Hello Martin. Excellent video, as usual. The engineers "back in t' day" weren't as daft as it might seem. The idea of bricking the riverbed is exactly to provide a fast, smooth route for the river, not to slow it down at all. When you've got a lot of water coming in, you need to get a lot of water through, and fast. A natural riverbed will snag trees, rocks, and lord knows what else, and in a flood situation it will start eroding the banks. This happens fast - in 1872, it took an hour from the start of the flood to taking out the cemetery - around here in 2015 we had major flood, from the time where the river started to leave its bed due to natural damming with a few trees, it took under 10 minutes to utterly and absolutely remove a quarter of a mile of road, which took 2 years to put back in....
Another great episode Martin! It's nice to see the younger folk taking an interest in historical things. The old photos of the arches and the men working in what look like miserable conditions contrasted with the modern filming of the area really brings history to life. This is what makes your channel so great. Keep up the good work!
Hi Martin, great work once again. I really love the way you give context with old maps and add old historic photographs. There is only one thing I missed: brew time 🙂
Brilliant video, brought a tear to my eye when you mentioned and showed photos of Bradford pit. My uncle worked there for donkeys years till it closed. Have a few pictures somewhere. If I find them, I'll send them over to your Facebook page!
I am so hooked on these amazing videos about the city I love. Faithful viewers look for critical things like who made the tea, and did James buy biscuits on clearance again! Lol Joshing aside, you all are doing something I love, honoring our past.
14:40 Once as field service engineer I was told I had a call at a firm in Bradford. SO I headed up the M62 from my home in Denton. As I got to Hartshead services I rang my company who then gave me the full address. It was at British Vita (now Vitafoam) in Bradford, Manchester. I had lived in East Manchester all my life an never knew there was a Bradford in Manchester - Doh!
Thanks for showing that Martin,I have lived in Australia for the past 55 years,the Medlock I knew was the free running part up to Daisy Nook area,green fields clean river, used to go to the Meddie as kids most weekends, about the age of 11 we discovered the Red River,and it was an amazing discovery at that age,me and my pal Geoff Davies could not figure out what was going on,pure dread and excitement,I am 83 now so this was 70 odd years ago,I can't remember the Humpty but vaguely remember at one point we had to have our backs to the wall and inch slowly forward,the whole journey along the Red River was a scary eye opener,I don't think we got much further than Bradford pit,maybe to where City stadium is now,it was just a one off, no desire to ever go there again, sad to see the Meddie harnessed like that,a very dangerous playground for kids in those days.
There's something about the Medlock series music that brings back some great memories of watching your series from the beginning all those years ago. 😀 Thank you for putting a smile on my face with a lil bump of excitement through my veins. 😊🙌🏼
So glad you caught your coat, what a super explore. Love the intro filming. Great time was had by all. So informative as well. Thank you for an amazing trip.
Another good one Martin. There is a similar set-up on the river at Stoneyholme in Burnley. It is stone rather than brick, but seems to do the same job of getting floodwater through as quickly as possible. It has a small channel for the daily flow, but a wider squared-off stone channel for higher flows. I remember seeing it in full spate as a child, bloody scary when you’re stood (or rather running as fast as poss over it, ha ha) on the bridge over it, water lapping the underside! Aaargh.
Another greatly improved Sunday thanks to a Martin Zero video! I probably know more about the Medlock by now than about many rivers that are actually near me... Loved seeing that storm drain in action, always neat to witness such structures when things are actually in flood, helping to get rid of excess water. The coat going on adventures without you was of course the icing on the cake! :)
Amazing. I am Manchester born and bred, but never knew that all this was under my feet. Strangely enough, I found your channel from a collaboration you did with Darren of AdventureMe. Two fantastic channels I really enjoy watching. A great laugh when you get together. Very educational too. I can just imagine you and you mates in the pub after one of your adventures. Great stuff.
Hi Martin, re: your waders. Dry the waders out, and hang them up! Fill the right leg up with water to locate where the hole is, then mark it. Then get yourself a tube of aquasure, most good tackle shops sell it or go online. Then follow the instructions (once they have dried out again) I have used waders for fishing for 30+yrs, and have had an extra 4yrs just from one repair of this stuff!!! Really interesting vid as always, thanks!
Another excellent adventure Martin! The Big Humpty is HUGE! And I'm so glad you got your rain coat back, what a story. And what a good friend Roy is for retrieving it. Keep up the outstanding work. I always look forward to your videos! Cheers from USA!
Always a happy moment when I see your latest video is up. They're always unfailingly interesting and of course this one's no exception. Your combined knowledge is awesome and that footage of the sewage outflow was a stark warning about straying into dangerous places! That was some force of water. The big Humpty itself is pretty impressive too. Martin what a tale of woe with your coat! Life's so unkind sometimes..... but at least you got it back and the giant squirrel of doom was defeated! Thanks everyone, that was a really entertaining video.
A Sundays delight, another Martin Zero production, some of the best historical documentations of the inter workings history of the Area... giving a taste of the surrounding area.... Great to see the team and the man James, brew master par excel-lance.... Cheers.
Interesting video. I enjoy exploring places like this one, especially if they're old. New subscriber here. I currently reside in East Tennessee. I move house every few years around these 50 states. I'm fortunate to have an employer who allows this nomadic lifestyle. I'm from Oahu. When I retire, I'll most likely head over to the UK, exhaust the American maximum 6 month stay limit, and explore your country for that 6 months. Love your videos! Thanks!!
Another great adventure. Hope your coat washed OK. I always thought that the flood prevention in the red brick river was the width of the overall channel. Whereas the central channel was created for when the flow is light, so it would not meander and always have a focussed water channel to keep any debris on the move. Thanks again, Pete
Roy is an absolute diamond, what a great friend to have. Loved the pictures of the building work in the Medlock, a narrow gauge line, traction engines and a river diversion show just what a major task it was. Also good to see the pictures from the Bradford Colliery, in particular the steam lorry taking a full load of coal out. If you watch John Mills doubleboost channel you will occasionally see one of these lorries in steam and running. A grisly tale from the floods in 1872. I've been caught out a couple of times in my car in flash floods over here, it can be seriously dangerous and often costs lives. Roy's footage from that storm drain in full flow shows just how powerful it can be. Great video and lovely to hear that Medlock music again, well done!! Good luck from Portsmouth (back home in Spain tomorrow)!!
another fantastic show. they did a fabulous job of converting the river back to nature upstream of the big tunnel. you would never know it had been bricked up.
That was so excellent. The Big Humpty is gorgeous. I’m really pleased you got your coat back would have been a huge loss. Thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Fantastic Video Martin. Great Group of Guys, Great Pictures of the Past, Well informative & Very enjoyable to watch, I've Watch quite a few Videos of yours but After this one i Subscribed, Great Work, Excellent !!!
Watching you on here and following you on insta for the last few years has given me an unnatural interest in waterways of Manchester haha, for a Middlesbrough born bloke I have a pretty comprehensive knowledge of the Rivers of Manchester thanks to you haha. Excellent vid.
That tunnel profile looks like they'd use for a railway tunnel, except the rail ones have ballast etc on the bottom hiding the invert. That coat needs its own show. Imagine if it had a go pro attached to it!
Absolutely amazed at how you make such interesting videos of things that ordinary folk would just view as 'oh, just a river culvert'. Fascinating as always and who knew there was a coal mine so near to Manchester City Centre. Great work, Martin, keep it up!
Love a walk and explore with Martin , hope he gets around the West Midlands for an exploration soon , I’ve worked and been around the river rea in Birmingham all my life and would love to know more about it
Hi Martin. Thumbs up on another excellent video from you & friends. I was pleasantly surprised you added more to the Medlock series👍 As mentioned in latter comments; The brick gully was designed to take water away quickly at both low & average to high flows. This was a two-fold design to take along silt & detritus with it. You've mentioned yourself in previous videos how polluted the river was, so the fast flow even in drought conditions prevented foul sediments building up; they were effectively flushed through. Secondly: In higher flash-flood conditions the water has that huge open slightly sloped area to flood onto without causing damage to the side-walls.

