I LOVE all of your videos no matter the subject or length! You are a supreme story teller and videographer. Thanks for your dedication and hardships to bring us along. I for one am grateful!
. MARTIN.. At 4:26.. Can you FEEL the draft through that gap you're both stood at.? And, how 'powerfull' is it.? LOVE THE VIDEOS🥰. KEEP 'em COMING🥰🥰. RICH 🥰🥰.
Sunday evening ritual and remainder of shamful britan history ,build on slavery and theft . you dont think those wore build by hard working british vilage people. quarry stop working when slaves forbiten in uk
The remains of the buildings in the quarry (and I love the dressed stone on such a utilitarian structure) look like the winching and brake gear for an inclined railway - I've seen similar, in slate mines, but nowhere near as large. The simplest were gravity operated - two tracks, a wagon on each, and both connected by a steel hawser, which ran round a capstan, and was free running. The wagon was loaded at the top, the brake was let off the capstan, and the wagon ran down the incline - there was some control, the capstan being geared, or having several turns of hawser around it. The descending full wagon's weight caused the empty wagon to ascend. Repeat ad infinitem. This system was used in the last war in the underground ammunition dumps in South Western England. At least one ran away, causing several tons of live ammunition to crash into a gallery full of thousands of tons of live ammunition. How it never all went off, is a miracle. Great video, as always. I'm so envious of the countryside round where you live. I love Suffolk, but it's so damn flat!
Thanks once again for another great video. The area of the quarry you were looking at at 6.46 into the video is where the winding gear for the inclined plane was installed. The tubs would have been loaded and gone down the incline by gravity (pulling the empty tubs up at the same time. Obvioulsly the speed of the loaded tubs had to be controlled and this would have been done by the winding gear at the top of the incline. The iron inserts in the stone work carried the shafts of the winding gear. At 7.44 what you are showing is the lower half of one of the winding gear shaft bearings, the heavily corroded bolts sticking up from lower half would have secured the top half of the shaft bearing, Once again great work, many thanks for all your efforts.
On the "incline disused" they would of had two wagons on a cable, and the gravity weight of stone would lowered one and raised the other, with a spindle break mechanism at the top.
I agree with this, was just going to mention it, you can see what would have been the bearing housings for the shaft, the recess at the side may have contained the brake wheel.
I agree with the inclined plane idea as if you're loading big stone blocks you can't have a horse drawn wagon down that gradient and it is a technology used a lot for a long time before and after that period.
Spot on with that answer they had to get the stone to the road to transport it so the used the method you describe that way they didnt need power to drive it just its own momentium all the way down the slope wich at one time would have had tracks for the waggons to run on, the stone would have been used on house building ,dry stone walls etc etc
I left Yorkshire 15 years back..watch your video from aus make me so homesick, its like a different planet.. That punch face stone in the quarry is amazing, glad its still around
after watching to the end and hearing the hassle you went through to not film something interesting, my respect for the work you do to bring us fans informative videos has somehow managed to increase. i didnt think that was possible. i already think youre the greatest. cheers from Australia. 👍
Been watchin your videos now on the lockdown & got to say, really do enjoy listening to you & where you go on your travels, Yes, i have days when things dont come together, not to many to mention i might add, but if i ever do have one, then i stop what i am doing & wait five minutes, do nothing, & start again, this puts you in a different place to where you were in time from where you were, also you can collect your thoughts & think more clearly, looking forward to your next video, take care, Chas,,, Brum.
Them remains at the top of the incline at the quarry with the half cup probably held a shaft that was part of a winding wheel for a wire rope to lower stones down the incline, usually a sort of double rope so that the heavy wagon of stones going down pulled up an empty wagon or two going up. Great video ! I love old industrial remains
I love it up on Marsden moor. Once you get up there you forget about the stress of life and you can just appreciate the landscape and what’s around you for a few hours. There’s all sorts of interesting stuff like this up there, you could spend a lifetime trying to find it all.
My family is from Oldham, I’ve visited twice in the last 3 years. Can’t wait to visit again. Martin, love your accent, reminds me of my dear late dad. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the background of your explores,to me that makes the final result all the better. Mate! I hope Manchester knows what it has in you! Have a pint for you certainly earned it.
