Report - Inhospitable, Manchester - May 2017

Wow, what a difference! I take it all back.

Think they gave an apprentice a bag of cement and said 'grab a hand full of that grey shit, dip your hand in the water and smear it round them bricks, be right.'

Even better further upstream is this steamy example they never got round to fixing either

 

[Nickindroy]

@Ojay you did once try to polish a turd in there.

The brick egg moako is on about is in the u/s section of inhospitable, after a short walk in, as I understand it, and the new concrete one is (presumably?) a replacement for the older brick egg d/s past the gong, or is the older brick one still there, and this concrete one is a new addition altogether? Cheers lads.

Chuffing hell, where is that please ojay? Proc or Inhospitable, if that is flowing into the brook like that, UU should be ashamed o' themselves, imho!

 

[Ojay]

There's a single sided weir on it only, there's no screened return for solids, so yeah not ideal at peak flows I guess

The newer concrete upgrade and screen is further d/s and serves 2 or 3 sewers looking at it

Cheers, I think I may have read something on UU's website about it, but can't be sure of the road name nearby, seems they have done some work to prevent UID's to the brooks in that area.
