Those little arched recesses are placed exactly on either side of the join/flange of the big pipes,presumably to give space to wield the tools should they require replacement or repair.
The spigot and socket joints in the spun cast iron pipes would require calking to be inserted into the socket prior to guiding in the socket and pulling the joint up tight.
I’m from Conisbrough and this video gives me loads of memories of when we used to take this route from end to end with tea light candles as adventurous kids before the days of games consoles! We would feel the cold under the ground and come out to the warmth whatever the weather. It’s known locally as the ‘mile tunnel, great video!👍
I enjoyed that. Those little Resseses in the brickwork, could've been to do with maintenance of the pipe joints, because from what I viewed they seemed to only be where joints in the pipework are, cheers.
Hi Ant, wow you are do brave going in that small tunnel,not great if you are claustrophobic or you hate spiders! I've been to Conisbrough so many times mainly to visit the Castle & never knew about this tunnel but obviously well known to the locals Nice to see your friends in the video enjoyed the banter! . ❤😊
Hello Ant. Greetings from Poland what a fascinating explore. How on earht did the builders of this extradinary tunnel construct it? It's so narrow and the pipe sections are so big and heavy. The brick work is incredible. Imagine being one of the workers. no thanks - not for me. A great film. Thanks to you and your friends for making the video.
Here in Tenerife there are hundreds of km of water tunnels like these in the mountains that lead to the water mines, most are closed off but there are quite a lot that are still accessible, a few still have the old tracks in place for the mine trucks that were used when excavating the tunnels.
Excellent video. My parents live in Warmsworth (a village near Doncaster) and they have a strip of protected land in their back garden which has a large metal panel which, when opened, leads down about twenty feet to a section just like this. We were told when we bought the house that it was the disused Thrybergh to Doncaster pipe and I was always intrigued what it would look like to go down and walk through the whole way but I never had the courage to go trekking through deep dark spider filled tunnels.
Just walking through tunnel is scary. Cannot even begin to imagine how unpleasant it would have been to be one of the workers who made it. Definitely don't want to emulate this explore. Oooh, scary!!! Seriously contemplated going to the next video.
LAAAAAADS I NEVER EVER KNEW YOUD TEAMED UP. My two very favorite y.t explorers. Presenting PROPERLYto the viewers. i CAN NOT stand any of the others. Hope its okto say that. I mean, I like a good laf, and things dont have to get technical to keep my interest peaked, And, i swear like a navi', But i do know how i like my local hostorical geography and exploration delivered, And you 3 guys bring it, every time. Looking forward to watching this. Its like, Knight Rider, wity guest appearance from Colt Severs. Or, The A Team featuring Body and Doyle. Bless yerz. 🙌🏻
Interesting video. I'm wondering if they had a little railway in place to run all the bricks and mortar in and the same for the pipework, then as they moved out towards the entrances they pulled everything out and bolted all the pipework into place.
Congratulations!! Not often anyone can get ALL my fears in one video. Clostrophobia. being underground, spiders, panic attacks,.... nevertheless, very interesting.
Martin Zero and Darren [Adventureme] explored an almost identical tunnel from Chew reservoir to the Swineshaw reservoir in the Dovestones area of the western peaks.
This video reminds me of a reoccurring dream /nightmare I had in my younger days where I was queuing up for school dinner in the hall way and as we got down the queue the corridor got smaller and smaller until we were in a very narrow tunnel with barely enough room to climb through, everyone else made it through fine, but I got stuck... I should probably keep away from tunnels like this 😄
What happened to Martin's mustache and beard???? What a fun walk to do on Halloween Night using candles and not torches/flashlights, fun times. Thanks for your hours of time and work.....
Always a challenge deciding to go in feet first or head first. Do you want to see what's ahead of you, but risk your face being eaten first, or go in feet first but blind to whatever is chewing your ankle???
Like previous comments, the arches are in line with the pipe joins but then further along there were no arches, the plot thickens🤔 At 12.28, why would anyone decide to bring a car brake disc with them, nowt so weird as folk!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I bet under them pipes is the remains of a narrow gauge tramway, no way where they carried In. I recon the recesses where there so fitters could turn their wrenches at the joints. Just a theory.

That's what I was just going to post as well.

That was a good day. Glad you found there was more to it 👍
I'll check it out soon enough hopefully 👍
Good to see you out and about with Martin and James on another great explore.

A beautiful sunny day to search the tunnel! Glad to see Martin and James! A good crew!
What a fabulous explore. Martin James and Yourself are a brave trio. Thank you for taking us with you. So interesting.
Great video, nice to see Martin and James away from their local patch (and you for that matter).

