Boredomiser, June 2013

[PaulPowers]

I was driving through Derby and hadn't stopped all day so decided to pop into a drain

Boredomiser was one of the drains I have never got around to visiting and parking was easy so it was an easy choice

The Boredomiser Culvert carries Markeaton Brook from near Bridge Street under the city centre where it outfalls near the Cockpitt Roundabout into the River Derwent

it's been a muggy day and a nice cool drain was the best way to cool off

Just around this corner there was a swarm of flies surrounding a dog that must have fallen in upstream a few days ago

The smell was horrific and had me heaving so I turned around and got out

Amazing drain but I agree on the dog.

Doesnt look That much of a confined space, what a deterrent that must have been for you
