My last trip down Megatron resulted in some crap pictures so I headed back under



Until the 17th century the name Sheaf was written as Scheth or Sheath. Sidney Oldall Addy equates the origins of this word with the Old English shed (as in water-shed) or sheth, which mean to divide, or separate. Historically, the Sheaf—along with its tributaries the Meers Brook and the Limb Brook—formed part of the border separating the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria; it remained on the border between Yorkshire and Derbyshire into the 20th century. The city of Sheffield derives its name from the Sheaf.
The River Sheaf was originally culverted in the 1860's.

So Jealous. I courted Mrs UrbanX in Sheffield for 3 years, and never knew of Urbex.
Then I had my Stag do there. Then our anniversary...and still never been.
There used to be restaurant on the A1 at Alconbury shaped like a UFO called Megaton...epic.
Oh amazing report BTW! :)
 
Culverts are normally clean water and if you ever get the chance to visit a big culvert take it.

Draining is really addictive

Its not the water that bothers me its being underground,I had a close call once in a dissused mine nr Alston
and never quite got my nerve back!before that I would drop into any underground space.I must admit your photos make me envious of what I,m missing!
 
Great stuff, very nice explore - pictures are very nice. Thanks
