A Steam Powered Engine house on the Moor

In this video we visit Redbrook Engine house. It is an old steam powered engine house on the Moors. Redbrook housed a Newcomen steam engine that was used for pumping during the construction of the Standedge canal and railway tunnels. The longest canal tunnel in Britain. Inside are two deep shafts we lower a go pro into them. This is a historical documentary about British history video and a scary urbex video. I love to go urban exploring and find these abandoned historical buildings. We are out on Marsden Moor in the Pennine Hills. This building is grade II listed and is over two hundred years old this is a very historical building.

God, there is something so damn eerie about those tunnels and shafts. I felt it when I watched the one on the Standedge tunnels and I felt it in this one. Absolutely fascinating as well, all that brick work in the shaft and still in pretty good nick even after 200 years. It boggles the mind, and I never knew anything about it when I lived there. Thanks for making these fantastic films.

@brianartillery 5 жыл бұрын

Those regular square holes are where the shaft builders' platforms would be placed - usually a steel ring would be used to keep the diameter constant. They'd dig within it for a metre or so, and then brick the walls, leaving the bricks supported on the ring, and then move down, bit by bit. Those holes will be every six feet or so. Great video. I take it that this is what the ruin with the sinister 'well' in it would have originally looked like.

@MartinZero 5 жыл бұрын

yes probably I think its an incomplete shaft 👍🏼

@brianartillery 5 жыл бұрын

In the panoramic shot at 05:15, it looks like there are two more big structures on the hillside in the distance, directly in line with this one - or is that my imagination, or are they the tunnel vents you visited earlier?

Yes that poly rope is deceptively heavy in bulk, as you found out, and it doesn't wear well if it gets damage - good move to bring the rig back up when you did. Maybe the big fella will drop a small winch down the chimney tonight for you, ahead of the next trip - pot of vaseline to grease the edge where the line goes over might be handy too, if you weren't already doing that. Look forward to the next adventure - never a dull moment in your clips!

Hi Martin, great video. In the mid 1990's the engine house was having remedial work carried out on it and was surrounded in scaffolding, I climbed up the scaffolding and down into the engine house, like you I peered down those shafts, very scary ! I dropped a few rocks down but small rocks didn't make any noise so I dropped a large rock down and it took about 20-30 seconds before you could hear the rock hit the bottom, very deep shafts.