I really love all your videos, it's your content that drew me into subscribing etc. on here on UA-cam. 'Really appreciated, thanks fella 👍
One reason for the brick trough is , it prevents trees and debris snagging on things and creating a dam which eventually breaks and you get more damage from the sudden rush of water. The sides prevent erosion and also give the water more places to go without causing damage. The shape of the big humpty is common with hand dug tunnels that don't have any support. The shape supports itself. I dont know why they would use that design in a brick tunnel. Maybe they felt the earth wasn't strong enough and it needed more support.
Very interesting Martin and the lads! I wonder if the red river was made like that to get the water away as fast as possible under flood conditions. Glad you got your coat back.
Wow another amazing video glad Roy got your coat for you if that was me I'd be devastated that's a massive tunnel " the big humpty " good video Martin 👍
"That's a sewer overflow and you can almost taste it" UGH---to much info. (15:54) Martin, how could YOU lose the Medlock???? Just thinking: Maybe the Victorians bricked the Medlock to move the sewage, chemicals, trash and anything else dumped in it so the water would flow along quicker to the River Irwell? Your side by side maps are great, they really help tell the story. Thanks to the team for helping with the video.....
The sequel from last time, it remains fascinating Martin. Back then it was still a lot of manual work. That is a considerable amount of water through the overflow. Special story about your jacket, luckily found again.
We live in Cornwall and I've only been to Manchester once and that was to drop my daughter off to a Harry styles concert, whilst she was in there, me and my son took a drive to the Etihad stadium for a little walk around, can't believe we were basically on top of what you're showing us, I love this type of content, really opens your eyes to what's around you if you look.
A very enjoyable program, Martin. You'd got a good team with you, and there was some real good old riverside architecture on the way. It was very good of Roy to help you to get your coat back from the river, A real genuine man. From start to finish, smashing to watch - well, it's to do with Manchester, and another one of your Medlock goodies. Many thanks Martin, and keep well.
Wow bricks galore 🧱🧱🤩🤩. Not very practical but looks smart . That culvert is amazing ! Built the same as the egg shaped sewers so as the water rises the capacity increases , old engineering is so cool 😍😍🧱👍🏼

