Bristol LOST Victorian Underground Tunnels PEOPLE LIVED UNDERGROUND

People used to live underground in these tunnels. This is the first time these tunnels have been filmed for youtube and this is a small fraction of what is under the cities streets as a lot of these tunnels are now segregated off into sections under specific buildings but according to the legends of Bristol used to run like streets unter Bristol so that you could walk from one side of the city to the other. You can see many of the bricked up areas which would allow the tunnels to continue on even further than we can see here.
It was a real privellidge to be allowed to see this area of Bristol which very few have ever seen. Thanks to Sam and Jess for arranging this one. This is like stepping back in time to a very different view of an impoverished lifestyle that would have xisted a long time ago alongside the above ground Bristol that many got to see.
See also the vide onthe Bristol Obelisk here which goes into this in some more depth: • BRISTOL OBELISK - 20 y...
This video took a long time to come out because we asked if the people involved minded having their faces in the video but as far as I am aware we didnt get a reply, so to play it safe we blurred out the faces. However if those involved do get in touch to say they dont mind their faces beuing included we do have an un-blurred edition we could stick out.

I lived in the city for 15 years and the whole place is a rabbit Warren of tunnels like these as well as rivers and a former railway line at Redcliff Hill. I dont think anyone truly knows just how many there are and at I think Lawrence Hill they found the original road complete with a few old shop front hidden under the road when it was raised to allow trains to pass close by.

Investigate the moodflood and tartaria you are almost there

[@bristolmod]

Some of this is much older than Victorian. The Corn Street; St Nicks Market; Clare Street and all off shoots are riddled with these.

[@Sarah-bell]

people just have no clue as to what lurks under their favourite shops and their feet

[@juliahoyt3162]

Thank you for showing me that part of your world Matthew. That was very nice .

[@kellyb1420]

This was awesome guys!! Appreciate all your hard work you do for us!! Thanks!

[@DazGeary]

Thanks Matt Sam and Jess, some lovely views down there 😍. I could watch that drone footage with those tunes all day long.

[@martinsallenger5526]

Very interesting video Matt,lots of history you would never know what's under your feet

[@adoidpea4456]

That was really nice mate loved the talk through, smooth and interesting has I'm sure you Valter's will agree. *****

[@krisclayton6720]

I really enjoyed this. Love the music, you narrating, and beautiful architecture. I live in a 1890's home and it has a staircase like the one's here. It's very difficult to carry groceries up to much bigger things. Couldn't get a refrigerator up because the delivery men were afraid of damaging the stairway. The stairs are beautiful but can be difficult with daily life. But still beautiful.

[@TheGardener54uk]

Wow thats amazing Matthew you dont see stuff like this any more , you get alot of vandles wrecking stuff , but the details are brilliant

[@rondo122]

that is a great video, thank you so much for sharing!

[@TheAgTeam]

Nicely done with the aerial views and commentary down below. Cool choice of background music too

[@mattybigr]

Glad to see this one is back, a very interesting explore and hard to fathom how people lived in such cramped conditions. The air must've been fetid!

[@zerofox7347]

This is one of the most fascinating video's I've seen in a while, when I click on an underground tunnels explore this is exactly what I'm hoping for! Nice find bravo Matt! 🐸👍

[@64genoveva]

There is more to these ...see the moodfloods tartaria.. the orphanage instructions too many of them back in the 1800s everthing was founded then and stablished only by the rich n still going strong like whsmiths, sainsburys, and many more, the last reset 🌈🌈🌈🕵‍♀️🕵‍♀️🕵‍♀️🌈🌈🌈

[@scottybee8]

Nice seeing a old explore on the channel with Sam & Jess Always good seeing what’s underneath us I think Iv seen this explore before is this a reupload Matt? Very good information you give out like always Matt on explores I enjoyed the voice over

[@user-cr9zh2vf7s]

Is that the old eye hospital

[@billbrown5640]

just amazing. love these videos of underground Bristol. Some very unique places and shows how small quarters were back then before technology took over.

[@jvanhee71]

Proper Tartarian mud flood evidence throughout this place. Great video.

[@Loagun]

In my opinion this is one of the better videos I've seen so far not only on this channel, but on any of the urbex channels. This is the type of stuff that I would love to see. The mystery of why people were living underground I just find fascinating.

