In this video we investigate an underground tunnel. This tunnel is in the Irwell valley by the river Irwell. We are in Salford and not far from Manchester. We found this underground tunnel and decided to investigate. Clearly it has an industrial use as it has some old victorian pipework sticking out of it. We trace its source using old maps and Ordnance survey maps. We come to a junction in the tunnel where two other feeds join it. This is clearly something to do with the Outwood brickworks and the Manchester Bury Bolton canal. Possibly dug in the 18th century this is a man made industrial revolution piece of Industrial heritage
