      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.

      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!

    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!

    Absolutely fantastic series. Riveting watching. If this series was an Olympic sport you would receive gold. Great work Martin.

    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 👍👍👍👍👍

    I find the UKs industrial past fascinating and Manchester still has so much which makes for some great videos from you thanks for sharing it with us ❤

    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.
