(Permission visit, Thank You!!) 425 Giga litres in a 44 sq km lake, 55m high dam, 6 radial gate spillways which open to potentially release the lake at a rate of nearly 1Giga litre a day when all open!!! So, with this monstrous power, you'd expect a control room of majestic proportions?
This might be the world's most simple and functional control room of anywhere I've ever been, behind an equally understated and functional door.

That's it.. no superfluous grandeur.

Had a wander around Benenden Hospital, 3/10 below average experience.

Despite how empty and bashed around a lot of it is there was still a few things worth shooting that had somehow missed being ruined. There is some pretty active looking asbestos removal going on in the kitchens building attached to the old TB Pavillion now.

I'm holding the light seen in bottom left of the pic to light up the 2 small waterfalls (spout and rat hole). But I think Alex takes some great pics. Met him and his dad in Gaping Gill end August

Nothing report worthy here but a few shots of Arley watermill ruins in Wigan we found interesting. These 19th century ruins are hidden away right next to the entrance to the big river douglas tunnel and near the red rock culvert. There's a bit of info online about what this site was used for, a 1914 observer article talks about charcoal and fustic being ground here, fustic is a type of wood imported from the America's and ground down to make yellow dyes. There are also the remains of two coal mine pit shafts next to the site, and an archaeological report suggests that water power could have been used for winding or pumping which is apparently quite a rare practice. Worth a look if your going to do the culverts anyway.
