Having exploded most of the system, reaching the plug hole. The concrete box section that feeds it, isn't accessible without equipment. From looking at other reports, I see others have abseiled down there? I'm just curious to know where this leads, and where the water intake is coming from.

The drain was built in the 1980s, as Warrington is prone to flooding, it spans over 4 miles. After two days of dry weather I decided to venture into the storm drain by the outfall. Water levels were quite low and the speed of the stream and levels stayed the same throughout my couple of hours...

I took two recent trips down to bunker in the past few weeks. First one with @stranton for a gentle plod, then we met up again Friday evening with the addition of @GRONK with the aim of reaching the 'plug hole'. 'Built in the 1980's the system spans for over 3.5miles made up mainly of RCP'...

Climbed this one earlier this year, The Warrington Transporter Bridge is the only rail transporter bridge left standing in the world today. The Warrington Transporter Bridge (also known as Bank Quay Transporter Bridge or Crosfield's Transporter Bridge) across the River Mersey is a structural...

Hello folks I found a small tunnel hidden away in some woodland south of Warrington (see map) At first glance looks like a large badger set but I entered and crawled about 15 feet and is clearly man made. I have no idea what it would have been dug for and can't find anything online about...

HMS Blackcap was originally built for the RAF during WW2 as a night fighter station to protect Liverpool but due to changes in the Luftwaffe tactics it was not required and was handed over to the Navy in 1942. Forty-one Fleet Air Arm Squadrons were based there for varying periods, some aircraft...

Storm Drain Warrington March 2022 I previous saw this on a post and “needed” to explore this one! It some some time to find the entrance after clambering over banks we came to the grid which was half taken off. We didn’t take the opposite half away and instead chose to clamber down which was...

Built in the late 80's and spanning over 3.5miles this storm drain is a drainage monster made mostly from concrete and RCP. This was originally built to accommodate the growth of Warrington town and in the event of a 1 in 30 bad storm. I tried to count the amount of access points but lost...

A small history: The Bunker storm drain is located in the Southern area and constructed in the late 80s when Warrington itself was expanded as a town. Built for a ‘one in thirty’ immense storm, it spans some 3 miles, is mainly constructed of large RCP of 5-8 ft. whilst featuring multiple...

UK Transporter Bridges There are four transporter bridges in the UK, although the remains of the one in Runcorn are minimal so most wouldn't count that. The bridge as a whole was demolished years ago, but the former approaches, power house and former office building are still standing. The...

Hey peeps, Looking to network with fellow urbexers now i got my mojo back. Anyone around warrington say hi ~?

Afternoon..... Thought I'd post up a visit to Bunker from a couple of weeks ago... Admittedly it left me on crutches for a few weeks however was back down there today....... Anyway... The reason for post is more a query to see if anyone has a map of the system or where the ends of it...

Visited with @Dangle_Angle one morning before work. We had a heads up on this one so not being to far away we thought a little look was in order for the day. There isn't any history on the house because it's just a house well not any that I could find. And it doesn't have a name so I'll just...

Second visit down the storm drains, this time with the idea of using wire wool & long exposures, ended up going further in the drains this time & getting to the sink hole & then crawling through very small tunnels. Now being 6ft 3 crawling the 3ft tunnels isn't the best. Wellies basically failed...

The first storm drains we have explored & it was a bit of a challenge if I must say, firstly we didn't really know were to start, a few searches online and we found a much easier access point rather than lifting up man holes. We gained access and came to a stand still at the first part of the...