Thanks for that Martin, your short video was just lovely. The scenery was just gorgeous. I also enjoyed you telling us about your trip. I must admit I had a bit of a laugh. It’s so funny you saying about a two and a half hour trip being long here in Australia 🇦🇺 we will do that without batting an eyelid. Now with your next video being railway related I know it will be fantastic. Thanks so much for taking me along and please stay safe and take care
Many thanks Martin and James. By gum lad it's bleak out on that moor! I never tire of watching your Standedge Tunnel And engine house on the moors videos. Absolutely wonderful stuff. Hope all goes well with your next adventure.
So interesting to see the moor over Standegde Tunnel, watched a few canal boaters go through it, the mind boggles at the work involved to build it. Thank you Martin and take care.
Wow Martin! I enjoyed your vid about the quarry. Looking forward to the Wild Wild Wood and railway related place. Took me back a few to my childhood fave story Wind In The Willows. Thank you for your and your mates bravery, you make my day everytime I watch your vids. Love to all.
Enjoying all Martin. .I really appreciate your time and effort to ensure that all your viewers see beautiful places of time gone by.i hope that the weather was kind today for you...
Short and sweet, wonder what it was like back in the day,.The Moors are very thought provoking, the weather plays a big part to the atmosphere, looking forward to next week's video..
Great micro video Martin, that cast iron object set into the stonework at the incline head was a bearing box to allow the winding gear shaft to pass through the stone wall, they housed the top and bottom bearings and the spindle you mentioned was all that remained of the bearing securing bolts.. These iron boxes were more common in mills where the line shafts passed through the internal walls...
Hi martin and james, what an incredible view and it's also a great place to skywatch. I hope you managed to get back to your railway part 2 trip . An adventure to remember from the sounds of it ! Have a great week. Thanks for sharing 🔴🟡🟢
No need to apologize sir that was a great video, so good to see you revisit the standedge canal. Whenever I want chills down my spine I go back and watch your Redbrook Engine house vid. Then skeletons and an enchanted forest...this is great stuff!
Back-end of nowhere always sounds good! I believe we were witnessing an example of Bernoulli's Principle as the condensation formed in the low pressure zone created by the wind blowing over the top of the tunnel airshaft! Cool! Always enjoyable, thanks.
Another excellent video Martin. The moors look amazing and nobody cares that is was a short video. Really enjoy your way of presenting and love the historical and industrial aspect of your content. I really hope to visit your neck of the woods one day from down here in Australia. Thanks for you great videos mate
More of the Moors! I like how you could see the steam or condensation coming out of one of those air shafts! What beautiful scenery! Everywhere in Canada is a long drive, so i know what you mean lol
Thanks Martin for another very interesting vlog to historic places that I've never been to and I can't wait to see the next one. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thanks for the update on the mill Martin, seems I have a bee in my bonnet over that building, prob from all the good vids you did on it before demolition started.
No apologies necessary. If those mill buildings were more urban they hopefully would be protected structures.. I look forward to more historical info and pictures of the quarry. Excited about your upcoming railway explore.
Thanks for another great video Martin. Im currently watching all your videos from the begging while I'm at home with corona virus. Keep up the good work and stay safe mate👍
I hear the Moors, I think of An American Werewolf in London, the villager telling them to stay off the moors at night. In the daylight they are very impressive. You have to start bringing camping gear with you so if it gets late, you can stay overnight, instead of walking all the way back
I think we have all been there... Set off too late, it looked close, but when you get there, the route you had in your head wasnt a passable route, or cant find it. (no GPS in the old days) The boy scout kicks in.. I always carry a shelter, stove, food n water. etc... Then when that happens, I'd just pitch up and make camp. Rushing back on fading light is how accidents happen. Ive spent a fair few adhoc nights on the moors 20 - 30 years ago. Im the wrong side of 50 now. Far better at planning, but I still carry the kit, more as a just in case.
Great quarry to explore with Bronze Age history nice one you find some great places. We are all looking forward to next weeks video now to see how you went on looking for this railway related place in the back off now where I guess we will see in next weeks video if you found the place or not. Stay safe.