Hiya @ 10:16 - Yes it was 'Play School' where you went through different Windows - Round, Square & the Arch Window!!! 😉🚂🚂🚂

A great film. Thanks to you and your friends for making the video.
nice vid ant and the pleasure of martin and james as a real bonus
Great adventure and loved the still photos. Glad I was not in there as I found it very claustrophobic just to watch.
Nicely done, nice to see the other guys too.
Great explore Ant, i thought it was,Picture Book,with the differant shaped windows 😀 Martin looked like he was coming out of a Pizza Oven ,🤣 xx

Great explore. Very elaborate construction for a water main i must say, unless the pipe was added some time after.
Excellent video.

Oh wow well if they ever fancy letting me have a look.... 🙂😉
I have recently found a few more sections and it'll be on a video very soon

Definitely don't want to emulate this explore.
Oooh, scary!!! Seriously contemplated going to the next video.
Its nice to see such a Collaboration of explorers... The pipe is Old cast iron pipes bolted together .. prob 18th century...
Great spooky video. I love a good railway tunnel but that waterway tunnel you can keep. Thanks
LAAAAAADS
I NEVER EVER KNEW YOUD TEAMED UP.
My two very favorite y.t explorers.
Presenting PROPERLYto the viewers.

Ha love the reply Bob. We've done a few bits together now 👍👍
@@TrekkingExploration well i NEVER knew that.
❤
Well done guys excellent video
Thanks so much, all of you. What a fabulous hidden tunnel! Keep going, Ant - and don-t worry about the spiders!!
Great explore, as a sufferer of arachnophobia I’d have appreciated a warning prior to the spider close up though!
Interesting video. I'm wondering if they had a little railway in place to run all the bricks and mortar in and the same for the pipework, then as they moved out towards the entrances they pulled everything out and bolted all the pipework into place.
this is very cool find. enjoyed that !
Thank you. There's a follow up part 2 I put on around 12 months ago
Great video it always makes me wonder how long it took to do the brickwork on these places
Interesting venue.
Great clip as always. Good to see Martin and James again 👍
Thanks Phil 😀😀
No Spiders! Sounds like a dream explore. Now, if I could just get over the claustrophobia, I'd be set. 🤔
Congratulations!! Not often anyone can get ALL my fears in one video. Clostrophobia. being underground, spiders, panic attacks,.... nevertheless, very interesting.
Excellent video thanks 😊
Good video.
Haven’t Martin and James already been here and ir was that a similar tunnel?
Martin Zero and Darren [Adventureme] explored an almost identical tunnel from Chew reservoir to the Swineshaw reservoir in the Dovestones area of the western peaks.
Outstanding explore 👍, and I have to ask where do you find these places
Iv'e looked at those other 4 mounds on google maps and i think you are right. I hope you will take a look at them some point.
I was actually going back tomorrow but the forecast changed so I'll try next week. Thank you for watching
Interesting tunnel. 👍

I should probably keep away from tunnels like this 😄
Can you imagine how awful it would be, to have to build that?
Probably with picks, shovels and gas light 😔 There's a few others too I need to find
What happened to Martin's mustache and beard???? What a fun walk to do on Halloween Night using candles and not torches/flashlights, fun times. Thanks for your hours of time and work.....
Yep, arched, round and square windows in playschool and now the same in tunnels 😄
it might have been open-cast to start with then filled in as they went along.
Very enjoyable thank you much appreciated
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Always a challenge deciding to go in feet first or head first. Do you want to see what's ahead of you, but risk your face being eaten first, or go in feet first but blind to whatever is chewing your ankle???
How do you find places to explore? I'm interested in getting out to explore places like this. I'm 5 foot so I'd easily fit too haha
I must have missed something. Why didn't you continue on? It looked passable.
Looks very spooky 2 me
Like previous comments, the arches are in line with the pipe joins but then further along there were no arches, the plot thickens🤔 At 12.28, why would anyone decide to bring a car brake disc with them, nowt so weird as folk!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
HAHA how Martin was born "climbs out of tunnel"
Where abouts is this please
Conisbrough South Yorkshire
@ thought I had seen videos of this before don’t suppose you have any information for the entrance got a few places In return
9:02 9:07
Poor James
I bet under them pipes is the remains of a narrow gauge tramway, no way where they carried In. I recon the recesses where there so fitters could turn their wrenches at the joints. Just a theory.
I've slowly over time been uncovering more of this route and I'll be back there soon hopefully 🙂
Who would be daft enough to go down there and let fireworks off? Surprised you did not find a couple of skeletons!
I now own this tunnel
You done anything with it
You could have eaten that spider mate,protein do ya good
