Hi Martin, the Mather and Platt gong was powered by water, when a sprinkler head went off, the supply to the spray head had to come up through the mains pressure feed pipe and in doing so it went through the black valve inside the stairwell, inside this valve is a spindle with vanes on and as the water passes over the vanes, it turns the spindle and the gong starts. 25 years in fire service and I managed to read all the early training manuals of Firemanship. Result.
Hi Martin Your getting a bit of a reputation . For the good reason I might add . Getting people to invite you into these wonderful buildings . Thoroughly enjoy your videos as I've said before . Any body reading my comments, know of a interesting building near Manchester invite Martin along so he can make a video of it . Keep up the fantastic work .
I bet fred dibnah will have worked on that chimney at sometime ... he felled most of the chimneys round there 90 in all in his life god bless him ... true hero and a legend ...
Oh Wow Martin, chuffed to bits that you got access to Victoria Mill. Thanks to Ricardo for showing you round. What a stunning building with such an unusual tower. It would have been a tragedy if it had been demolished. Now it's got a few more hundred years in it hopefully and has been put to good use. Many thanks for taking us round with you, really appreciate all the time and work that you put into producing your videos.
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos, my great grandfather Thomas Webster, a canal boatman on the Rochdale Canal, was living at 16 Victoria Street, Miles Platting, on the 1911 Census Record.
"The basement is actually below the canal.... bit terrifying if you live here" Me and the rest of The Netherlands:... not impressed;) Great video again
Once again, taking us to places we would never otherwise see. Thanks for the detailed explanation and historical photographs. Great video - thanks for posting.
Thanks again Martin for shedding some light on this Victorian gem - it certainly is a thing of beauty! Also thanks to Ricardo for allowing access for us to see👍🏻 Spot on mate!😁
So glad it's being used! I've lived in Oldham all my life and have seen far too many of these places knocked down! They need to be kept, amazing structures
@@johnstatham6490 For a school project in 2003 I stood on Holins Road right near where the Roxy cinema was and took a picture towards Oldham centre, I recall there being about 9 or 10 mills in the shot, I think there are only 2 of them left now. It's sad to see. I've been round a few with work, strangely interesting places.
OMG that was amazing, my hands were sweating when the drone was at the top of the chimney. Just imagine building it all those years ago, never mind getting some extra bricks in it, I would be thinking, that will do let's get down Great job Mr Zero
I'm once again gobsmacked at the sheer size and intricacy of this structure. I cannot imagine what a flat in there would amount to. What it would take to make that tower a part of the residence?Once again, you have taken into a place where few will ever get to. Thank you Ricardo for you permitting us the privilege of seeing this. And you Martin for your continual excellence in recording the history of your beautiful city.
@@MartinZero I lived in a flat in Victoria Mill from 2001 to 2016. The flats were massive, and at that time good value for money. Sadly ownership changed hands in 2015 and most of the one bedroom flats were converted to 2 bedroom, with the existing tenants evicted so that could be done - and the rent on all the flats tripled.
Love it, love it, love it. I can't really add anymore to what's been said but a big thank you to Ricardo for making it possible and to Martin for having the qdos to pull it off.
That's one grand building well worth saving. I've never seen a lantern room surrounding an industrial chimney stack before. It's beautiful and must be unique. Great to be shown around it in such detail. Many thanks to the both of you.
Absolutely brilliant video Martin. Transfixed while watching this. Music spot on too. Its great that the industrial heritage of Manchester can be transformed like this for continued use by both residents and industry alike. Thanks also go to Ricardo for allowing access.
Another great vid Martin brought back memories the mill opposite had a covered loading bay we used to sit there when it was raining. We called the loading bay The Stage!
Hi Phil, the loading area at my dads work (Sharston dairy) was also referred to as "the stage". It wasn't bays but one big raised area at truck bed height wrapped around the building. No safety barriers. I wonder if the term is still in use.
My gran lived on stanbury walk opposite the entrance, I grew up playing in the canal and exploring the mill when it was unused, scary scary place but a fascinating building, at 12 minutes you can see my grans old house.
Hi Martin. First time I’ve ever commented on UA-cam and that’s because your videos are so good. The Victoria Mill has always fascinated me as a lad from Burnage as the chimney and the viewing gallery could be clearly seen in the distance as you drove up Kingsway from East Didsbury. A brilliant landmark from miles away. Loving the enthusiasm that you put into all the vids. Would love to see some videos of South Manchester and I would love to see you do a video on the Alderley Edge copper mines. Keep up the excellent work.
Only just watched this video. Loved it. In the 1980's we lived in Higher Broughton and used to drive past the mill on our way to visit friends in Ashton. I always said to my wife 'I hope someone buys that mill and puts it to good use' I am so glad that they did. It was the chimney that caught my attention. 👍
