culverts

The Medlock rises at Strinesdale, the culverts start at Clayton vale & finish at Potato Wharf, length of about 4 miles. The Medlock then continues merging with the Irwell at Hulme locks. Clayton vale culvert ( Big Humpty) Etihad Stadium culvert (Medlock culvert) discharge pipe...

April 2026 Visited with @Mr Budge, these were the 3rd and 4th culverts of the day, having done Hyde Falls and Sidedraft that morning. After a bit of confusion around the location of the infall we eventually found out way down. The “Supercharger A” and “Supercharger B” culverts are two connected...

Explored with @cattos mc budget. The culverts along the Holy Brook were the first that I became aware of when I began searching for culverts to explore nearby. In September 2023, I checked out the upstream section and its first culvert whilst I was in the area, but the brook was much deeper...

Visited with @cattos mc budget Like usual this is one of my pre-explored culverts I found exactly a year ago now which was in dire need of a revisit to get pics. :p These 5 lovely old brick culverts take the Cove Brook underneath a railway line for only about 30m, all being about 7 - 6ft in...

Been wanting to get this done for a time but its a fair trek from Sheffield but with the weather being so dry it would have been rude not to have got out and done something . Teaming up again with Nuboid we arrived early doors and parked up outside the Weavers arms and hoped over the wall at the...

I’ve been exploring sections of the Porter Brook for the past few months, and thought I’d post about one of the more accessible stretches. This section starts just below Sheffield General Cemetery, at the junction of Pear and Napier. The first open run is pretty easy apart from a weir around...

Like most drain explores this one would have been a hell of a lot easier in the dry summer months ! The culvert runs under a big old mill the water draining from the Butterly reservoir further upstream . Parking up on Fall lane i came in to the culvert upstream start point then first pic...

Inhospitable + The Works (explored with @Ojay , @MartyZero and a non-member) Inhospitable is a (as the crow flies) 1 and a half kilometer long culvert on the Moss Brook. This drain includes a peculiar feature, called The Works (you will see why its called that soon). The Explore We got to the...

Final Gore Brook Culverts (explored with @Ojay and @MartyZero I originally wasnt going to put all these photos into a report, purely because we hadnt taken enough on the day and we were in abit of a rush (4 culverts in one day eh!) However looking back, it was impressive how many culverts we...

Nelson doesn’t have much to recommend it as a town, but its culverts turned out to be unexpectedly entertaining. There’s a bit of everything here - old, new, high, low, shallow, deep. The stream that runs through it, Walverden Water, starts from reservoir A on the map below, joining Pendle...

Another culverting expedition from a while ago, mostly on Walsden Water while looking at mills in the area. This stream runs through Walsden (W on the map below) parallel to the Rochdale Canal up to join the Calder in the middle of Todmorden, X. Several sections are culverted (red bits), none...

Visited with concreteJungle. The Alden Brook is a tributary of the River Ogden (itself a tributary of the Irwell) and is culverted at its lower reaches until shortly before joining the river. The two stone built culverts are rather photogenic but quite rocky underfoot and made for a pleasant...

The Ings beck flows past HM prison Wakefield then through the centre of the city before outflowing in to the river calder . Having a ferret about on maps there looked to be one or two culverts and some smaller bits that might be worth having a nosy at arriving before 9 and getting parked up and...

First explore of the year ! Having been busy at work and not taking advantage of a really dry january and feb being a wash out i was chomping at the bit to get something done ! Did the porter culverts along with Megatron in august 2015 but my photos from that day left a lot to be desired fast...

Wading down another East Lancs cotton valley - the red lines on the map below are culverts totalling about 1 km in length. The original aim was to find a hydraulic ram just off the top of the map and then have a look at any water-related remains further downstream. Many of the mills that...