Say no more your words enough 👌
Well said, I'm gonna go make my coffee now lol that sounds fantastic

Was going to comment the exact same thing 😂 smooth fast running river prevents snagging of debris. That was their reasoning anyway 👍

Hi Martin, great work once again. I really love the way you give context with old maps and add old historic photographs. There is only one thing I missed: brew time 🙂
You had Brewboy with you, too! Glaring oversight.
and was it biscuits or cakes?
Brilliant video, brought a tear to my eye when you mentioned and showed photos of Bradford pit. My uncle worked there for donkeys years till it closed. Have a few pictures somewhere. If I find them, I'll send them over to your Facebook page!
I'm from California, I find your show absolutely fascinating. Thank you.
Almost Martin with zero coat. Thanks for another great video. All the best from Australia
Nice one 😄
Thanks for another great video Martin! It's always nice to hear the Medlock music. And, glad you got your coat back!!!
I would have been gutted if it had ended up going over a weir and being lost forever Ruth 😀
The further adventures of Martin’s coat, can’t wait for episode #2 lol One of your funniest lines “does your coat go off on adventures without you?”😂
Big shout to Roy the Fearless Explorer. Hope your coat washed ok, Martin. Great video as per. You, Roy and James make a great team.
I am so hooked on these amazing videos about the city I love. Faithful viewers look for critical things like who made the tea, and did James buy biscuits on clearance again! Lol Joshing aside, you all are doing something I love, honoring our past.

