They Lie, Stockport - Jane 2013

[PaulPowers]

I was originally going over to Sheffield but I wasn't going near the Snake Pass in the snow.

I've been looking at this for a while and kept putting it off

The outfall used to be the easy access but UU have rebuilt it and added two large grills at the end so it was lid lifting time.

The lid is in the middle of a public foot path but it shifted really easy so once I was in I put it down behind me as best I could

There are two large chambers, one for the outfall and on for the processor that are connected by a length of RCP

On with the pics

Bit blurry as this one was taken on my phone

Time to go home

Corrr I like that! Really interesting spaces!
Fantastically lit photos as usual, would love to do more drains too!

 

[flyboys90]

Nice one,looks good.

 

[Ramsgatonian]

Fantastically done photographs, it is your reports that encourage me to start draining!

Thanks for sharing.

 

[PaulPowers]

Give it a go is all I can say

Culverts are a good safe way to start and really rewarding

Do I take it from the clean look that this isn't a poo-erage drain then? Looks a super explore!

No it's poo, United Utilities recently rebuilt it

Nothing like the convenience of a hinged cover, positively begging to be explored.

 

[Sshhhh...]

Great pics, interesting report. I have never really thought about all this under my feet, until I see your reports. Thanks for the insight