You don't have a lot of cuss words getting up on the line of the looking over like that it was giving me the willies not a fever ICU but it was a brilliant video thank you again I always appreciate your videos always will keep up the good work my friend
What a fantastic building! That chimney design is mind blowing! Thankyou for showing it off so well, and a huge thanks to Ricardo for getting you in! I only found your channel a couple hours ago and im still "binge-watching" your videos!, but i'd like to ask you something... would you like to visit another Grade II* listed double spinning mill? Specifically, Leigh Spinners mill in Leigh, to the west of Manchester. Its a huge place and although it dosent have such a lovely chimney as Victoria Mill's, it does still have its full height one! Plus the original Yates & Thom twin horizontal cross compound steam engine, one of the largest ever built for a spinning mill and very close to being in working order! There is also a heritage centre, chock full of old textile machinery, photos, household items, industrial items ect! Its in the process now of being converted into a community/commerical/retail/heritage space, but there are still some empty, derelict parts, such as atleast one of the huge mill floors and the water tank room on Mill No.2's stair tower, but i'm afraid there is a ladder to climb to get up there! The view is awesome though, you can see the skyscrapers of Manchester easily, even though tbh i've been too Chicken to go up there yet! I'm just a volunteer in the heritage centre of the mill, but the trust that runs it are always looking for people to come round and see the building and show it off! (especially now that Mill No.2's stair tower has been spruced up on the outside!) Its such an important building, being one of the last large spinning mills to be built(Mill No.2 is dated to 1923) so i'm sure you'd be very very welcome! Thanks again for producing such brilliant videos! I thought i had learnt a lot about Lancashire's industrial past, but watching your videos has tought me so much more!
@@MartinZero I'm glad you think so! :) If you'd like to visit, its fully open every Saturday from 10am till 12 noon (usualy later in reality)and the enterance is off a little street called park lane, off of Manchester road, WN7 2LB I'll try message you on facebook :)
A great video. Chipping Norton Mill is now also apartments. We locals call Chipping Norton...Chippy by the way. The mill was built in 1872, 12 people were killed in the construction.
Hi Martin, Love the music mate. Fab vid, the drone brings some brill features. I'm well gel of your access to that mill. I deliver to mills and over the years gained access to quite a few, Werneth ring mills, Manor mill, Butts mill, Bolton textile mill, gorse,rugby,ram and Pear Mill in Stockport. You should visit it, there are stone and copper pears on the lintel and roof parapets. The roof of Victoria mill ( like many others) held water for the boilers and the down spouts were overflow which usually discharged into the mill pond or lodge as they were sometimes known. I could go on. Love your work.
Wow what a treat to be able to see this so close up. Another brill video Martin. Just imagine how awful it would have been if the gorgeous Victoria Mill had been lost forever to the bulldozers back in the 70s/80s. Really goes to show that our councils or the owners of what's left of our social/industrial/cultural heritage have to ensure that no more of it gets lost.
Nice one Martin and thanks to Ricardo for getting us all access to that amazing building . That brickwork was top notch . Arches are difficult but arches in a round wall are next level craftsmanship 👌🏼. As you were leaning over that parapet to film that amazing crane I was shitting myself sat at my kitchen table 😳🤯. Another superb video pal thanks for sharing 🧱👍🏼
Martin Zero 😂😂😂. Don’t know if you’ve been to Liverpool yet but after you do the tunnel tour have a wander round the Albert dock . The original brick and stonework there is out of this world . Especially believe it or not downstairs in the Tate gallery by the lockers and inside the toilets ( maybe keep the camera in the bag in there ) 😬😂😂.
Stunning building and so glad that it’s still in use today! I pass this building often and always look over to the chimney as there are fewer and fewer in Greater Manchester nowadays! Thanks for posting ❤
Simple beauty. In 100 years how many videos will there be about industrial buildings built today? None. Wonderful building and video Martin! Thanks Ricardo!
Cheers RIcardo for letting us see a view of this fantastic building, I hope more people like Ricardo will offer exclusive access to rare buildings to you Martin.
Looks like George Woodhouse could go down in history as the first architect to make a useful Foley- by driving a chimney through its center & propping it against a mill! LoL! ;) Thank you again for sharing your work :D
I don't know why I didn't watch this video yet? I love this building, spent a long time around it, watching from the canal, or from the playground next to it, even been inside once to check out a flat to rent, actually, next to the crane!!
Wow what an awesome video, I love how you find out as much as you can about the history behind the each n every location you bring to us! Very much appreciated that you share with us AND thank you SO SO much for facing you fear of heights just to get that shot! Cheers from Canada

