Gimme that bottle! Brilliant vid Jamie well done

Excellent video Jabba. Unbelievable to think what a hive of activity that area towards and along the canal would have been in it's hay day, and now its just been shut off and lost almost. Terrible to think of our industrial demise. All that heavy industry gone. Back then those people would never have dreamed that one day it would all be gone. Same I suppose for those at Round Oak albeit much more recent history. Absolutely love the excitement you show when you discover things. Could not believe that cod bottle...... not even hidden....almost as if it was put there for especially for you. Keep up the great work in keeping our local history alive.

Another good video, so enthusiastic, keep them coming bro!

Brilliant video and find... TWO things on my bucket list, A roman coin from Wallheath and a glass bottle with a marble in it for my "collection too/Man cave" Only found broken bottles in all the years playing over and growing up at the black or Grazebrooks and Barry bonk!

Talking of the Oxford Worcester Wolverhampton Railway, known as the old worse and worse, there was an early railway disaster on that line near Amblecote. The O.W.W.R eventually became part of the Great Western Railway, yet again a really well presented and enjoyable bit of local history. Addendum. I have just noticed that you have already covered the rail disaster to which I refer but I'm going to keep my original comment.

@@BlackcountryhistoryhunterBCHH not sure why it got that name, maybe it didn't run to time. There's a detailed account of the incident in Tom Rolt's, Red For Danger book where he looks at many incidents on railways and how measures were taken to prevent further accidents. I seem to remember at least one railway employee along with some passengers were drunk plus an unofficial method of coupling was employed . I'm looking forward to watching your account, with a glass of wine (or two), tonight. I might even risk a cheese sandwich!

There's only a tiny bit of the Pensnett canal left in water and it's good to see it's still there. I did that exact same explore about ten years ago and was just as dead chuffed as you were. love the bottle!

Thanks, pal. I really enjoyed making this one

This is one your best so far Jamie, absolutely fascinating. I walk the canals around the Black Country and it is amazing to see this small stretch of the Pensnett Canal. Your use of old photos and maps to explain what we are looking at is brilliant mate. And glad you got yourself a bottle with its ball still intact! Nice find.

Fantastic managed to find it all on google maps. cant believe that old canal is right there. That old building you went in was an old 11kv substation. The two stripped switches on the left as you entered we have some of those still in service today. Love the history keep it up
