Paid In Full, Manchester
At a loose end I decided to finally check this lid out
Part of an ongoing project; except this is 'The End' and will probably be another 6 months before I'm paid in full and the jigsaw is complete :bananapopcorn
The above pic was taken over 12 months ago as I hastily GTFO of a place I shouldn't have been really, with the noise alone I knew I was on the right tracks
Trying to follow a lost watercourse across boundaries and through the City isn't easy work
Lifting lids in some real odd places with some shonky excuses makes for an interesting mooch
That said I've been chipping away at this for a good 18 months now
It came as no surprise when I saw first hand that the final outfall is discharged via a sewer, it was just a case of locating it ^^
No doubt at some point I'll be back with the rest of it, until then I'll leave you with this...
Remember the liddage from above ^^
(Under the cover of darkness I returned)..
Down 10ft into the dropshaft brings you to this landing stage
Looking down into the sewer below
Another 12ft down brings you face to face with this baby sewer, running through the bottom of the dropshaft
And the source of all that noise..
Odd to see this 150 yr old watercourse that once flowed through open fields & rural areas, unpolluted, teeming with fish and the haunt of numerous wild fowl outfall into sewer via a 200mm cast iron pipe
Looking back up, and time to GTFO
More to follow at somepoint in the near future