Jim ferry same here, I went to primary school across the road
Yeah Love the place
"The basement is actually below the canal.... bit terrifying if you live here"

Ooops sorry 😁
My apologies 😊
@@MartinZero Don't apologise, Pal, you are a Northerner!!! Say what you want kid, it's your video. It's gret.

What a great thing that this is kept and in use.Great.
Yes lovely Building John

Thanks Ricardo, and thank you so much fro getting me in there 👍🏼
Love the music mate
Thanks Corey
Do you compose it, Martin?
I too love the music.
It just makes the video like perfect match for the drone footage was just a pleasure to watch
Its surprising just how much greenery there is in Manchester centre!
Yeah it took me by surprise
Another great one for the books! Thanks for all your efforts brother! Great Video
Thank you Lee
And yes a big thank you to Ricardo for inviting you into that wonderful building .
Thanks Paul
Great video Martin. The stair case wrapped around the chimney is outstanding similar to a church tower. True craftsmen built that place.
The latern reminds me of the nearby prison
Yeah its a joy to look at
Brilliant video Martin I was surprised how much green space there is in Manchester 👍🏻
I must Admit Mark its not till I see it from above I realised that
That was incredible I have never seen a chimney like that before. It is also good to see the building being put to use.
Thanks Robert

Yup its actually a good looking building Geraldine 😄
brilliant as always. great views from the roof and the tower . I like Ricardo's flat top too.. :-) very becoming
Ha great stuff, Yes I could deffo sit in that tower and have an hour up there
This actually left me speechless. We need more people like this in the world. Willing to invest and protect historic buildings.
Thank you very much
Live mile from Manchester right down on the south coast, but got a real feel for the place , another first class film many thanks
it's grim up north mate, but we really are salt of the Earth ;) and so are you bloody southerners ;)
Thanks very much Robin
What a superb video.
Much appreciated 👍🏼
Excellent video Martin. Thanks
Thanks Steve
Work of art!

Amazing. I love those windows. I'd probably sit for hours looking out over Manchester!
Me as well Jen 👍🏼

Their was a pitt down the road at moston
Yes more than likely
Fantastic! That rotunda looks brilliant. Glad to see this building is being preserved.

waited for saturday Morning - and a cup of coffee -- 2 thumbs up - distinctive weaving mill and a canal and a ghost -- just the best

Yes it makes a good change
Excellent Martin. You fished your drone out or you purchased another one ?. Keep going riveting as always.
Thanks Clive, no fishing
Nice one Martin and thanks to Ricardo for getting us all access to that amazing building . That brickwork was top notch . Arches are difficult but arches in a round wall are next level craftsmanship 👌🏼.
