In this video we try some Mudlarking and we visit some abandoned mine workings. This week we are in Clifton country park on the Manchester / Salford border. We try some mudlarking on the banks of the River Irwell. We have some great finds. Victorian era Clay pipes. Old ornaments and pottery. This is also in the Irwell Valley and this was a Mining area around the 18th and 19th Century in Manchester / Salford. So we visit some abandoned mine workings and tunnels. In this urbex Urban explore we also find an old disused Victorian Steam turbine by the river bank. This is a wonderful piece of Industrial history. This is a good adventure along the river Irwell. We are very near to Wet Earth Colliery in Clifton. A place where James Brindley the famous civil engineer used an ingenious method to drain Wet Earth Colliery of flood water.
