Preston Brook Drain - Runcorn - sep 2010 -

[georgie]

spotted this a while ago whilst out on my bike and decided to return and check it out further with kevsy21

im no drain expert and to be honest its my first one so im guessing its some sort of storm drain for the brook?

the first time i explored it the water levels was quite low but after recent heavy rains it had risen quite a lot
seems to be split up into 3 sections the first being the main big bit then it goes into a sort of concrete box structure then gets carried under the railway through a tunnel and then onto wherever..

explored with kevsy21

grill at the other end

leaving that section it goes through this?

then onto a tunnel under the railway

the last bit we came to

like i said im no drain expert and being the first one we done i wasnt sure what it was but the first section is a drain or water run off for the brook