OMG, OMG, OMG 😮 ... you went to the quarry! 💞. No need to apologise to me - this is a *brilliant* video. What a fantastic place, and how amazing with the Bronze Age link and the plant fossils. I wonder if those metal brackets held a mechanism for a gravity-fed truck system? I've loved this, seeing all those amazing cut/dressed stones just left there. I can't even begin to think what it must have been like to work there with the weather. Do you think the stones were used in the tunnels when they were being built? Maybe lowered down the shafts? I have absolutely loved this video. I can't believe you went there! 😍. This has made my day to actually see it 💞
Well done to the drone pilot under those conditions. I'm intrigued by the Ilkley milestone, is this a clue to the trip to the wild north? The dressed stone blocks at the top of the incline would be for an engine. The iron boxes in the walls were for bearings for the shafts to drive the pulleys and the semi-circular object is the bottom half of a bearing with the remains of the bolts which held the top half. These iron blocks would have had brass liners. On the left and right before the engine bed are the remains of loading docks. There is a similar inclined plane at the old quarries at Facit near Whitworth.
Sorry to hear about your long trip started to late , reckon your enthusiasm gets the better of you sometimes. lol . Looking forward to the second attempt sure it will be top notch as always. Tony from Australia
evening martin ,always great content and(the original vlog you did on the railway tunnels last year i think it was inspired me to go and look at them over lockdown (june ,july ) there were impressive then i went through marsden and made my way back home .
My Grandfather was the Quarry Manager at Titterstone Clee Hill in the early 1900's. Abandoned long ago for a fresh hill-top half a mile south, still working. You can see easily see the old quarry buildings on Google Earth. I need to go and have a good wander around some day, as it's not closed off. All the men in the village worked in the quarry and there's a straight path from there up to the works.
@@2H80vids It is, but the bonus is the workers village is called Bedlam. Put Titterstone Clee Hill in Google Earth and it' puts you right over the old quarry.
Interesting little find. Those steelworks set into the stone. They almost look like a bearing housing with the top section missing. Wonder if there was a "jib" of some sort that was raised and lowered for filling the wagons. It would crtainly be interesting to have a look around there with a metal detector.
Wow what a very interesting place that is, id love to try the metal detector there, I guess getting a permission to do so would be difficult. There would be allsorts of treasures there, coins of all eras, buckles, tools, you name it. Love your vids. Brilliant 👏
Wow! Interesting content for sure! - I have driven past this quarry many times with the standedge air shaft in the foreground. I would say there was either an aerial ropeway, or a horse carriageway to transport the stone down to the local road. The holes in the wall, look like either a conveyor shaft, with a drive for a steam engine. The other end, (the idler ) being more freestanding, and capable of tensioning the belt or rope.This will have been probably wood, and has not survived. You can still see the bottom cap of the bearing, and some studs to hold the upper cap of the bearing, still located in the housing. The stonework probably provided a small site office, and possibly a live in caretaker to prevent stone thefts! I like how they have partially carved out a despatch bay, and partially rendered it in stone cladding. This will have been useful to make the stone cappings round the airshafts. In preference to importing quarried stone from elsewhere! As to the rambling story, it is riveting, when you have all the footage, the shots and the data you need you will be able to tell the story. For now I like the suspense. Thankyou!
amazing video martin as usual, thise little square holes in the stine work used to house a drum fir a winch system that lowered wagons down the tram way i remember going up there in school for a day out..massive 5hank you for the little clip of hartford mill its sad to see it as it stands spent most of my childhood in there and now live in birmingham thank you for all rhe footage youve already putbout about it im glad the chimney is still standing its an amazing view looking up from the bottom of the inside if in back in manchester before its gone ill see if the entrace is there still and get you in if you want you was so close to getting in on the video you did of it if youd of gone to the next doorway in the ild boiler room you could squeeze through a fox used to live in there
Hi Martin. It was short but sweet this week, but as always, very interesting too. Looking forward to seeing the results of your second trip the "Arse end of nowhere". Stay safe!
No worries bout this week's video Martin,at least you went up to the quarry again which was interesting if you had a metal detector you might of found summat like them bowls you showed in the video,next week should be worth the wait,this video was good keep up the good work stay safe mate 👍
You seem to find the most intriguing places. You put a lot of effort into your videos, really enjoying your work.
Thank you Elliot and Joe

