Report - Byker Culvert, Newcastle - Apr '16

[Punk]

Explored with @The Stig

History

This culvert was constructed, using concrete, between 1907-1911. This was to guide the Ouseburn underneath the suburb of Heaton. It runs for a total length of 2150 ft, at a cost of £23,000. The southern portal opens beneath the Ouseburn Viaduct, some of which has been paved over and is used for horse riding.

Under construction in 1907

The rainbows look cool, I like the light painting.
Possibly one of the most graffed up drains in the UK?
