The 2 pillars on the Barnard Castle side were blown up by the army about a decade after they removed the metalwork for demolition practice. I guess they weren't bothered by the last one. The bricks are from Pease's brickworks in Crook. (The same Pease family who were the main shareholders in the railway and were responsible for the Stockton & Darlington Railway)
My husband subscribes to many channels but every time I see you on you grab my attention immediately. I love to watch you explore the area and especially love the relationship you have with James. James is a great asset to your channel, his lovely smile and sense of humour is great. Keep on filming. Take care
My grandfather and my Great Uncles, my aunts and uncles and later myself and finally my son and daughter have played on the Gaunless Viaduct over the decades. I have very fond memories of exploring the remains of the viaduct in the early 60's with my late cousin when we were kids, not long after the girders were taken down. The last time I was up there was in July 2000. Thank you Martin & Co. for taking me down memory lane.
I remember Sid. My grandad lived at 69 High Lands. We used to walk down Sid's fields to the Gaunless in the late 60's/early 70's. Happy innocent days. Went today to remember my dad who died recently.
Absolutely stunning to see the remains of this viaduct, like the fallen columns of a giant ancient temple. It is stunning to see how many railway lines there were. Again a great video!
Just been there today to remember my dad Maxwell who died in March. Thanks for the video. My dad lived at High Lands. As a lad in the late 60's I used to walk with dad down the fields from grandad's house at 69 High Lands to the valley floor below and walk the old line. I hadnt been back since till today. The place is just as I remember it as a lad 50 odd years later. Amazing place. My grandad Jack worked in many mines in the area. He retired working at the last open cast mine at Low Lands in the late 60's. Thanks again.
Great drone shot of those demolished pillars, had a kind of disaster movie vibe to it. What a spectacular place to visit Martin. You always take us to the most interesting places.
Martin, that`s just 10 minutes from where i live. that`s the closest i`ve ever been to it despite driving passed there every work day for 14 years. Another cracking video.
One of my main fascinations with canals and railway lines is to think how they were built without any heavy machinery. There are some huge embankments near us and they still feel absolutely rock solid. Also very much agree - railmaponline is an excellent resource.
I was born not too far away from the area. I recall as a kid the whole family travelling to visit my Grandad at work. His steam loco was housed in the old engine shed at West Auckland on the Barnard Castle to Bishop Auckland line. It must have been not too long before the shed closed. Thanks lads for doing the history of the area some justice.
You're a great bunch of men, Martyn. Taking us to this so isolated spot in the Pennines, with all these old industrial tramways and spoil heaps, and then the remains of the huge viaduct that once was. It's such a fantastic video, and extremely interesting. Many thanks for this production.
Arvo from Downunder Martin, James, Liam and Roy.. Nice job m8s, reall appreciate bein able to see more of my favorite places [England] without experiencin the weather. Thanks.
Thanks Martin and James and co. Always wished to be able to go and walk the old Weardale and Teesdale railway system around Bishop Auckland. It's a wonderful and inciteful video. Oh, and a cheap way for an Aussie to be able to see the beautiful railway architecture in England. Thanks chaps, onward and upward!
Really great to explore a new area and to see some old infrastructure that is now returning to nature again. As a casual onlooker I'd never have dreamed for a moment how much industry was woven across our countryside. The views were amazing. And we had a humerous streak this week, not least when your brew failed to reach an acceptable temperature, but my favourite for the week was to James, "There he is, the face that ate a thousand chips". Poor old James does take some stick, but always with such good humour! And where's your spirit of boy scout adventure? There you were, sitting right next to a cow pat and claiming you had no fuel! Nothing like a nice big cow pat for burning! 🤣 Another great explore. Thanks all!
My Grandfather worked the coal on Cockfield fell. Lived in Cockfield most if his life. I lived in neighbouring Evenwood for much of mine. Its always nice to see 'home' as I think of that place. Its beautiful in the summer. Please revisit when the wildlife and wildflowers are in full swing. Remains found on Cockfield Fell suggest there was a settlement in the area during the Iron Age.
Fantastic video. It's great to see 4 chums bringing history to life so to speak. Thanks a lot, I really enjoyed the journey with you. Colin, Wakefield.
The brickwork in that is immense English bond you just dont see it anymore. The Brickyards supporting the canals and railways where everywhere .Id love to go back in time and re visit it all .Thanks for sharing the video 👍
“ This thing all things devours: Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws iron, bites steel; Grinds hard stone to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.” Sounds very appropriate yes? Great video Martin!
Another fantastic video as always Martin. The quality of your work is truly top notch. I've said this before in a comment about your videos but they are in my opinion, borderline TV production stuff. Thanks for sharing this. I always look forward to watching your adventures.
Both amazing and sad to see those fallen columns still left where they fell like fallen giants. Great video as ever Martin. I always look forward to seeing your content
It might seem mundane, but I'm always fascinated by the story behind every one of those bricks, in either the supports, the ducts, the maker of and the labourer, that one might wonder about. I can't help but have my mind drawn back to the person that put "that" brick where it lay today and wonder who they were, how they lived and how they died.
Excellent video Martin, don't think it ever saw diesels, DMUs were used on Darlington to penrith and Middleton in teesdale but passenger services finished in the 50s on this section. As diesel locos were too heavy for belah and Deepdale summer holiday services from Sunderland to Blackpool which came this way tended to be double headed steam but no bigger than class 4 2-6-0s Cheers Russ
Another fine video Martin and the Gaunless Viaduct is truely magnificant even in its partially demolished state on a line that was built in sections from Darlington to Tebay on the West Coast Mainline across some of the most difficult country in the UK.As you pointed out the Engineer was Sir Thomas Bouch who was famed for his "Economic Railways" which suited the Victorian Ideal of value for money after the Taybridge Disaster of Dec 1879 speed limits were introduced by the Board of Trade on all his High Viaducts and Bridges until they were Inspected and Strengthened which was completed by 1890,Bouch himself died a broken man after being blamed for the Disaster in Nov 1880.
