In this video we entered a river culvert just off the River Medlock. This was Sheep Washers Brook. The culvert is known locally as the Devils hole. The correct name unknown to us at the time of the underground urban explore urbex. Its actually Sheep washers brook and is a tributary of the river Medlock. It is situated in the Park Bridge iron works heritage site between Ashton Under Lyne and Oldham Greater Manchester. This underground river culvert went on and on forever. It encompasses so many types of culverting materials. Brick culverts, Stone culverting and strangely corrugated iron. We entered under the site of an old cotton mill that was initially part of the park bridge iron works site. Looking up we could see the floor of the old mill and glimpse into the past of out industrial heritage. Parts were victorian engineering and some parts were Edwardian engineering. The brook/river was heavily contaminated with iron ore suggesting abandoned mines in the area were draining into it. We looks at old maps to try and work out the route of this underground tunnel. This is a glimpse into underground Manchester.
