Martin as always does a fantastic job of bringing the history to life far better than reading a book about it. There is nothing like actually seeing what these places look like now with that historic content packed around it. Difficult to picture what there would have been at the time but impossible not to appreciate the skills and engineering of these great men.
Oh God, who needs television when you've got Martin Zero ? Dogfather xx, I'm with you all the way on your comment. All the men with now cold arses that have gone before us. We're all here just but a fleeting time but at least Martin is putting flesh on those old bones, a mark of respect for those that have gone before us.
Words can't describe how good this is but I'll try, lol. The presentation is excellent, the music is superb, the content so interesting, the filming is spot on, I loved the whole package. Your videos get better and better, well done. It's so sad seeing how it's all disappeared, especially seeing old photographs of the workers, and the sketch by Lowry. Can't wait for part 4. Ian and Angie.
Couldn't agree more with many of the comments . The time and effort Martin & co put into these is unreal. Captured for the masses, for those who appreciate the efforts of those who went before us. And this is the story of just one colliery and one aspect of life back then. How fortunate We are. Thanks again Martin, amazing !
Another amazing video, what I love most is the sense of history isn’t lost on you.... take that sleeper for instance, it’s a piece of wood, but you know it’s probably been there 100+ years, a person fitted that, think how many people have looked at it, walked along it and touched it in that time... just think about it for a second... it’s quite amazing really
Coal & cotton, what made South Lancashire. My old lad left school on a Friday age 14 and was darn pit on following Monday morning. Undercutting coal the dangerous part being why they needed small boys. UKs prosperity based the dangerous hard graft of the workers. Missed you last week, assumed you where still out and about making movies for us. All the best John
..... the legacy of King Cotton. Martin is showing us all how IT WAS... Today is twisting us through the prism of how some prefer to imagine how IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ... Yomp On, Martin.... We Need YOU ;
So Martin says "I hope you enjoyed the video". Like yeah! I mean how can you not like it. Bringing to life the history of these places and the lives of the hard men and women associated with them. what a teacher you are Martin and thank you so very much for your efforts
Can't agree more with Ian and Angie. Your videos just get better and better Martin. Wonderful stuff that really fires the imagination. (If only those stones could talk!) Thank you so much Martin and Danny.
Many thanks, Martin. You have no idea how much your vids do for my mental health at the moment. I'm in Day 97/98/I Can't Remember of social isolation and shielding. I'm living in a tiny, tiny, tiny bedsit in south-east London with no access to outside space and when I look out my window, I cast my gaze on a massive car wash until I raise my eyes to the far distance, in which I can see four trees. (They're not healthy specimens, but at least they're trees.) I've also run out of British TV shows and films I want to see/can afford and have been relying on Netflix and Amazon Prime for windows on the world. So all I hear are American accents. Once a week, I go out late at night to my shopping and in an entire week, the only live British accent I'll hear is "That'll be £38.47 please". This isn't to create some narrative of 'poor little me'. I'm a resilient person. I can cope with all of this. My comment is more to celebrate you. You have no idea how much the images you create of greenery and wildness do to feed my raisin of a soul right now. And you have no idea how much I've yearned for the accent of the people I grew up around. These things keep me sane, calm and relaxed and happy at the moment, so thank you. Please keep on doing what you're doing.
As usual Martin....a really great video! Full of facts and atmosphere. Yes....all the lives that have come and gone, births and deaths and everything in between.The people who made the history are often forgotten, replaced by dates and big events. The ruling classes write the stories they want people to hear, of great men with big ambitions. But it's the people who brought their dreams to life that I find really fascinating. The men who laid the bricks, and placed that sleeper in the ground, and the women who raised their kids. The likes of you and I are here today, only because people back then survived what was done to them in the name of progress. So, lets not paint too rosy a picture of the people who lived in the big house, and thank our lucky stars we're alive today and not back then. Can't wait for #4....
I love every minute of this,the time you spend showing not just the architectural history but the people who worked so hard here is what always impresses me.
Fascinating video martin ...so many things remain ..we found it a wonderful place during our walk....thanks for all your hard work we look forward to part four ..stay safe mate ..Frank & Lee..
Jeez, I want to get in there with a big strimmer to see the whole layout of the place!!! One time there Martin I thought you were going explode with excitement - I can see why. So much history, so many lives, so many stories, incredible. 👍❤🐝
Can't wait for the wheel pit video had a nosey around there in the late 90's and its amazing how much nature has grown around it over the last 25 years!!!
Waited with baited breath for this one Martin. From the bottom of my heart well worth the wait. Jaw - droppingly excellent fascinating video. I got a tingle up my spine with that sleeper you found. Well played old boy
BRILLIANT!! I'm reading a book about James Brindley. Now, I come from a canal viewpoint, so I'd never heard of Brindley's work at Wet Earth Colliery. The book has some very simple diagrams but these don't make clear exactly what Brindley designed to solve the problem caused by water in the mine. I just discovered your three videos and you have made everything clear in a really engaging and enthusiastic way. I just subscribed and will be watching all your stuff from the beginning. Thanks very much, Martin - superb.