Well done, one of my favs. What an incredible and beautiful structure it was. Beautiful columns. What a shame some were toppled and then just left like slag heap. I swear - you keep making these very exciting videos ( not the ones in dark wet, flowing tunnels) and I will have to consider moving to Manchester so I can tag along!!!! I won't eat too many of James' tea treats. LOL
@@MartinZero Yes, but not ones with water running though them or other wet things combined with darkness. Not good with such enclosed spaces especially with water, I have zero affinity to water. LOL
Another great video, bringing our history/heritage to life. Very informative and entertaining. Well done for all your efforts in showing us this. Regards.
Martin, a outstanding watch, lots in info, great B&W photos, use of maps and at 8:20 a nice little "Dance" by James. Looks like a cold day for "Iced Tea." The fallen columns are quite eerie but beautiful at the same time. The cracks in the second abutment just goes to show in the long run "Gravity always wins." To Martin and team, "Great watch" and nice to see James narrating more...... Forgot: Love the drone work.
Its sad to think how our ancestors slaved away in mines and quarries , and hardly saw the wider world in all their lives . An ancestor of our family on the maternal side was Thomas Grainger a railway engineer whose name is on the big viaduct at Yarm in the northeast over the Tees . I guess he must have known Thomas Bouch . Great channel Martin ! Cheers , Dave H Carnforth
Thank you guys for bringing us this fabulous video , i would never have know it was there unless you had brought it to my attention, its amazing how in how and the labour used in that era gave us what we have now , and how grateful we all should be that none of us have to work that hard in our era .
What a great video I just love these railway bridge finds with all the history that goes with it. The old photos and maps just says it all, so much history all around the area with the tram lines viaducts tunnels bridges when you think of the labour involved in doing these tasks it's just amazing really.
Good to see you moving towards the birthplace of rail transport, we have many miles of old waggonways, where coal was hauled first by horses and later by stationary engines, or self acting inclines before locomotives came along. Some very impressive monuments called batteries where they culverted the rivers then filled in the valley to make a level track over the top, vast amounts of labour and countless wheel barrows to build. The quarry you found was where the Cockfield Dyke has been removed for loadstone, it is part of the Cleveland Dyke system. Good video, I enjoyed it
Yet another brilliant video. When you think of the sheer labour it would have taken to build that, it's mind blowing. Especialy when you think most of it would have been entirely manual labour. Railmap online is certainly a very useful resource. I like being able to activate the different layers. I bet they suspected those piers would have broken up into manageable chunks when they dynamited them... How they were wrong 🙂
There's always history under your feet Martin, bit of a bugger when you don't realise it😭 By 'eaven she was up there some, as evidenced by your sudden desire to abandon your fear of heights, pack it in, my palms are still sweating!!! That was another fact filled Sunday treat, brilliant👍👍
Another great informative video. You guys are brilliant together. You can feel the passion you have for history. Must have been filmed on a Sunday, time and a turd.
Another brilliant video Martin….congrats to you and the team. We’ve got a viaduct up our way which has claims to be the World’s oldest railway viaduct…..the Laigh Milton Mill viaduct between Irvine and Kilmarnock. When you hear about the cost of HS2 it makes you wonder how the Victorians would’ve sorted it out…..both technically and cost wise.
They would have finished it in half the time (how many years have they been building it now) and on or under budget. No H&S BS, no red tape, they would just fkin get on with it. The bridges and viaducts would be built of beautiful brick or stone arches and blend in with the environment unlike modern horrible concrete monstrosities.
Thanks Martin and crew , you really do your homework mate. gGreat content, drone footage and backing music . Really well put togeather. Cracking final shot . Excellent work Martin and thanks. Sack the tea boy lol
Your In my neck of the woods I'm from Stockton, the Pease name is well know in the region they owned various businesses, the brickworks were at Darlington near to the viaduct, also a member of the Pease family was a director of the first steam railway the Stockton to Darlington.
Excellent exploration. Very glad to have found your channel. So much history just under the grass...and the sad sight of the piers laying there forlorn. Though it gave us a chance to see the construction, it always makes me think of those who gave their all, and often their lives to build all this amazing Victorian infrastructure, which is often now treated so carelessly. Off to read a bit more about the viaduct!
In the old maps of the tramways in the bottom left on the edge of the village it was possible to still see what could possibly be medieval strip plots. They are still visible on the Google earth maps.
So why do I like Martin Zero videos? Well it's because of Martin's enthusiastic presentation I cannot remember how I came across his channel, but it matters not because I have found it!!
Another marvellous historical treck Martin - fantastic content and production as usual, I am always amazed at the industrial treasures you uncover and share - best wishes.
Extremely well put together guys, informative and entertaining. Thomas Bouch designed many railways structures, I live in Fife close to the Tay Bridge and the remnants of the ill-fated first designed by said gentleman. He was a responsible for significant tranches of the railway infrastructure, especially lighter rail and tramways. Great shots and highlights to music - most enjoyable.

It's amazing how quickly nature takes everything back in just a short time.

Was that Joseph Pease from Darlington? Had Pease Mill in the town centre as well as lots of big buildings within the town.
Where can I get some Pease bricks?
A Railway line from Durham to Castle Barnard sounds incredibly good, esp for drivers suffering from temporary ability to see clearly

Hi Sergeant. Not mundane at all. You describe history perfectly. The people, the places, how they lived and died.
A story behind every stone and brick. Not mundane at all. Those stones are their memorial.
