Another culvert thats been on my to do list for some time now ! Set in the picturesque town of Marsden the access to this at the downstream entrance was nice and easy at around 140 meters its not to long but quite broad ( in the middle ). Culverting the river Colne its also a tall culvert with a stone built weir at the halfway point ( which proved challenging to get past ) which attracted me to visit and finally get this one put to bed . Arriving early doors i parked up on Mill lane and got to work

a dead end room ! The floor was covered in fine silt so i guess water has brought the silt in but i could find no trace of a pipe or opening strange !
