Birnbeck Pier DANGEROUSLY COLLAPSING windy night visit

[@exohio]

Jess is a freaking soldier, she doesn't need any man to help her. I was getting vertigo just watching you all climb over in the beginning. A brave women she is.

[@Lee-eu6wf]

She's Not called Ninja Jess for nothing 😉

[@exohio]

@@Lee-eu6wf Matt is really brave too. He does some crazy stuff to entertain us. I can name a whole list of things he does that other explorers would never do. I think he's the one who motivates the other explorers the most. But we expect him to be brave because he's a man. It's not everyday you see a girl like Jess doing what she does, even better than a man can do it. She's inspiring to other women out there. Sam is a lucky guy. I hope to see them on more explores together. I feel like they complement each other very well, they take things more seriously, they are quiet, not loud and obnoxious as a group. They both pay attention to the details and the history. When the others are together, they sound like a group of kids running a muck (even though they aren't but they sure sound like it) they have too much 'fun', they ghost hunt too much and don't pay attention to the other finer details. They have a different audience I suppose.

[@davidbissaker390]

I'm sat here watching your content, and it's like watching something that should be on the television discovery channel. And this is all done by all of your own expense and expenses. Love your videos

[@sudosaurus]

I remember going there in the late 80’s when I was a kid! The large building at the end had old arcade machines in it and from what I can remember housed a lot of rolled up carpet. How times have changed. Thanks Matt for showing us what it’s like now. :) 👍

[@natashamc7824]

Fantastic explore, I love the fact you can see so many echoes of the past on this pier, very evocative of the times gone by.

[@neildelaney5199]

That was the best and most interesting adventure iv'e seem in a very long time, one of those "thank god someone recorded it before it was gone" type of moments, many thanks.

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

Amazing footage, and nice history lesson at 20:15 too. Also, this is the _only_ footage I've seen that shows the bathing pool at the end of the pier (bottom right, 0:30), which I remember seeing when I was a kid... We took the natural jetty approach at low tide.

Good work guys, love the powerful torch

1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth🥇👈👍

Nice explore, and the supports are called balustrade's!

[@cecoya]

Great explore and pretty interesting as well. So this used to be an amusement park of sorts. How wonderful. Stay safe and have a great day

[@PaulaXism]

Interesting. I have a photo of me on there in 1969. Round the back of the beer place they had an area with pedal cars.. guess what.. They were free and great. The steps at the end of the upper concrete went to a big slide thing. Don't remember if I went on that.. probably not being 3. My grandparents lived in Weston. Haven't been back in more than 50 years. Thanks for bringing back some very distant memories.

[@gaynor3976]

Thanks for all the risks you take Mr Vault to bring us nail biting content. Never been to WSM so never been on that pier. Judging by the photos it was bustling in its day with people and amusements. Thank-you xx

[@sarahburton3110]

Crazy explore guys. Awesome video. 😊

[@rwalker9644]

I saw love this pier and in fact this pier was the first secret valt video id seen Well done you lot cheers Rob

[@PeterBorenius]

Founded by two Scottish brothers, the firm of P&A Campbell originated on the Clyde but the operation was transferred to the Bristol Channel in the 1860s. From its inception, P&A Campbell dominated steamer travel on the Bristol Channel, both for tourism and trade between Bristol and South Wales. From the Hotwells Basin to the ports of Cardiff, Penarth, and Barry, the steamers of Campbell's were a regular sight.

[@adztaylor2277]

Crazy place. Glad you all got back safe you nutters lol. All the best.

[@davidbosankoe3759]

Nutters. Well done for getting the footage.

[@mrantcor1981]

Lovely explore Matt, looks very dangerous getting over to it

Interesting Matthew Thank you

[@Seat1AJoe]

Matt, as usual, your video has me glued to my monitor. Beautiful scenes. You take big risks so be careful. I’m happy to see Jenn and Sam.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Hello just watching just now sorry you had to re edit but well done looks like its gong to be great!

[@nikkiteresa5650]

Great explore! I really enjoyed it 👍

[@ThatChefGuyVr]

Wow the pier looks rlly cool. I've been researching on it and it was made in the late 1800s!

