Preston Brook Culvert/M56 Drain - Runcorn - June 2011 -

recent information regarding me and kevsy21's previous explore of preston brook [ame]http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=16426[/ame] took me back here to see what lied further upstream.

explored solo

after following the brook for a while i was met with a 2 way tunnel system,with the right leading under the bridgewater canal, and the left bending off with a rushing water echoing from inside.


i decided to take the right side first under the canal




leading me out below a huge concrete wall


the brook then flowed under railway tracks




stopping for a people pic


next was 2 large tunnels which went under the M56 motorway


the left side was the one that had the most water flowing through it






end of the line, i wasnt sure if it went any further underground the path ahead was overgrown with various shrubbery so i called it a day and decided to walk down the other tunnel and go check out the left side of the original tunnel entrance


the other side was a bit dryer until you got to the end






this is the left side of where i first started out when i took the right side


there was a rush of water which got me excited, a stair chamber maybe?...nahh after a short stoop it was just a pipe pissing water down from above...and a dead end


which led into some inspection chamber


it aint much i know but every hole is a goal

thanks to mickey78 for the recent info regarding this brook​
