    Question - Radcliffe Culvert?

    https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/26454796.investigation-milky-green-river-irwell-contamination/ From further research, do believe this is called Bridgemouth? Or am I off the beaten track?

    Report - Cantankerous culvert, Manchester, August 2026

    It's worth mentioning this culvert is dangerous & caution must be taken it lies beyond the discharge from the treatment works so the flow is very strong, the infall is chest deep & it's very rocky under foot once at the outfall you can't return as it's too difficult to walk against the flow...

    Report - The Penny Slot, Southampton - 24/5/26

    Explored solo. Seeing as we were in Soton for the day with no specific objective, I decided to bring along some of the drain gear and check out a culvert I've known about for ages — on an unusually swelteringly hot day for May. This culvert is around 170m in length and carries Tanner's Brook...

    Report - Petty Plumbing, Basingstoke - 22/5/26

    Explored solo. I first found this drain on the 20th of May 2023, back when I was just cutting my teeth in the hobby of drain exploring. At first I was quite intrigued by it, but once I got into the hobby properly later that same year, my attention shifted to other drains and I frankly just lost...

    The Wince brook rises at Chadderton, then continues for 3.3 miles merging with the Irk at Middleton. Foxdenton is one of 4 culverts along the Winch brook passes beneath Foxdenton treatment works, consisting of half brick & half concrete (arch). it's worth mentioning there is a 200yd culvert...

    Report - Sidedraft Manchester - April 2026

    After failing our first drain of the day me and @GRONK had a wander to Hyde Falls before ticking off another one of the 7 culverts along the Gore Brook and what a little beauty she was.. Hopefully well be able to complete the brook this year if we pull our (me) finger out. History Sidedraft is...

    Report - Beverley Brook Storm Relief Culvert, London - 11/4/26

    Explored with @cattos mc budget. I'd known about this drain's infall on the Beverley Brook for quite a while, but it wasn't until I saw an article on SilentUK's site that I was inspired to go and actually have a look at it. The Beverley Brook Storm Relief Culvert was built in 1925 to alleviate...

    Report - Branksome East Viaduct, Poole - Feb 2026

    There are two rail viaducts spanning the Bourne Valley a stone's throw from the boundary between Poole and Bournemouth, they both look identical but were actually built five years apart, with the one I visited today being the older of the two having opened in 1888 to serve Bournemouth West...

    Report - Arachnophobia, Manchester - 28/8/25

    Done solo as the other two were put off by the name alone! After a failed visit to Supercharger B due to a downpour causing a CSO upstream in the culvert to go mental (more on that further down), we didn't really know what to do next. So we walked over to Arachnophobia, our final culvert to...

    Report - Gripper, Manchester - 28/8/25

    Visited with @cattos mc budget. Waking early on our fourth and final day of drains in Manchester, we planned to visit UMIST and Hulme Flume's Little Brother first, a culvert and CSO on the Medlock in city centre. Unfortunately, due to "unforeseen circumstances", we bailed on this idea. Despite...

    Report - Inhospitable, Manchester - 27/8/25

    Visited with @cattos mc budget and my mum. After visiting Compounded, we had a brief stop for lunch before heading over to Inhospitable, a culvert which I was especially keen to finally visit! (Shame we didn't get to see the whole thing though...) This is only a short, undescriptive report of...

    Report - Big Humpty & Medlock Culvert, Manchester - 26/8/25

    Visited with @cattos mc budget and my mum. (Again!) After checking out Foxdenton up in Chadderton, we had a quick stop for lunch before heading over to Philips Park to visit two of the most well known culverts in Manchester. ;) Big Humpty and Medlock Culvert are two huge culverts situated on...

    Report - Mill Lane Culvert, Reading - 22/8/25

    Explored with @cattos mc budget. Back in February 2024, I had some spare time before heading home after checking out a different culvert in Reading, so I took a quick look at this one mainly to see if it was viable for a future explore. For the most part I just forgot about this culvert, as its...
