Slim Pickings, Manchester

Explored with Ojay, Nickindroy and Viraleye

Slim Pickings is a big brick built stilling pond overflow for Manchesters Work 6 interceptor sewer, outfalling to the nearby River Medlock via a 2 metre RCP. The long outfall tunnel has a single side pipe leading to a tall chamber with a small watercourse entering from the top and reaching the bottom via a drop shaft into a small pool before spilling out into the main outfall towards the river.

Well you've certainly nailed that mate, great pics and more motivation than anyone else!

Always good to catch up with the Preston 2 :thumb

I'll leave this here for now, as the whole things been an ongoing one for me and far from finished with it all yet

Loving the brickwork in these shots :popcorn. Can't believe I've still never done a drain. Think this might have to be my first one by the looks of it. Nice shots anyway mate :thumb.

Especially these 2

Brilliant brickwork there, especially the steps. Damn well lit to boot, looks like you had porta floods down there! :D

I do like this drain. The brickwork is a real treat and comes as quite a surprise after a reasonable walk up that RCP.
Can't see myself heading back there any time soon mind! :)