Another absolutely fascinating watch Martin. As well as the wonderful subjects you cover, it's clear that you put a tremendous amount of work into making these videos entertaining, informative and very well presented. As someone who is currently 'shielding' from this damned virus and therefore unable to travel, I really appreciate you showing us these tremendous places and the effort that goes into each video from you and Team Zero! You've been making lockdown so much easier for a lot of people, many thanks!
It's got to the stage where I start to watch your posts and hit the like at the same time then watch the post through. You're quality is so interesting and well presented. Thanks again for your work and enthusiasm.
Martin, I have to say, how blown away I was to watch this extremely interesting and superbly well produced , researched and presented this series of wet earth colliery.
Well Martin I really enjoyed that. I just love the stonework of the walls and tunnels. Nature sure has been working hard there with all that undergrowth. Seeing inside the tunnel was magic.thank you so much for taking me along.
Love the history thanks Martin and co. I was a faceworker at Agecroft until closure, and my subsequent move to Parsonage colliery in Leigh. I have a keen interest in all history, especially the films regarding coal/collieries/mining. They don't do it like northerners do! Keep it up please.
You say it's asking a lot for us to use our imagination, but with your descriptions and story telling it is not hard at all. You bring us along with you in such an easy and interesting way. Thank you Martin.
Martin, your research & your work is magnificent. I do hope you manage to complete the series on the Wet Earth Colliery. Really looking forward to a part 4.
As a kid I often played by the old Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal, from Salford into Agecroft and Clifton. My Granddad told me how parts were filled in after the last war era when 'technology' got the better of us. I think the remaining spots left open were for anglers (keen fishermen to the rest of the world) to carry on their weekend activities. Anyhow - Top stuff Martin. I always enjoy your videos and appreciate the research that goes into them.
Well what a day, myself and her-in-doors have been kayaking up coniston most of the day, decided to treat ourselves 🤟🏻 To come home, little bit of tea. Then watched this your latest video 👌🔥 brilliant, luv it. All them year's of history 🤟🏼 just brilliant 🙌👍 looking forward to the next. Keep up the great work 💪👌💪👊
Played all over the area as a boy. Found out later than my dad had played in the tunnels in the late 1940’s early 50’s. There is a tunnel on the river bank below the canal, and one day I climbed down and sat at the entrance (2010) by the steel door blocking the tunnel. When I looked through the hole of the door I heard foot steps and someone whistling a tune approx ten feet away walking towards me, but no one was there. I’ve been in the large holes and tunnels in the early 1980’s. In the old canal there were a line of abandoned barges left to rot, not far from the turbine. There is also a ww2 pillbox on top of the canal that we played in (1983) but it became so overgrown that it couldn’t be seen when I visited in 2014. In the 80’s we found old buildings with fireplaces amongst the undergrowth. Amazing place and really interesting to watch you walk through the tunnels. I believe Time Team did an episode on it, but I may be wrong.
A cracking mini series Martin, the pondering of old maps and pictures too being on site where you can say that used to be this or that. But the transition of time throws up things maps or pics dont tell you of the changes it went through. As they say seek and you shall find, but may come away with more questions then answers. Simply awesome cheers ken
Its amazing what you find in the undergrowth can almost know that some sort of building has been there would love to watch part 4 of the wet earth colliery & find out the history some good clues there martin in the undergrowth we shall see in the next video brill mate 👍
Thank you for the video Martin. I like the you way cross reference with the old maps. You'd think there would already have been surveys of these places.
great to see you back at Wet Earth Colliery and continuing the story Martin, thoroughly fascinating and much enjoyable video and looking forward to part 4. Cheers 👍
So....there's a part 4? As usual , can't wait for that . Clearly this site has much to reveal. There's lots around that area ,a very rich hunting ground. Thanks for rooting it out and serving it up to us in such an intensely interesting way. Bloody brilliant , award yourself a beer. You're payng , though !
Martin, these videos featuring the ghosts of industrial structures hidden in the woods are some of your best work! It's absolutely fascinating, sad and encouraging at the same time, to see how Nature has reclaimed what people have abandoned!
Great to see that you're enjoying your work and we look forward to seeing the videos and uncovering the history of the areas in and around Manchester,, bloody brilliant,, 😁😁☘️☘️☘️from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated thank you,, good bricklayers would be in great demand,,
Quite fascinating video, it is really cool to see how do you put puzzle pieces together with looking back to earlier videos. I imagine, with some money and people it would be possible to let the whole colliery resurface as prime example of early industrial history.
Nice one Martin, had to wait for this video for so long since I seen you aon the river bank back all those months ago. It was worth the wait, keep up the good work.
Absolutely fascinating, this is on my door step and I never knew its history! well done Martin for the thoroughly enjoyable videos, looking forward to no 4..
Martin as always does a fantastic job of bringing the history to life far better than reading a book about it.