I've heard of garden gnomes going off on adventures, but this has to be the first coat making a bid for freedom. Glad you got it back.
Yeah I think the coat peaked too soon
So glad you caught your coat, what a super explore. Love the intro filming. Great time was had by all. So informative as well. Thank you for an amazing trip.
True , I get excited when a new post comes up. I'm like.. Hell yeah. Lay back because this Is going to be a Interesting video. Thanks Martin
I like your ressearch on every place you visit. Your films are just fantastic.

The river that keeps giving. Another brilliant episode guys, Sunday armchair time again, magic!!👍👍👍👍
That brick laying for that culvert was amazing done by proper tradesmen and it's rarely seen. Another informative video Martin a great watch 👍

This was a fun video, thanks Martin :)
loved this and the music that went with it .

A coat that goes on adventures without you...that's funny Martin! Glad you got it back.
Love the 'medlock' theme music, I'm still into my old trance music, this reminds me of the good old days.
Yeah its a keeper
brilliant martin and the lads totally enjoyable.

Great video again Martin & a very funny story about the lost jacket I couldn't stop laughing ☝😂😂😂😂
I couldnt stop crying 😄
Liked the moment when you were convinced the water was coming from the Bradford pit 😄
It's pure class - and as always a treat of a video.
Thanks 😊
Watching you on here and following you on insta for the last few years has given me an unnatural interest in waterways of Manchester haha, for a Middlesbrough born bloke I have a pretty comprehensive knowledge of the Rivers of Manchester thanks to you haha. Excellent vid.
Same, I live near Wolverhampton, but know a surprising amount about the rivers and culverts of Manchester!
That tunnel profile looks like they'd use for a railway tunnel, except the rail ones have ballast etc on the bottom hiding the invert.
That coat needs its own show. Imagine if it had a go pro attached to it!
That would of been cool actually
Fascinating as always, Martin.
Brilliant and interesting video lads and great you rescued your coat👍
Thanks Jay

Loved the side story of Adventure Coat; glad it had a happy ending.
Been a good few years since I've been through there. One of the easiest culverts to get into..Cheers for another great video 👍
I love that sound track that you use for the Medlock explores. Another interesting video, cheers Martin
Thank you
I look forwards to Sundays it helps me understand the area.
Great videos and you have great friends to go with you to explore these historic places.
Love a walk and explore with Martin , hope he gets around the West Midlands for an exploration soon , I’ve worked and been around the river rea in Birmingham all my life and would love to know more about it
Hi Martin. Thumbs up on another excellent video from you & friends.
I was pleasantly surprised you added more to the Medlock series👍
As mentioned in latter comments;
The brick gully was designed to take water away quickly at both low & average to high flows.
This was a two-fold design to take along silt & detritus with it.
You've mentioned yourself in previous videos how polluted the river was, so the fast flow even in drought conditions prevented foul sediments building up; they were effectively flushed through.
Secondly:
In higher flash-flood conditions the water has that huge open slightly sloped area to flood onto without causing damage to the side-walls.
Likewise, larger detritus would still get swept away & not cause a blockage or flood the land.
Anything too big left behind after water levels receded was easily removed out of the way manually.
I really love all your videos, it's your content that drew me into subscribing etc. on here on UA-cam.
'Really appreciated, thanks fella 👍
Mr martin hi … you always making my day… watching feels like family ☝️
One reason for the brick trough is , it prevents trees and debris snagging on things and creating a dam which eventually breaks and you get more damage from the sudden rush of water.
The sides prevent erosion and also give the water more places to go without causing damage.
The shape of the big humpty is common with hand dug tunnels that don't have any support. The shape supports itself. I dont know why they would use that design in a brick tunnel. Maybe they felt the earth wasn't strong enough and it needed more support.
Watched, liked ,commented, Hope all well with poor coat lol at least you found it again ;) Please just keep being you :) See ya next Sunday
Thanks Mr always appreciated 👍
Very interesting Martin and the lads! I wonder if the red river was made like that to get the water away as fast as possible under flood conditions.
