OK, historians will love this too, especially the last picture. I wish there was more:

Damn I wish we had drains like that here in SoCal. I could spend a down there admiring the beauty. Thanks for the share.

woah my god that drain is beautiful! ill never find anything close to that in delaware... :[

awesome! thanks for the share.

Bad. Ass.

Not only is it beautiful but it is old. As an American who has never been to any of the colony states, I can say I've probably never stood in a place that's been there that long. That's effin awesome.

I r teh jealous

The whole idea of draining scares the hell out of me...

But those photos are gorgeous.

I'll leave the draining to people who enjoy it and I'll just enjoy their gorgeous photos.

UNF. DO WANT

I'm in the same boat.... Old out here is something before 1906, haha.

And yeah. I wanna go there, and I'm not usually super into drains.

That's weird. It worked yesterday.

That's how I knew it was pretty.

Unless I was dreaming.
Maybe it was a dream?

It was a dream!

You were there Zero. And Trap was there too... and... and there was a wicked witch and she looked like Sky Anne... and I was in an abandoned house that blew away and landed in a place called FurryVille & I had to follow the yellow peely painted brick road...

I don't know if it is or not, but it's a cool article. Here is another interesting article from BBC with some great photos and history:

Guess where I'll be whenever I happen to find myself in London??
I also wish we had this kind of rich urban history around here. We have rich history, just not so much of the industrial sort.

Here's one from an urban explorer/historic perspective for both NYC and London:

Last shot gets my vote for campest drain pose of the last ten years.
