Having already explored the 'Big Humpty' we came across this 'Egg Shaped' overflow.
An obvious Victorian Sewer Overflow decorated with blue Staffordshire brick. Conveniently someone had previously barred off the gate so we decided to take a look, as you do......
This place is known as the 'Minger' so I decided to use the respirator as I had heard stories of gases etc in here. The plan was to get a few photos and get out quick, which we did. (Man this place stinks)!
After a back-breaking stoop up the 'Egg Shaped' pipe we were now in some modern day concrete inspection chamber, ahead was more smaller RCP. After another stoop we arrived at this MASSIVE chamber, and to the right over the side wall was the main Storm Overflow Tank.
The smell in here was real badman sewerfresh, also there was some serious heat in here too. It was very difficult to take any photos as it was so steamy and the lighting was almost impossible. There was masses of foam in the bottom of the tank and to the right it appeared sewerfresh was running through it.
I wanted to climb down and take a good look around, but I think it was Concrete Jungle that once said "Unless you have Ski Poles to keep you up forget it!" (LOL) - Good advice man, besides the smell and the gases it was looking slippy as hell, even the inspection platform wasn't doable due to the conditions.
My lens was fast steaming up and even using the flash, the camera was struggling to focus.
When the weather gets a bit better, I might attempt the tank another day, it was HUGE and probably a good little 'splore of it's own....
After about 5 minutes in here breathing was difficult, time to leave......
