August 2026 Cheers to @gba7s and @Urban Nomad for the heads-up on this one. I’ve probably driven past this place 1,000s of times over the years, completely unaware that it’s been out of use since 2013. I think part of the reason for that is the grounds around it have been so well maintained...

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...

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...

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...

Well, I guess this isn't especially high, but it's quite an iconic location and a beautiful old building. Here's A bit of historical context. As for the climb, it was very easy. Watch out for the sensor in the yard, though, as you might get spotted from the street. Once you're up a couple of...

Levenshulme Baths stand as a reminder of the kind of civic buildings that once played a straightforward but important role in everyday life. Opened in 1921, they were built to provide public washing and swimming facilities at a time when many homes still didn’t have them. For decades, the...

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...

Warwick Mill in Middleton stands as one of the most imposing survivals of the town’s industrial past, reflecting both the scale of the north-west’s late cotton boom and the central role that textile manufacture once played in shaping Middleton’s urban and economic identity. The mill emerged...

March 2026 Finally got around to paying this one a visit last month whilst spending a few days mooching the GM derps, I've has it on the 'to do' list for a very long time, sadly given the the level of graffiti and vandalism I was clearly too late to the party. It is clear that back in its day...
