Report - Tunnel/sewer, Stalybridge

[BIOHAZARD]

Hi
Some weeks ago Lazy1uk took a photo of this tunnel Stalybridge canal
http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=11568
Which I decided to go and explore so me and my mate set out and finally got there after a short 3 min journey on bikes.
This is the start of the tunnel

Bit further back and keep going until we found:

It connected to the sewer!! :crazy But we didn't have wellies so we didn't go:crazy

To the left of us there was an opening and when we looked up-a tower!

We managed to get to the top but I'm glad I didn't jump over-look how high it is:

After this we were coming back out when-I stepped in shit or maybe it was mud but it stank horrible

I wasn't happy at that moment.
We had a look around and saw another small tunnel leading into the ground into a sewer but looked very small and stank

This is some more pics of the tunnel on the outside-

I might go back with wellies and go up the sewer which looks fun or just leave it for someone else to explore!!
Well-what do you think-w0rth going back up or not??

Re: Report-tunnel/sewer-stalybridge

I think it is definitely a sewer as there are sewage works across the river and it probably just connects to that but I don't think the main part (where I went in is a sewer) the stuff on my shoes is definitely crap as it smells exactly like it although there might be some rust. Here is a (rough) plan of what was there:

Hope it helps

It was used as a power line for the power station, don’t worry, it wasn’t shit on your shoes. The reason for all the rust is because all of the wires are still there, and it’s proper rusted up the mud

That second sewer looked cool, but it’s gone now

What are the concrete forms for? Cable runs maybe?

Yeah it was used to hold power cables. And it was actually used as a culvert for a few years after the power station was closed down, so that’s probably were the shit was from. It’s a shame that other ladder is closed up now