For being quite barren and stark, the moors are still a beautiful place. Thank you!
Yes your right John. I find them intimidatingly beautiful
No apology required, and more great stuff ahead, by the sound of it. Enjoyed this one... thank you.
Brilliant as always, I can't believe you don't teach for a living . You're enthusiasm is so infectious, all power to you sir 👍
Thanks very much Karl
Here in the USA we’re in tumultuous times. Really appreciate the trip away. Great video to enjoy when out of the cold & wet with a hot cup of tea.

What look like bearings are just that. It was a wheel pit
Similar to the slate quarries in Wales. There is a renovated one in the quarry above Lake Padarn in Llanberis.
I left Yorkshire 15 years back..watch your video from aus make me so homesick, its like a different planet..
That punch face stone in the quarry is amazing, glad its still around
I love Sunday evenings and watching your vids, they are so interesting, thanks Martin xx

Ok deffo we will sort summat soon
This and the other viaduct video are again a joy to see Martin👌🏻👍🏻
The shots of the forest at the end are amazing!
Yep, pretty place, despite the weather; looks very Borders(ish) area.
That's the way it is Martin and what makes it all worth it. Your videos and content are superb.

Thank you Maggie, yeah this place I go is very windy in the willows 😀
No apology needed, still worth watching. Looking forward to the railway related arse end of nowhere production!
Once again a great video Martin.. one day I hope to visit your historic country.
You have just set up the next video with an interesting story and we wait with anticipation! Great Video!
Cheers video uploading now

I love the moors. Nothing like them. Wild and free. ❣❣
I’ve been to this place before, it’s beautiful, and has an amazing view
Its a good trip out is Pule Hill but i am really looking forward to going to the arse end of nowhere. Thanks again martin. 🙂🐶🐶🐶
Love your comment Sarah. I read it with a Manchestarian (is that even a word??) accent and it just made my day.
Arse end of nowhere today was a success Sarah

Really lookin forward to it Martin, love the channel.

As you say short, but informative and the views were great.
Great video Martin! Absolutely no apologies needed. I’ll be looking forward to seeing next weeks instalment 😁👍🏻
Just discovered you this week , very interesting, I will have to watch more!
I reckon that the two iron fittings you saw had an axle with a cable wheel in the centre for pulling up the tram car
I agree some sort of pulley
I hear the Moors, I think of An American Werewolf in London, the villager telling them to stay off the moors at night. In the daylight they are very impressive. You have to start bringing camping gear with you so if it gets late, you can stay overnight, instead of walking all the way back
That film was shot not far from me on hay bluff
Stick to the path you’ll be alright lol
Don't think Martin likes camping much 😂
Anne Forster they must just take ready to eat food with
Yes but when there are werewolves you have to elongate the word to "mooooars". Keep away from the mooooars at night, there's sommat up therr.
I think we have all been there... Set off too late, it looked close, but when you get there, the route you had in your head wasnt a passable route, or cant find it. (no GPS in the old days)

You can see easily see the old quarry buildings on Google Earth. I need to go and have a good wander around some day, as it's not closed off. All the men in the village worked in the quarry and there's a straight path from there up to the works.
"Titterstone Clee" ~ what a great name !! 👍👌😁
@@2H80vids It is, but the bonus is the workers village is called Bedlam. Put Titterstone Clee Hill in Google Earth and it' puts you right over the old quarry.
well done martin that was great but hard work i think for you take care all the best from trev and Chris down south xx
Yeah its bleak up there. thanks a lot
Short but sweet , looking forward to next weeks mystery video 🤔👌🏼👍🏼🧱
Cheers guys
@@MartinZero 🧱👍🏼
As usual well worth the watch
Interesting little find. Those steelworks set into the stone. They almost look like a bearing housing with the top section missing. Wonder if there was a "jib" of some sort that was raised and lowered for filling the wagons. It would crtainly be interesting to have a look around there with a metal detector.
I definitely think some kind of pully thing for tubs/ waggons
Wow what a very interesting place that is, id love to try the metal detector there, I guess getting a permission to do so would be difficult. There would be allsorts of treasures there, coins of all eras, buckles, tools, you name it. Love your vids. Brilliant 👏
Which begs the question. Can you just not go up there and do it sneaky ?
@@MartinZero i would if I could but I could never do that haha
Wow! Interesting content for sure! - I have driven past this quarry many times with the standedge air shaft in the foreground. I would say there was either an aerial ropeway, or a horse carriageway to transport the stone down to the local road. The holes in the wall, look like either a conveyor shaft, with a drive for a steam engine. The other end, (the idler ) being more freestanding, and capable of tensioning the belt or rope.This will have been probably wood, and has not survived. You can still see the bottom cap of the bearing, and some studs to hold the upper cap of the bearing, still located in the housing.
The stonework probably provided a small site office, and possibly a live in caretaker to prevent stone thefts! I like how they have partially carved out a despatch bay, and partially rendered it in stone cladding.
This will have been useful to make the stone cappings round the airshafts. In preference to importing quarried stone from elsewhere!
As to the rambling story, it is riveting, when you have all the footage, the shots and the data you need you will be able to tell the story. For now I like the suspense. Thankyou!
Thanks very much
amazing video martin as usual, thise little square holes in the stine work used to house a drum fir a winch system that lowered wagons down the tram way i remember going up there in school for a day out..massive 5hank you for the little clip of hartford mill its sad to see it as it stands spent most of my childhood in there and now live in birmingham thank you for all rhe footage youve already putbout about it im glad the chimney is still standing its an amazing view looking up from the bottom of the inside if in back in manchester before its gone ill see if the entrace is there still and get you in if you want you was so close to getting in on the video you did of it if youd of gone to the next doorway in the ild boiler room you could squeeze through a fox used to live in there
Oh yeah I almost went in but it was filthy. I needed a boiler suit
@@MartinZero yeah its very sooty in there could do with a sweep haha
Hi Martin. It was short but sweet this week, but as always, very interesting too. Looking forward to seeing the results of your second trip the "Arse end of nowhere".
Stay safe!
Cheers Mike. I may have overhyped it now 😀

6:39 in the left gap was obvious a chain spindle and on the right a large gear to connect the drive shaft of a steam engine to it.
Thanks Ruben
