The mysterious hole in South Yorkshire
In this underground explore we climb down to find an old abandoned waterways tunnel near the small town of Conisbrough in South Yorkshire.
Averaging around 5 feet in height and occasionally lower, we head down to see what lies inside.

Those little arched recesses are placed exactly on either side of the join/flange of the big pipes,presumably to give space to wield the tools should they require replacement or repair.

[@nickcaunt1769]

That's what I was just going to post as well.

[@oldfart6318]

The spigot and socket joints in the spun cast iron pipes would require calking to be inserted into the socket prior to guiding in the socket and pulling the joint up tight.

[@exileinderby51]

Good to see you out and about with Martin and James on another great explore.

[@MartinZero]

That was a good day. Glad you found there was more to it 👍

[@TrekkingExploration]

I'll check it out soon enough hopefully 👍

[@Robbo2606]

I’m from Conisbrough and this video gives me loads of memories of when we used to take this route from end to end with tea light candles as adventurous kids before the days of games consoles! We would feel the cold under the ground and come out to the warmth whatever the weather. It’s known locally as the ‘mile tunnel, great video!👍

[@martinmarsola6477]

A beautiful sunny day to search the tunnel! Glad to see Martin and James! A good crew!

[@shirleylynch7529]

What a fabulous explore. Martin James and Yourself are a brave trio. Thank you for taking us with you. So interesting.

[@yorkie2789]

Great video, nice to see Martin and James away from their local patch (and you for that matter).

[@LeiceExplore]

I enjoyed that. Those little Resseses in the brickwork, could've been to do with maintenance of the pipe joints, because from what I viewed they seemed to only be where joints in the pipework are, cheers.

[@a11csc]

nice vid ant and the pleasure of martin and james as a real bonus

[@MineExplorerUK]

this is very cool find. enjoyed that !

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thank you. There's a follow up part 2 I put on around 12 months ago

[@cathyp4342]

Great adventure and loved the still photos. Glad I was not in there as I found it very claustrophobic just to watch.

[@kippen64]

Just walking through tunnel is scary. Cannot even begin to imagine how unpleasant it would have been to be one of the workers who made it. Definitely don't want to emulate this explore. Oooh, scary!!! Seriously contemplated going to the next video.

[@Carolb66]

Hi Ant, wow you are do brave going in that small tunnel,not great if you are claustrophobic or you hate spiders! I've been to Conisbrough so many times mainly to visit the Castle & never knew about this tunnel but obviously well known to the locals Nice to see your friends in the video enjoyed the banter! . ❤😊

[@davidjohnireland4]

Nicely done, nice to see the other guys too.

[@michaelpilling9659]

Hello Ant. Greetings from Poland what a fascinating explore. How on earht did the builders of this extradinary tunnel construct it? It's so narrow and the pipe sections are so big and heavy. The brick work is incredible. Imagine being one of the workers. no thanks - not for me. A great film. Thanks to you and your friends for making the video.

[@macstyle2012]

Here in Tenerife there are hundreds of km of water tunnels like these in the mountains that lead to the water mines, most are closed off but there are quite a lot that are still accessible, a few still have the old tracks in place for the mine trucks that were used when excavating the tunnels.

[@janepatricia8779]

Great explore Ant, i thought it was,Picture Book,with the differant shaped windows 😀 Martin looked like he was coming out of a Pizza Oven ,🤣 xx

[@Jimyjames73]

Hiya @ 10:16 - Yes it was 'Play School' where you went through different Windows - Round, Square & the Arch Window!!! 😉🚂🚂🚂

[@stephentaylor4893]

Excellent video. My parents live in Warmsworth (a village near Doncaster) and they have a strip of protected land in their back garden which has a large metal panel which, when opened, leads down about twenty feet to a section just like this. We were told when we bought the house that it was the disused Thrybergh to Doncaster pipe and I was always intrigued what it would look like to go down and walk through the whole way but I never had the courage to go trekking through deep dark spider filled tunnels.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Oh wow well if they ever fancy letting me have a look.... 🙂😉 I have recently found a few more sections and it'll be on a video very soon

[@kipsome45]

Great explore, as a sufferer of arachnophobia I’d have appreciated a warning prior to the spider close up though!

[@MrNickHairs]

Great spooky video. I love a good railway tunnel but that waterway tunnel you can keep. Thanks

[@jontownsend8090]

Great explore. Very elaborate construction for a water main i must say, unless the pipe was added some time after.

[@simonballard6413]

Thanks so much, all of you. What a fabulous hidden tunnel! Keep going, Ant - and don-t worry about the spiders!!

