"Caged in",Knowsley Brook Culverts ,Liverpool , June 2012

[kevsy21]

The Knowsley Brook is of the Tributaries of the River Alt,the part we checked consisted of a long caged area through the grounds of the Ethel Austin HQ and main distribution warehouse and into a long concrete culverted section under the Knowsley Business park.

Visited with Georgie

We started off by Randles Bridge.(Georgie).

The colour of the water wasn't inviting.

The start of the long straight section

A few bridges cross it at various points,we made our way steady because the security hut was closeby and we could hear gates opening and closing at times.

Further upstream undergrowth covered sections of the cage.

View from above.

Once we got through the caged section we got to the part where 2 brooks meet and the concrete section.
Unluckily for us the dark stinky water was coming out of the culvert we were entering. Plus it had started to rain heavy again.

After a right turn we faced this long straight section.The light in the distance it the 2nd of 2 airshafts.

At the airshaft we went met by an Rcp which explained the bad smell in there.

Through the grill of the airshaft rain was pouring in and the water flow increasing this was as far as we got which wasnt far of the end.

A few pics of Georgie.

Gated side of one of the feeder Brooks.

Particularly like this one for some reason, dunno why... but it's like some dangerous snake coiled up in the grass or something lurking underfoot.
I like it!

Thankfully we haven't bitten in any of this places yet SK but the smell was bad in this place.
