Had the exact location for this one forward on to me from Nuboid ( cheers mate ) otherwise you could have walked past it without noticing ! parking up on Dealburn road i climbed in to the culvert at the side of Victoria park . paying no attention to the caution contaminated water sign i was kitted up and in without any fuss
Not surprising with all the rain we have had there was a fair flow tumbling down the steps
was roaring away then a change to RCP
the bulk of this explore is RCP
little of shot here proved to be a dead end
water crashing inn was getting louder
then a change in styles
looking back downstream
the culvert then opened up in to a small sized room
daylight ahead
then out in to the open air at the side of the railway line , was nice to stop here and straighten up a bit next pic looking back where i had been the one after where i was going next
red brick pipe with a two way split
the left hand junction was bricked up for some reason
next pic looking back to the entry
lovely stone work suggesting that this area was once open to the outside , another change in styles to stone round pipe lovely to see this old section
looking upwards there were giant slabs of stone covering the culvert roof
this must have been open at one time as suggested earlier , then back up the stone pipe
change back to RCP with a shower
the source of the water
im guessing it must have rained while i was down here as on the way back out this water had stopped ! The flow of water was also faster making it more precarious walking
calcite build up then obligatory 28 pic
some concrete shuttering around a brick built chamber
