Martin, if there were an award for internet documentaries, like the BAFTAs or Oscars, then this Medlock series should win top prize. It's a wonderful series.
It’s been an incredible series of videos and was the inspiration for me to return to Manchester after many years to retrace your steps with not only the Medlock but also the Tib and the Irk. (Plus a few others in the centre). Thank you for completing the series. The Castlefield area is phenomenal from a pre and post Industrial Revolution perspective. I wonder if you may one day return to the Medlock and trace it from Phillips park upstream to the source!
I love this historic journey of Britain. Those engineers really knew what they were doing and the future they were building. It's sad to see the decline in the UK manufacturing, but I understand the reasons why. The nation should be proud of its achievements. UK universities are world renowned, teaching valuable knowledge. It's painful to see the self-loathing of some at times. I hope people come to their senses and celebrate the UK's proud historic legacy.
Brilliant ending. A series to watch over and over. This should definitely be picked up by a TV company. A masterpiece standing above all. I feel honoured to have had the privilege of watching this. Thank you and all your teem.
Totally agree - I need to dedicate time to binge watch the whole series from the start. Completely fascinating blend of industrial history, social history, engineering, lessons we can learn for the future and northern humour (I was born and raised in Stockport). If this was on the BBC I wouldn't feel hard done to in paying the licence fee as I currently do. A million times better than most of the stuff they push out.
I was probably on of the last people to work a commercial boat through Hulme. We used to bring Maize from Liverpool round the canal, then drop down onto the Irwell to BOCM opposite the number9 dock. Notice the lock walls are of stone for 1/3 of their height then brick!? Originally there were 3 locks, you can see them on that map, and later they made them into 1 deep one!
Excellent video as always. Thank you for showing us the unseen parts of Manchester. It makes me appreciate the history and the achievements of the men who built it
What a journey, what a documentary. What an inspiration. A fantastic culmination to all your efforts. Respect and thanks to all involved in the making of this historical social documentation.
A strangely beautiful journey and a fascinating insight into industrial archeology and the city of Manchester. Incredible production values comparable to the best of BBC.
The Medlock series has been fantastic over the past seven years, Martin. This program is another great addition. You have done a lot of research on this project, and it is well appreciated, I can tell you. Keep up any relative Manchester discoveries if you can, all the past ones have been mega-watching! Thank you.
Martin, never mind the 1850s. When I was a kid in Manchester in the 1950s and 60s those urban rivers were absolutely stinking with sewage outflow and industrial waste not to mention even worse stuff whipped up to a stinking froth. What a stink that even walking over the bridges was trial. So I am amazed to see you in waders and kayaks in these in these little bits of wild ecology hidden in the city centre with green all around. What an amazing transformation!
I know you love what you do, but it's also a hell of a lot of work & effort, thanks so much for taking us along on your adventures Martin and gang, cheers !!!
This definitely did not disappoint... and was eagerly awaited. Doing that by kayak was amazing! Absolutely epic and thanks to all of you involved in taking us along!! Including Geoterra for those photos which we were privileged to see. Journey's end indeed. Well done......
Medlock 12! This is what Sundays are all about! I might have to rewatch the entire series as I've enjoyed this epic journey so much. Thank you, Martin and Team!
It is utterly embarrassing the sewage and rubbish in these rivers in 2024. Great video. Love having my quiet moments to sit with a cup of tea and watch our ancestors' work!
Not. Only does the Medlock series represent the best in class of RUclips documentary production, it also represents a period of my life in a very unique way and for the rest of my life I'll never forget these times, I spoke online to you, I spoke also to dean and then Covid19 hit, this was a very significant part..of life for me, to be honest I can only offer my thanks for really adding an entirely new dimension to life at that time 🙏
What a journey it has been. Loved all 12 of them Martin. Thanks to you and everyone at different stages who made it possible. You go up n above. Way way better than what’s on the telly!
@@MartinZero, I’ve had a chance to properly watch the last video of the Medlock series. What a fitting send off to a wonderful series. Thank you for introducing me to the waterways around Manchester. I look forward to visiting one day. A sincere thanks for this and all your videos…
Having lived in Salford and Manchester a while ago with 'Eyes wide curious', to watch your productions doing the things I wish I could, makes me happy by proxy!. Thank you and keep going!
