circular sewer would be slightly stronger but would tend to have silt deposits if the water flowed slowly.
El chapo scouse escape route 👌
Helsby tunnels
Ideal location for a scary movie,,,, but very dirty,,,
Ewe 🤢
It certainly is very spooky ha ha and very dirty
Great video but be careful you need to have breathing gear on to do that. Very brave but could have cost you your life. Impressive even tho you broke all the rules on confined spaces. Be careful ffs
Compared to the original brickwork at the collapse the new stuff looks like rubbish workmanship.
looks like a rushed job if you ask me
