The underground world of River culverts

In this video we go underground into a river culvert. This culvert is in Manchester UK and it carries the Gore brook. One of Manchester's lost rivers. During the Victorian era the Gore brook became a very polluted river and it was necessary to keep it out of the drinking water supply in the nearby Gorton reservoirs. This feat of Victorian civil engineering is fascinating as the brook runs through aqueducts constructed around the reservoir and it contains two underground waterfalls. This amazing underground world proved quite a challenging underground adventure for our urban exploring urbex team. We are joined along the way by a sewer, well a combined sewer overflow that provides quite a fresh sewer smell.