[@64genoveva]

Investigate the moodflood, people didn't live there as a suppose underground they were the ground floors streets and all ...They just cover them up all over the planet where ppl existed... same as all deserts are hidding old civilizations, cities are being buit on top other hidding our truth knowledge in many resets 🌈🌈🌈🕵‍♀️🕵‍♀️🕵‍♀️🌈🌈🌈

[@Anna-oo3yf]

Absolutely fascinating tour, atmospheric. ... much appreciated.

[@kernow..exp.]

Well what can I say mate fantastic video yet again

[@phatman3573]

Have you seen any of the old photograph collection of that area pre war......it was so different and up untill the fourties remained the same since the 1600s....a bit like Chester but on a grander scale...the Dutch house is what a lot of buildings looked like....great vid again Matthew 👍

[@un-_-known688]

Love the music much more professional rather than our last convo, love the new intro too very smooth and crisp

[@sarahburton3110]

Brilliant. What a place. Matt you’re a legend 😎

[@UrbanParanormalXplores]

Wow what a place would love to see this well done another great Explore very interesting place 👍

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Fascinating Matt, thanks for sharing. Andy UK

[@michaelmckernon9739]

The backside on Jess 😄😄 again excellent explore Matt, thanks alot.

[@chrisrich152]

The drOne footage Matt! Loved seeing the balcony you samnjess scrambled to climb that wall to get to the roof of the courts... Keep up what your doing, C

[@chrisrich152]

2nd time watching footage lol

[@chrisrich152]

Plus very informative 2nd time around & your choice of music is always trippy cool 😎👽😎

[@wibblefoof]

Think prefer the original that was uploaded a month or so ago, without the annoying music ! Nice to see this back uploaded though Matt

[@cecoya]

This was cool. I am amazed that some of it still exists though and in use. People lived down there??? How strange especially from being across the pond that seems to me. Thanks for sharing I enjoyed the tour. Have a great day and watch out for the spider webs. lol

[@kennethbarker852]

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

[@noelgains8433]

Fantastic footage more please

[@OxfordsFinestExplorer]

Great video mate ❤️

[@karengill8234]

Super interesting. Thank you. Matt. .......

[@TheAmericanCanadian1973]

I find this one very interesting. Its the first one that ive watched that you talk about it after the time you did this explore. Im kinda torn. I like your natural in time commentary with the sarcasm. At the same i really like how this is more descriptive. Either way always well done thx Scott

[@richardwarnock2789]

Definitely Fascinating Video was your old classic Gimbal doing the sausage Wobble got a good chuckle from that 😄haha Thanks Matthew and Sam Jess and all others!!!; )

[@michellegouda3170]

Love watching your drone footage. Your videos get more interesting each day. 🎉

[@MetroTitanD78]

The drone footage certainly allowed me to see things I'd never seen before despite passing many of them by regularly

[@djpaul146]

Awesome drone footage matt

[@sarahstrong7174]

Thankyou for sharing.

[@sherrycoles7645]

As a Bristolian, absolutely amazing - thank you for sharing.

[@richardlangly4635]

That was really fascinating!

[@wagwanbennydj6003]

I often think about living underground now

[@NickFoxQuixand]

Loads of these tunnels around this area, there is a nightclub under Albion Chambers just around the corner in these caverns, its pretty awesome

[@johnfrench428]

I’m suggesting that the spaces weren’t for living but, for a business once located in the building and they used the rooms as a manufacturing area. The cauldrons may have been for boiling/dyeing cloth or yarn possibly. What say you?🙂

[@georgesmith8113]

Very interesting. 👍👍😎

[@TheStan80]

Those walls hold some history, love it, quirky

[@neobayer]

This had a very Stalinesque history rewrite kind of feel. Seemed to be a lot more smudge people, maybe creepy elevator boy was in this also

[@TheGardener54uk]

that was amazing MaTT

[@TheRopeAddict]

Matt, the drone bits blow my mind.

[@dpl852]

Sure ive seen this before great explore

[@maxwellmc9734]

Cool place ☕😊😊💯👌

[@sarahstrong7174]

I imagine those big Christmas decorations must have come down via the 'pinwheel. I do not see them fitting into that lift.

[@tinytattoomike7943]

This was filmed back in the time capsule days 😉

[@darrenhudson401]

Yes loved it 10 out of 10 xxxx

[@nomorewars1366]

These look like the original ground level dwelling from before the great mud flood. 1805

[@ROCmotorbike]

awesome 😁😁

[@outwiththebutler]

would love to see the tunnels in my local town

[@marktraum9139]

Fascinating

[@bombcaryah]

We have this in Birmingham, a lot is secretly still in use and very modern, shafts will lead on to old pre Victorian times, god knows how long they have been there.