What an epic adventure, finally finished, amazing! Well done Martin and everyone else involved, it was worth the wait, a fitting end to a fabulous series!! 🤗
the heroic age of exploration Martin. Great to see the original line up before Roy and James but it ends with the classic line up and Roy’s finale brilliant.😊
Been waiting to see the Hole of Death Part 2 ever since. Truly horrifying in flood. If ever there was a reason for some sort of barred cover, we're staring at it. Gotta love some classic Dickensian nightmare fuel
I guess the silt blockage at the outflow end gets washed away during flood stage? I imagine it would cause quite a problem if the river backed all the way up the tunnel, unless it would just overflow into the basin? 🤔
Thanks for a great series and all the other vids you put on. You got more guts than me to go into some of those confined spaces.I think its sad that all the hard work of our forefathers will fall into disrepair and get lost forever
being a Salfordian who spent many happy summers as a kid in the 80's messing about on Hulme locks and the Irwell i always wanted to know where many of these little rivers that enter the length of the Irwell come from this is 1 of the best series i have ever watched and you deserve far more praise and recognition for your work than you get, thank you and keep up your amazing work, cheers our kid 👏
Thank you Martin & the team, so enjoyed your videos, especially following the river medlock, Love the old pictures of Manchester, sure was born in the wrong century, but grateful i am here watching your keeping history alive, take care. Chas, Brum.
This is so important. @TheInternationalist01nailed it. Most people, I'm sure, have no idea the vast wealth created by the hard working Industrialists and their employees who built the amazing structures you have featured, created the greatest empire the world has ever known. I bet it's not taught in schools these days. Thank you Martin and team.
I am lost for words Martin. As the previous post states I wish that there was an award system for quality documentary/historical series. You would win hands down. I have enjoyed every moment of the Medlock series and all your other productions. If it wasn't for you and you mates much of this would be lost forever. You have recorded it for posterity. In one way I am sad that the Medlock series has come to its inevitable conclusion, but hearted to know that your sagas continue. Wonderful music too. Thanks to all, Roy, James & Timmy and everyone else involved. THANK YOU!
Very interesting video as usual. Amazing engineering back in the day. The brickwork in those tunnels looks in excellent condition considering their age, hardly if any water ingress.. Salute to those brickies. The Brickworks owners must have made a nice living back then.
Very interesting, thank you. Just amazes me the work that must’ve gone into moving these rivers around and it’s amazing how far down ground level would’ve been from the streets you walk on today.
Aw, Martin. I felt quite sad that this was the last Medlock video. I absolutely love the haunting Medlock Music you play, it's fab! Thanks for making and sharing your videos and inviting us all along. I hope it's not the very last video you're doing of anything 😢? I've loved nearly all of them. x
Martin, it was a grand conclusion. Much enjoyed it. The photos of old Manchester and the mills were quite incredible. Since the family moved out of Manchester in 1949, they were views that I remember a little from when I was very very young...riding around upper deck on a 17 bus from Middleton. Be well. Great stuff. John
Very interesting and an exclusive look into the history of Manchester and Salford , the skill engineering and imagination to build such structures. Now you Have exposed these wonders to the world.
Must admit I did wonder were the channel was heading having seen the e-bike review, but faith restored a long time in the making but finally complete now, a bit sad in a way as the journey is over, great video as are all the underground waterways you produce are.
Loooong awaited. Last chapter of the Medlock.. What a joy, but pretty scary place to venture in to in this one. Could have been fantastic to see where the river came down though,, from the last chapter. But all in all hugely interesting, also with the basin and it's connection to the Medlock. As if many strings came together. A wery wery big thanks guys.
Ehhhhh Roy, youre a game lad going into that tiny overflow tunnel. You wouldnt catch me going even that far!!! So thats the end of the Medlock series. Well worth the wait for the final piece Martin, but can i just say, im a little sad to see it end. Its been a journey, hasnt it? Thank you for bringing us along with you.
Loved that series. I went down the old Hulme locks many years ago on my cousins narrow boat. We turned right towards Manchester and got as far as the bridge on Trinity Way before we hit the bottom and had to turn around. We also stopped off for a pint or two at the Mark Addy before returning to the Bridgewater. Please keep the videos coming.
Never any need to apologise Martin for anything you think may be a delay. You have a life to live too ........ Everything you put out here is just class - regardless of when it was filmed. Thank you.
