A tributary of the River Dean Bollington, Harrop brook follows downstream from a reservoir weir through the local park known locally as 'the rec' through to the 'rat tunnel' culvert passing through a number of small bridges and culverts.
The Brook follows along right on the doorstep of local houses so stealth is key (hard to do in a hi vis and head torch), came accross this some time ago when walking past with the doggo i noticed the inviting culvert entrance and forgot all about it until coming across a report of it on here, Maps doesn't give anything away really with this one and it seems on closer inspection of other old reports there were definitely sections i didnt reach.
A revisit further upstream and to see if the mills culverts are still accessible after the abandoned buildings works is a must, A great example of Victorian era engineering that is still working and in use today without us necessarily realizing so.
