Seeing that you're well into your Black Country heritage, I thought you might want to know, Cobb's engine house wasn't a colliery, it was a pump used to pump water from Windmill End colliery. Later on, it also pumped water from other mines in the area. Really enjoying this Black Country history you're showing us.

Drew, I think I’ve commented on other bumble hole videos. I recently brought a house that backs onto the Dudley no 2 canal. Although the bumble hole is a registered nature reserve, the bumble hole pool was a registered landfill site so the pipes are for that very reason. It came up on our searches that it was a very deep hole that was filled in with household waste then turned into a pool.

Hi bud how you doing , thanks for sharing that I've never been down that end of the bumble hole.makes sense it was a landfill b&q Halesowen has the same in carpark to relieve the gasses

Also my understanding is the part where the canal ended it subsided and drained into the mines below. If you go to the visitor centre it has a model map of how it all used to look.

The vents you talk about I believe are for methane gas from old mines which was the cause of subsidence of the canal bed…what looked like a old round building you pointed out at the bumblehole was actually built in the 70s by a man named chater it was a windmill which he used to produce electric.

@MidlandsOutdoors 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing this quiet interesting tbh I thaught those vents would have been for mining quiet alot operated in the area at the time .

Brilliant as always Drew. I did know about the section you covered, found it by accident a couple of years ago. I did get a bit stressed out part way through the video as I was convinced you had your jumper on back to front 🙈😆. Im working all of this weekend but off Monday and Tuesday if you are free? Xx
