As this hasn't been reported before I once again have the honour of naming a site, as I parked at S&M Hardware supplies I shall call it S&M Culvert and drains.(not my pic)

The river is really low at the moment so access was easy, the culvert is about 30 foot wide and I wasn't expecting much but it has so much more than I expected.

within 10 foot of the entrance was the first of the blocked side tunnels and an open drain that is about 3 foot high, across the river were more drains with one of them being easy to access. All along the first 100 foot of the cuvert were drains some of which were blocked some were open.
I decided to look down after going the length of the culvert.

the culvert it's self only had a couple of low sections for features but once I reached the end I was presented with two sluice gates which were open by about a foot and a small square drain that I headed down, not far in it opened into a large chamber and a sewer with a trickle of clean water running out, I wasn't prepared for heading into a sewer and decided not to head in this time.

Anyway on with the pics

It has and you don't. It was first done by a local lad called Ike who has dropped off the scene. He named it Arghie Bargy due to the proximity of the Arighi Bianchi furniture store.

M :)
