The Processor Drain, Re Re-visited

Ojay, viraleye, Stopford_lad, Tom Sherman, Marsden1002...



It's easy to forget that siologen discovered this place nearly a decade ago in the rain whilst "drinking Vimto 'n eating Monster Munch"

For me it's been over 3 years since I bothered with the place..


Seems we weren't the only locals who had shown a recent interest in this place, that's right our good pikey friends have been in and rinsed the place of everything bolted down.

..Including a failed attempt on one of the screening machines which had to be seen to be believed!

Anyway the Moston Brook is culverted along and under much of the Vale today via a 3m RBP, with a good chunk of the downstream section buried within a large RCP.

Here a few more pics as I doubt I will be going back here again...

Brick vs Concrete


Here the Moss Brook enters the culvert ahead of the 2nd CSO


Upstream Moss Brook, located below trunk


Entering the 2nd screening chamber the 'processor' was hanging over the overflow chamber,
 unbelievable as the pikeys have tried to have this away!



Infall - 3.5m Brick Arch


Back @ the Outfall


Shouts to viraleye, Stopford_lad, Tom Sherman, Marsden1002 for heading down to the vale for a poke about :)
