Markeaton culvert, Derby

I used to live near Derby and remember seeing Curzon Street ripped up once when the work was being done to stop it collapsing. Was going there to see a mate so we had a look. Not really a proper report but I thought id share what I took.

The manhole above this must of been right under a main road, serious banging!

Had to head back unfortunately before reaching the outfall. The water was shallow but had some force behind it, managed to fill the wellies by the the time we got back, so squelched back through the city center getting odd looks from the townspeople!
