Been spending a lot of time at Bradford recently, so thought I'd do this while here.

Flood Alleviation culverts, Bradford, by stranton
opened in 1992, for the Bradford beck (Bypass) & west brook (Pandora)
carries excess water away from the city during bad conditions.
Bypass
running from Thornton road to Rainbow junction,
length of 1 mile.
During normal conditions the beck passes through a slot on the left,
once levels reach abnormal the excess water diverts along the culvert on the right.
inspection chamber
culvert
the culvert exits on the right,
the beck on the left continues towards shipley merging with the Aire.
Pandora
running from Bradford college to Thornton road,
length of 0.7 mile.
During normal conditions the beck passes through a slot on the right,
once levels reach abnormal the excess water diverts along the culvert on the left.
western bulk sewer outflow,
discharges sewerage via pipe on the right during bad conditions.