Almost sad to see this series come to an end. I still have no idea why YT suggested your "trapdoor" video to someone in the US but I'm glad I eventually watched it because you make amazing content. Maybe someday when I'm back in the UK again I'll be able to visit the Manchester area.
@@MartinZerothis is the power of your content. I was back in Manchester visiting from Holland a few weeks ago and was talking to family about the route of the Cornbrook. Then when it came to going for a walk, I knew where to go to: Clifton Country Park! Wet Earth, the syphon, Fletcher's canal, the 13 arches, the aqueduct, Manchester & Bury canal, Agecroft, etc. It was amazing, I was quite the tour guide, all down to your videos. Thank you so much!
Amazing video Martin. Having joined you on a couple of explores into the Medlock, I feel quite sad the Medlock journey is finally over. What a story it had to tell. Amazing 👏
i sure hope you keep finding more places to take us exploring. it was in a way sad and satisfying to see the conclusion of the series but the show must go on.
Thank you Martin, a fantastic look at our social and industrial heritage. Your vids are always so informative and interesting, please make lots more of them. I would like, for example, to know more about Harewood Castle near Leeds, which I was told was partially destroyed during the English Civil War.
Congratulations Martin and co at last you have finished your River Medlock series it took a long time but there we are I must say Martin you were very brave to go in that tunnel on the Kayak I hate deep dark water in tunnel's. Well done again team always a pleasure to watch. 👏
That was a great series. It was the first of your videos that came into my feed and I started waiting for them to drop. Now that it's done I have the urge to go through them again. And I really love that theme you guys developed for it way back. When I saw this episode title I started hearing that theme going in my head.
Congratulations on finishing the series guys, such a great adventure to watch from the other side of the World. I think one of my favourite things that you do is bring the past back to life, especially the way how you find the old photos of Manchester and then somehow find the exact spot where the original was taken. It's amazing to see how much Manchester has changed. As a kid in the 70's I remember how black and sooty everything was and when I have returned some 40 or so years later everything seems so much cleaner. Love your work 👍👍👍👍👍
Very satisfying to see this wonderful journey completed. If we still had Granada regional programmes this would have made a fine TV series, just the sort of stuff Granada were great at producing.
What an incredible journey through industrial heritage and history. This has been the eye-opener of my life and I've seen some stuff on archaeological digs that were both astonishing and heartbreaking. But this is beyond most of that. Thank you for persevering with the series and seeing it to the end. Patience pays off. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks to everyone that has helped me on this journey. Music: 'Forgotten' by Aurora B. Polaris. Thank you Stuart for arranging the pics from Geoterra
You’re a leg keep going pal
A bit of aurora b polarise chillstep/chillwave music for the win! 8:24
I'm no way affiliated but the pics from Geoterra were brilliant to see
Martin, if there were an award for internet documentaries, like the BAFTAs or Oscars, then this Medlock series should win top prize. It's a wonderful series.
Thank you much appreciated
Yes, tv is defunct now. Martins production values put his RUclips videos way ahead of anything tv can come up with.👍
It’s been an incredible series of videos and was the inspiration for me to return to Manchester after many years to retrace your steps with not only the Medlock but also the Tib and the Irk. (Plus a few others in the centre). Thank you for completing the series. The Castlefield area is phenomenal from a pre and post Industrial Revolution perspective.

Final episode and what an epic journey and an epic series. Defintely a labour of love. 👏👏👏
Thank you Mike
This has sorted out the next half hour, thanks guys.
It is utterly embarrassing the sewage and rubbish in these rivers in 2024. Great video. Love having my quiet moments to sit with a cup of tea and watch our ancestors' work!
An amazing series, great information. I didn't realize that it had be going on so long. You and the team are like investigative journalists.
Fantastic. It's been emotional watching all of these , and I am from Birmingham! Thanks Martin. ;)

It never ceases to amaze me, the sheer amount of bricks in that river.
Thanks for this fantastic series of videos
Thanks very much

Yes great videos of local history and industrial archaeology
Thanks you Martin for nice video see you next time
Great story thanks for sharing...
Thanks Terry
Brilliant series Martin, remember the dinghy slowly descening down the wall into the river. Excellent.
That took some arranging 🫣😄
Thank you for a very informative and entertaining series.

Learned something again.
As always.