Thank you so much Ian and Angie, really appreciate that
You said what I was going to say, well put and so true. Cheers
completely agree with everything you said, well summed up. Thanks martinzero, this is fabulous stuff.
Great comment, well put. I think most of us would completely agree.👌👍
Couldn't agree more with many of the comments . The time and effort Martin & co put into these is unreal. Captured for the masses, for those who appreciate the efforts of those who went before us.

Thanks very much

Yeah absolutely, its a gem of a find
Well said Dogfather, it's very emotive.
Great stuff! Thanks again!
excellent video all you need on a sunday evening is a video from martin and a late tea thats my evening sorted.
Cheers Tom
Here he comes to save the day, Martin Zero's on his way...
Mighty Mouse 😂 Mighty MartinZ

Martin is just an ordinary mancunion but when he drinks a can of bodingtons he turns into bodingtons Manchester explorer man
andy caufman
With the music and visuals, I find these videos completely mesmerising...... :)
Thanks Demelza
Excellent video again Martin.
An explorer's worse enemy is pricklies and things that sting! 🙂👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Yeah absolute Killer
Coal & cotton, what made South Lancashire.
My old lad left school on a Friday age 14 and was darn pit on following Monday morning.
Undercutting coal the dangerous part being why they needed small boys.
UKs prosperity based the dangerous hard graft of the workers.
Missed you last week, assumed you where still out and about making movies for us.
All the best

..... the legacy of King Cotton. Martin is showing us all how IT WAS... Today is twisting us through the prism of how some prefer to imagine how IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ... Yomp On, Martin.... We Need YOU ;
So Martin says "I hope you enjoyed the video". Like yeah! I mean how can you not like it. Bringing to life the history of these places and the lives of the hard men and women associated with them. what a teacher you are Martin and thank you so very much for your efforts
Thank you Scott
Can't agree more with Ian and Angie. Your videos just get better and better Martin. Wonderful stuff that really fires the imagination. (If only those stones could talk!) Thank you so much Martin and Danny.
Welcome back to another great video !!! Great work , well done . Stay safe
Thank you Victor
Many thanks, Martin. You have no idea how much your vids do for my mental health at the moment. I'm in Day 97/98/I Can't Remember of social isolation and shielding.

Thanks very much Darrien I really appreciate that. More greenery to come in the next video
Brinley was a absolute genius!!!
He was Peter

Great video and great music, as always. Must have been horrific these places, now they're serene and peaceful. All those lives spent there...
Fascinating once again Martin,better than anything on TV...keep it up 👌👌
Waited with baited breath for this one Martin. From the bottom of my heart well worth the wait. Jaw - droppingly excellent fascinating video. I got a tingle up my spine with that sleeper you found. Well played old boy
Thank you. I found it frustrating as I wanted to see more
Great video. Part 4 should be interesting. Amazing the amount historical stuff buried in the overgrowth.
Well im eyes pealed for part 4. 👍🏻 Loving this series 😁 keeping me occupied in lockdown. 👍🏻

It's amazing how quickly nature can reclaim old abused industrial sites once we let it! Great video again Martin!
Thank you Cappen
Love the history thanks Martin and co. I was a faceworker at Agecroft until closure, and my subsequent move to Parsonage colliery in Leigh. I have a keen interest in all history, especially the films regarding coal/collieries/mining. They don't do it like northerners do! Keep it up please.
Thanks Jester. Wow thats so interesting that you worked at Agecroft
@@MartinZero Yeah '81 to closure. My Dad and two brothers worked there too. They were all deputies, and I had my deputies papers.
another great journey Detective Zero
Throughly enjoyed this series and cant wait for part 4.
Keep up the informative work Martin..
Thanks Ant
You say it's asking a lot for us to use our imagination, but with your descriptions and story telling it is not hard at all. You bring us along with you in such an easy and interesting way. Thank you Martin.

Come back in winter when all the plants have died back.

So....there's a part 4? As usual , can't wait for that . Clearly this site has much to reveal. There's lots around that area ,a very rich hunting ground.

Thanks very much Chris
Excellent! Looking forward to part four and then binging the whole playlist again :D
Cheers Lulu
Quite fascinating video, it is really cool to see how do you put puzzle pieces together with looking back to earlier videos. I imagine, with some money and people it would be possible to let the whole colliery resurface as prime example of early industrial history.
Yes Peter, the site is of major historical importance
Fascinating stuff, got me hooked, nice one Martin
Nice one Martin, had to wait for this video for so long since I seen you aon the river bank back all those months ago. It was worth the wait, keep up the good work.
Absolutely fascinating, this is on my door step and I never knew its history! well done Martin for the thoroughly enjoyable videos, looking forward to no 4..
Thanks very much
Yet another great video. Excellent job.
All very interesting and beautiful.
interesting and educational as usual. Thank you very much Martin for your efforts.
Thank you Tobbe
Fascinating. I'm sure Mr Brindley would be very proud of what you are doing.
This colliery must have been an absolute beast back in the day, looks like it had so much infrastructure
Yeah it was, There were so many though
Brilliant brilliant brilliant martin...best yet...keep up the great work marra✌
