Big Humpty is a victorian brick culvert and to be honest that's pretty much all there is to it, the culvert section is relatively short but it's worth going through if you're heading to the Medlock culvert. Big Humpty Medlock Culvert The Medlock Culvert was built to re-direct the Medlock River in Manchester, after a series of floods, the worst being in 1872 where the flooding was so bad it literally tore bodies out of graves in the nearby cemetery, sending around 76 corpses floating away. The culvert is constructed of various stone and brickwork, and incorporates street drainage and a water drain off for the nearby Rochdale Canal. The culvert starts in Phillips Park.

And all done in brickworks makes it even more amazing, specially in the 6th picture. paulpowers  Location: Manchester, UK  |  Re: Big Humpty & Medlock Culvert, Manchester, UK <Reply # 2 on 9/14/2013 8:15 PM >   It's as big as a train tunnel, the Victorians didn't fuck about Website:- http://www.Paul-Powers.co.nr Flickr:- http://www.flickr.com/photos/paul_powers Email:- [email protected] tiffers  Location: Texas Gender: Female ...  |  |  Re: Big Humpty & Medlock Culvert, Manchester, UK <Reply # 3 on 9/14/2013 8:30 PM >   I love this.
