drainage

The merging of the Bower brook & Hole Bottom brook at Chadderton forms the moss brook, which continues for 3.7 miles merging with the Irk at Collyhurst. Brown source is one of 5 culverts along the moss brook, consisting of stone, brick & concrete sections. Bower brook continues towards the...

Introduction Another old Fenland pumping station I have been meaning to visit for quite some time now but I never got around to doing it. Finally decided to visit and commit to the long walk to get to it, turns out the walk wasn’t quite as long as I thought it would be. Information & History...

Introduction Me and @JakeV50 spotted a chimney next to an active pumping station on the Norfolk Broads on satellite imagery, as it is fairly local to us we decided to take a look a few weekends ago. It didn’t end up being the most exciting place, but there were some interesting remains and a bit...

Southery Pumping Station While bored one evening, researching old pumps and mills as usual, I stumbled upon a possible pumping station situated in Southery, Norfolk. Being fairly local, me and @dansgas1000 decided to take a drive and see if it was still there. The reference I found to it...

Apethorpe Pumping Station This small pumping station pops up every once in a while. One quiet Sunday in September I drove around 2 hours just to see this, there was nothing better to do, so I thought why not! There was something very likeable about it and I really wanted to get to photograph...

Hi I have a manhole cover in my back garden and every time it rains my garden gets flooded been going on for months now been in contact with Scottish water and they have told me it’s a private drain can yo u tell me how I find out who it belongs to cheers

I've been interested in Brindley's drainage tunnels at Wet Earth Colliery for a few years now. There's a fair bit to see there however the good stuff was always inassessible, until on one trip a reasonable entrance to the main tunnels was found (now securely bricked up). So, userscott and I...

River Effra (Sewer) - A Decade Of Southern Division Associated Drainage, London 2010 -2019. Well, there's unquestionably more to everybody's favourite tourist drain 'RUBIX' which is essentially a storm relief which serves the Effra and is typically a very small piece in a fairly widespread...

Theres 20 years worth of Drains in HK. Heres 6 Days.

Hi everyone My first post here. Sorry for the bad English, I am French. This report is about the Shek Pik '66 tunnels that @siologen explored 3 years ago but didn't finish. Here is the Shek Pik Reservoir: it is said that there was a village here before, that is now under water... That will be...

I was actually going to put this in 'Mining' but as it's pretty much a culvert it probably belongs here really, and it's strucutrally similar to some of the other more minor Sheffield bits that I've put in this section anyway (this for instance...

One thing there is no shortage of here in Hong Kong is rain. Some days there's enough of it that I could almost be back in Yorkshire, were it not for the fact that it is accompanied by temperatures that God's Own Country has never experienced. There is also a difference in the delivery of that...

I've been saying since before I moved here that Hong Kong must have some massive drains. It took a visit from Siologen and Snappel to actually get me off my arse and go and look at them. This is of course sloppy seconds to those two, but I now also have custody of Silos map and will be...

I've been reading bits about the history of the Manchester Main Drainage Scheme for years now, mostly when trying to find new stuff to do. After a few trips to the library I found myself with a wealth of draining related info and started to distill it down into something resembling a readable...

I had my first look around some Victorian drains this week. Massive thanks to Adders for taking me, extreme_ironing, and a friend visiting from Germany to see these epic bits of infrastructure. I probably wouldn't have ventured down without his expertise and knowledge to be honest. I've also...