[@merlinpendragon88]

great footage, stay safe

[@LiMoNiZeR]

The thing at 9:00 is 100% a surveying prism. Like you said it's to see if the walkway moved. Somewhere on the land there'll be a nail in the ground where they'll set up a total station (theodolite). It's most likely that they'd either use a GPS prism to find out an accurate position on the total station or use prism with other nails in the ground which have known positions. Once the location on the total station is set up then like you said they'll shine a "laser" and be able to tell if it's moved and by how much. If I remember correctly, depending on the total station used the smallest measurements possible is something like a hundredth of a mm (also depends on how accurate the setup was).

[@Bucharestguidedtours]

Great Explore . I remember Adventure Game , just, I was about 7 or 8, Best wishes.

the waverly used to leave bristol and call at portishead clevedon and weston birnbeck and travel to barry island my trip was when i was 6yrs old some 62yrs ago

[@hahomy]

Matt I loved this video, loved seeing the old pictures and trying to work out what was still there and what it was, what a shame that's all that's left I'm from Southend which has the longest pier in the world have u been it's got a train going up it, live in Suffolk now, anyway great video👍 thanks for sharing 👍

[@martinsallenger5526]

Hi Matt very dangerous place to be in,but enjoying the video,looking at the old photos of the Pier it looks amazing especially the side shoot for the boat trip to pool,it's a shame to see it deteriorating away but like so many of the old piers around the UK the cost would be tremendous to save,with so meny losted forever sadly Birnbeck Pier looks like it's heading for the same way,nice to see Sam and jess in video thanks for sharing 👍

[@mikewright447]

that boat chute looks like one they used to have in blackpool , unlike the log flume where you are attached to a track all the time the old ones just fired you down a chute and just counted on the speed and boat shape to power you across the pond and a bloke used to i think either hook onto the boat or throw you a rope and drag you to the dock.

[@goliath6164]

Good explore Mr SVault! I salute you 🖖

[@MetroTitanD78]

The Bristol channel has the 2nd highest tidal change in the world and really does change lightning fast.

good video secret vault :)

[@nekosinner9177]

That plank bridge now has deteriorated almost as bad as the rest of the walkway.

[@traciejlbutler]

my profile picture is of Birnbeck Pier. Thank you Matthew. Last Time I set foot on that pier was in the 80s. However a lot of my videos are taken by Anchor head and generally feature Birnbeck pier. Been dying to know how it is now. Thnk you...... Much love

[@exploringharley]

Funny!!! Was watching a video from @DarkArtsTV right before this one. Sam and Jess were in that one as well !!! 😂

[@Pastàár]

“The toilets blessed” 🤣🤣

It was a good un this one. 👍

Yes cool video matt

[@DarthHeretic]

Brilliant explore, Matt. Be safe out there. That place looks dangerous as hell.

[@bjorngve]

I´ve been here before, a nice explore. Absolutely my kind of places. Windy, sea, derelict buildings, all you need. Did you notice the shadow like ghost, follow you around, maybe the soul of a drowned urbexer.

[@wagwanbennydj6003]

This pier is a madness!

I live in Weston and have fished birnbeck more than 25 times this is interesting to me because if this couldnt be filmed recently as the concrete underpass the breeze block walls that is like "Alcatraz" has long collapsed and I've built a toilet and a firepit in there with the blocks

[@ExpressoMechanicTV]

The Waverley is very much around. It comes to where I live, in Kent.

[@Malabus73]

Remember going on the pier in the 70's not sure when it closed.

[@TheThejpmshow]

Those barriers are there for a reason

[@insertpienow]

amazing spot.......is there any plans to resurrect it.....or are they just going to let it go down the toilet....

[@paulharvey9149]

I must have been on there in the 1980s, but can't remember anything about it - probably because the buildings were already largely boarded up and there wasn't much to remember! The PS Waverley certainly is still around the Clyde - I went on it to Rothesay a few years back. (Incidentally, everybody gets searched for alcohol before they board for the return journey, and any found is confiscated - although it doesn't make that much difference as everybody is usually pissed by then anyway - and some of them end up fighting and getting dragged off by the police at Helensburgh or Greenock!)

[@TheSecretVault]

Wow thats amazing to hear Waverly is still in use.
