I'm still amazed at the work they put into building the tunnels. It's just stunning and the pride in the work they took and it's only seen by a few people. It's a shame we can not build like them above ground now. Great work as always from the best team. Hello from a mild and warm ish Liverpool.
I was thinking the very same thing! Imagine sitting down to do yr business & having the toilet say, "Hi there!" Oh well, guess yr in the rt place for what might follow. LoL
The curved bottom of the old drain was to help keeping it clean. The narrow bottom would allow a higher velocity of the water to keep it clean. The vaulted top was to keep it was from collapsing. The brick work is so good looking.
Really enjoyed your vid chaps , great facts along the way . Amazing craftsmanship back then ! I must just say I am claustrophobic and watching you two really madeeme shudder , respect to you !!
Get the view ranger app and you can record your journey. It'll tell you how many feet you've walked and also show you your tunnel route on the map. So you can retrace the tunnel up top. Great vid BTW.
Great video folks,you can tell its old by the bricks,that pipe on the floor never seems to end LOL,800 ft or so is quite a distance to walk I be tired after that,nice to see more history.
I'm loving the old fort. I wish I knew the location or name of the fort so I could research it! I love history, especially untouched history like this (almost).
This was a great episode, and, i'd like to indent that you can get brick work like that, and coupled with modern brick burning, it looks amazing. The price? You have to be onsite, every day as an architect to whip around and make sure it gets done. I don't think that the unreliability and lower standards can be pinned on the labour, just, it's also the management that's lax and missing.
Hi folks just watching some of the oldies before I subbed, Fred Dibnah was one awesome guy, now there's a guy who knew a thing or 2 about demolition. x
The opened one was likely so to vent the pipe. You need such a thing from time to time lest you get a pressurized system and for that type of pipe (segmented) it would be disastrous.
The Orthohantavirus also know as the Hantavirus normally causes infection in rodents, but does not cause disease in them. Humans may become infected with hantavirus through contact with Rodent Urine, Saliva or Feces and it can be fatal in humans.🐀🐁🪤🚑
Can you imagine what those bricklayers had to go through (and tunnel diggers)? The extreme danger, the extreme heat, the lack of oxygen etc.! Don't think they would pay me enough to do that job!
Both shafts are original, the difference is that one is finished one is not, they never got around to chip the face of the brick to make it fit. Reason? Perhaps a late addition to the project.
For years i have been doing what you do without the cameras! When the citadel (borstal) was occupied you could hear from that manhole what sounded like people having lunch in a main hall or something like that? I noticed the citadel is up for sale do you know if it had been sold? I went on the website selling it an expressed an interest to buy and they gave me building plans for the whole site! You think underground here is vast that's nothing compared to ground level
While you where at the top you would most likely have gotten a cell signal. You should have gotten the GPS so you could have found the manhole lid on the surface. Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee, USA
While watching this video, I found myself getting up from my chair, standing up as straight and tall as possible and reaching out with my arms as wide as possible. Can somebody explain this? LOL.
