Hidden in a park, the stream enters the culvert by a sewer overflow outlet - the tell tale
tampons tell the tale. A quick shimmy under the grille, and you're in. |
|
Another fine example of Victorian brickwork, a 'grip' or channel running down the centre. |
|
After a short way, the drain splits into two parallel brick arches. |
|
The right hand drain has strange manhole shafts that have no ladders or step-irons. |
|
A new 1.5m RCP joins further downstream on the right. |
|
A quick stoop up there and it opens out into an unbelievable sewage overflow chamber. |
|
There are numerous wheels to control sluce gates to divert the sewage flow in different
directions. |
|
Back out in the main drain, the water level rises and rises and rises....... |
|
And then you emerge into daylight, albeit with wet swingers..... |