[@keithbill310]

Its nice to see such a Collaboration of explorers... The pipe is Old cast iron pipes bolted together .. prob 18th century...

[@colinnaylor126]

Well done guys excellent video

[@kimbenson2920]

No Spiders! Sounds like a dream explore. Now, if I could just get over the claustrophobia, I'd be set. 🤔

[@chrisgreen8803]

Excellent video thanks 😊

[@TheShowgirl25]

Can you imagine how awful it would be, to have to build that?

[@TrekkingExploration]

Probably with picks, shovels and gas light 😔 There's a few others too I need to find

[@andrewdavis9223]

Great video it always makes me wonder how long it took to do the brickwork on these places

[@24934637]

Always a challenge deciding to go in feet first or head first. Do you want to see what's ahead of you, but risk your face being eaten first, or go in feet first but blind to whatever is chewing your ankle???

[@bobjackson6524]

LAAAAAADS I NEVER EVER KNEW YOUD TEAMED UP. My two very favorite y.t explorers. Presenting PROPERLYto the viewers. i CAN NOT stand any of the others. Hope its okto say that.

[@bobjackson6524]

@@TrekkingExploration well i NEVER knew that. ❤

[@backupintheday9710]

Interesting venue.

[@jetsons101]

What happened to Martin's mustache and beard???? What a fun walk to do on Halloween Night using candles and not torches/flashlights, fun times. Thanks for your hours of time and work.....

[@rossmurrayfam1568]

Looks very spooky 2 me

[@eggy77]

This video reminds me of a reoccurring dream /nightmare I had in my younger days where I was queuing up for school dinner in the hall way and as we got down the queue the corridor got smaller and smaller until we were in a very narrow tunnel with barely enough room to climb through, everyone else made it through fine, but I got stuck... I should probably keep away from tunnels like this 😄

[@philsmodelrailway232]

Outstanding explore 👍, and I have to ask where do you find these places

[@martinehammond4126]

Interesting video. I'm wondering if they had a little railway in place to run all the bricks and mortar in and the same for the pipework, then as they moved out towards the entrances they pulled everything out and bolted all the pipework into place.

[@trainmanbob]

Congratulations!! Not often anyone can get ALL my fears in one video. Clostrophobia. being underground, spiders, panic attacks,.... nevertheless, very interesting.

[@shavedphil]

Great clip as always. Good to see Martin and James again 👍

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks Phil 😀😀

[@Phil-M0KPH]

Interesting tunnel. 👍

[@willowwillow7112]

Good video. Haven’t Martin and James already been here and ir was that a similar tunnel?

[@rodgermoss8975]

Martin Zero and Darren [Adventureme] explored an almost identical tunnel from Chew reservoir to the Swineshaw reservoir in the Dovestones area of the western peaks.

[@elzorroman1]

Very enjoyable thank you much appreciated

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Yep, arched, round and square windows in playschool and now the same in tunnels 😄

[@leathandrubb]

Iv'e looked at those other 4 mounds on google maps and i think you are right. I hope you will take a look at them some point.

[@TrekkingExploration]

I was actually going back tomorrow but the forecast changed so I'll try next week. Thank you for watching

[@shitheadmachin]

I used to work at Thrybergh reservoir and I think I know where this comes out. There's definitely a pipe going through Ravenfield Park. Can tell you more if you like.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Thanks so much for watching and for the information. You can get me on my Facebook Page if possible. I would like to return and look at other locations of this route

[@davidlee6720]

it might have been open-cast to start with then filled in as they went along.

[@davidedwards4707]

I bet under them pipes is the remains of a narrow gauge tramway, no way where they carried In. I recon the recesses where there so fitters could turn their wrenches at the joints. Just a theory.

[@TrekkingExploration]

I've slowly over time been uncovering more of this route and I'll be back there soon hopefully 🙂

[@thomasmann9216]

I must have missed something. Why didn't you continue on? It looked passable.

[@-FreeMiner-]

I now own this tunnel

[@mjlr6284]

You done anything with it

[@70mmbobbyj]

Poor James

[@bobingram6912]

Like previous comments, the arches are in line with the pipe joins but then further along there were no arches, the plot thickens🤔 At 12.28, why would anyone decide to bring a car brake disc with them, nowt so weird as folk!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@grenvallion]

How do you find places to explore? I'm interested in getting out to explore places like this. I'm 5 foot so I'd easily fit too haha

[@Stevogoesflying]

HAHA how Martin was born "climbs out of tunnel"

Who would be daft enough to go down there and let fireworks off? Surprised you did not find a couple of skeletons!