[@coffeenut9154]

Seattle Wa has a underground city to it is pretty cool

[@spacey9500]

I'm sure Jimmy savile would have liked it.

[@TimNurTV]

guessing by the Christmas decorations that this is a beneath what is currently a council building?

[@pdtech4524]

In a previous life I used to live in a cave, wear a fur hide, throw spears to hunt my food etc Obviously there was no digital photography or videography so I couldn't document it for later youtube uploading but I did paint my experiences on the cave wall, maybe you saw some of my paintings? ⚠️😯😊

[@sarahstrong7174]

It must have been terrifying down in those tunnels with bombs exploding nearby, deafening noise, everything shaking, dust falling & knowing that a direct hit would get you even down there & that when you emerged your home & workplace & your friends might be gone. I expect the metal panelling was to stop an unstable area from collapsing during bomb blasts.

[@crashnburn9383]

That church hidden within other buildings, WOW!

[@mycide]

13:44 Looks like a version of the Heinkel He 112 developed in germany 1933.

[@krisclayton6720]

I really love you intro music. Where do you find this music?💖🎶

[@Mrgingerdread1]

Nice

[@Paul_Wheller_with_an_h]

Did you say you were with Sam and Jess? I'm sure they said they are not working with you anymore on a more recent video. Have you fallen out? Just curious not trying to be nosy

[@sarahstrong7174]

Stalagtites have to hang on tight. Stalagmites have to push up with all their might. That is how I remember it anyway.

[@Iheartmyscent]

Were these basements from houses that aren’t longer there?

[@sampointau]

At 21:50 odd the 2 meters on the wall, well I'm guessing they're meters, and the lead pipes could be gas, I can remember when my godmothers place had her gas changed from the old coal gas they had to remove the lead pipes and ripped up a section of the old gas main in the street which was lead sheeting wrapped timber lathe construction to give strength to the pipe so it wouldn't crush under the weight of earth or conveyances above ground.

[@wojteksokol3793]

11:35 - what music in the background ? i like it very much

[@tog2842]

Still rocking 65gb of ram in your PC?

[@sarahstrong7174]

The tiled room may have been a WW2 First Aid Post.

[@brianread9781]

They was building before the Mud Floods that covered many building reasearch TARTARIA & The TARTARIAN EMPIRE & The MUD FLOODS ! Hidden History ;-)

[@billbrown5640]

Wow the back/underneath of them stairs you showed at about 16:00 mark look sketchy as f.

[@sampointau]

Interesting, the conservative party room still has candle/lamp sconces on the walls at around shoulder height. You can tell they are for candles or naked flame lamps as there is soot just above them on the start of the curved roof.

[@SuperMika70]

👍👍

[@pikeonatrike]

👌

[@nickjd2]

I think someone is pinening for someone or 2 then again could be time capsule

[@wookiejesusofnazarethkashy1940]

Sam and Jess wearing jeans instead of BDUs? THE END IS NIGH!!!

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

This is an older video just with Matt speaking over it :)

[@zerofox7347]

I love the real stone floors. I can imagine women doing washing and sweeping and scrubbing there steps I bet there were flower boxes in the cellar windows, more pride than people take of the back alleys of Bristol today.

[@westcountrylinkben1689]

It's NOT lost as there a lot of modern fitments and stuff to Prove that it has been visited many times and frequently.

[@adamwheeldon]

v2

[@alexoxley8776]

St Nicks, 20:15 ??

[@markholroyde9412]

LMAO, fans for growing weed would be my guess

[@64genoveva]

Did you noticed the pure gold, on top of the Catheos, these conduct the ether, for free energy, we have to pay like everthing else 🌈🌈🌈🕵‍♀️🕵‍♀️🕵‍♀️🌈🌈🌈

[@sullycliftona]

..

[@xboxcrazee]

Thought you had shook off those dippy hippies...

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

This is an older video just with Matt speaking over it :)

[@colinturner7363]

Sam and jess arnt dippy hippies they are nice people

[@Paul_Wheller_with_an_h]

Did you say you were with Sam and Jess? I'm sure they said they are not working with you anymore on a more recent video. Have you fallen out? Just curious not trying to be nosy

[@TheSecretVault]

This was filmed a year ago. Yeah we dont film any more together.
