3:25 That's some serious amount of digging. You think you know a place and then... Thank you for this fascinating vid. Churz The 70s film you both mentioned is called The Hidden Source ~ St. John's Conduit and is equally a good watch but only ten mins or so.

Lovely video. Culver Street name could be derived from 'culvert street". Colston Hall was renamed Bristol Beacon in September 2020. Water used to flow constantly from the spout on Nelson Street. There was no tap. Perhaps construction of the newish sewer that passes through or near Trenchard Street car park had something to do with this.

You are brave man!

Lots of pipes today! There’s the Redcliffe pipe too, which is a mediaeval conduit from the springs in Knowle to where St John Baptist hospital was in Redcliffe. I don’t know if any of that is accessible but it’s another excuse to come back to Bristol 🤣 Is the Raven conduit part of the Temple pipe which runs from the Totterdown springs to Temple Street? Looking at a map I think it could be?

A great video, local history is always so interesting!

On Park St there’s little markers labelled St John’s Conduit on the pavement. They’re quite small, only the size of the small squares tiles… mush smaller than the manhole covers!

Might want to go in the way you exited because otherwise it is indeed the hands and knees job. Looks like a very interesting network of tunnels. I did see the previous video. Yeah I'm up for coming at a time that's suitable Dave.

You do choose these places lol. Well done Dave

Love this little church . There was a tramp who used to sleep in there in the summer and a barn up the road in winter . He was in his sleeping bag once when we entered and he couldn't apologise enough and said he would leave so we could enjoy the peace . I said no worries please stay and he told us all about the history as we had a cuppa and a sandwich with him 🙂 Rumor has it that the local authorities tried to house him but he just preferred the out door life . Sad to say that he passed away .

Those Pears... could they be Quinces ? I've tasted Quince wine before, unusual but in a good way. Unfortunately they wont grow in East Durham.

I think pear trees where brought over by the Romans? Certainly around in Anglo Saxon times as a few charters mention them oddly.

Wikipedia...? Thanks but no...!

So, theory. - Everyone uses a key stone/post - then the direction of your village or community you use a second post - this provides a route to get you to your destination. The further out the post you use - the further the travel distance. Think of henges as 'roundabouts' for travellers. Main posts more permanent posts/stones indicate the next henge for more 'refined' directions when you get closer, using main stones/posts for henge to henge requirements. Using the sun and sticks etc - you can recalibrate if the journey is over days. Larger henges uses for main routes, temporary wooden henges for directions when you are closer to the destinations or have no need to use henge to henge travels.

In Raunds Northamptonshire they found a wood henge, it now has massive ware houses on top Older than stone henge

Hey Dave and Josh, Hope you're keeping well.

But stones can't be carbon dated. Maybe they just guessed.

nice video thanks !, i absoulutely agree with you cant do with people leving their rubish behind ! , the main local guy who comes often to clean after other peoples graffity and rubish is called Bryan, he was exarcebated with the ammount of vandalism taking place in there ! { I dont know what kind of brainless individuals would basically shit on their own industrial heritage } 😥, the arrows on the floor are placed by exploirers trying keep tracks on the way around the mine , i dont aprove of them but is better than ones drawn on walls ! at 17:28 someone must have attemped to draw something using the Sut of a candle , just as the miners did , but had they used a horizontal projected carbide flame they might have a achived it as the old miners did ! thanks for the tour buddy

"Where they wood have been..." (I see what you did there!) Ha ha 😂

Yep I think you’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head Yeovil was a great place 40 years ago like so many other British towns…

There are no substantial villages/towns near enough to Seaton Junction- it was just the interchange for the Seaton branch, so its purpose disappeared with the branch’s closure. That has saved it from being turned into an industrial estate/housing/a supermarket site, and the regular service past it makes it less attractive as a dwelling.

Vegetable farm.

I bet the souls there would have lots to say

Interesting-thank you

What happened to the lodge? Got hammered in there once drinking steins of Guinness

Hi yuh 🖐 Where abouts are you based? I know the feeling of solo explores when you've got no one to tag along with.

Funny that Clapham bit came up on video,I done one of my local ones today and mention lower Clapham junction....those stone mines are a nightmare to get bearings, I got confused in local tin mine today and I've been in 3 times previous lol

You should mark your way do whatever you can to mark your route even draw a map of the place while walking in there. Do anything you can to mark your way can't always trust the arrows

Am I lovely? No, I won't tell you the truth. I want you to think the best of me.

Ha you went back awesome

I guess if we're seeing this video then we know you made it. :)

The birds in this 😂 your reaction

Oddly enough I know someone called Rebekah guppie

Agrh you found tweedle de an tweedle dumb, I found them a few months ago,

Loved it that rope swing I was on was about 20 years old The one you went on was there about 13 years

Not to old Dave 😅 well done on your video's looking forward to seeing more #onit

😂

Interesting place guys, I wonder if anything about it is haunted?

A main source of entertainment back in the 60s, usually we chose a river to swing over.

Totally enjoyed this -Take care 👍👍

Dangerous climb I have completed foolishly a few times-Well done

I'm glad you met your doppelganger.

Good you got company Dave, good video

Is that just open to the public? I'm surprised - it's a death trap! - imagine a bird flew at your head on those stairs! 😱

It was great. Loved it.

Totally enjoyed this second part I have walked some elements of this now you have inspired me to walk more of the area

Totally enjoyed this

Are the churches mainly closed when you go? Used to be a time churches were always open - not so much nowadays. That's a very well kept church.

cute sheep x

Things change - maps get out of date so quickly.

It's surprising how quickly footpaths overgrow if not tended.
