red barn drain, oldham, england!! 26/05/08

Visited with thenewmendoza

Ive been wanting to do this drain for a long time, we had a failed mission infact about 4 weeks ago, so we did foxdenton drain instead!!!
anyhow the fails were due to the council, kindly fiting a HUGE padlocked steel gate over the E/E point, so it was a nogo

anyhow, about a week ago i saw a report from here on here, hmmmmmmmmm i thought, i wonder if...................

anyhow jump on a few days and MENDO had done a report on it on NWE!!! 5hit i thought, id better do this quick then as it wont be long before they lock it again!!!

so a quick text to mendo last night, and the plans were in place!!

all i can say abouthtis place is WOW, its really amazing inside, it changes shape every 50 yards, its everything from cathedral tall to stooping low, RCP, bricks, stone and iron pipes all make this place up, i think it should be renamed to HEINZ drain 'cos it realy has got 57 varieties!!

anyhow, enough of my warbling, and on with the pics!!!

mendo in a REALLY low section wich is about as far up the pipe as you can get, there is only one way in/out in this one as its a shrinker!!


brick bit


inverted agg shaped brick bit!! apparently this leads to a sewr outfall but the pipe is small, i really didnt fancy a crawl up here :rolleyes:



brick pipe opening up into stone


stone chamber, the tallest bits of the drain!!


iron ceeling


big stone, to little stone!!


BIG, inverted brick egg


looking from the big brick egg to the next stone pipe section


brick egg to RCP!!


this bit was REALLY stoopy, it looked like the roof was caving in!!


looking toward the exit!!!


i think the most amazing thing about this place is the depth underground, we were nearly 60' below the surface at one point, wich in a drain in this condition is quite a scary thought :eek:

I forget what it is.

Very common around me in Western New York. I think it has something to do with the acidity of the soil. (Just a guess)

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop...
