Report - west brook, Bradford, July 2016

[stranton]

The filthiest waterway I have ever had to walk along,
cooking oils, detergents, diesel, sewerage its literally a surface sewer
negotiating ankle breaking debris while
trudging through tons of knee high crap.

west brook, Bradford by stranton

The brook rises at Clayton,
heads north passing mainly through culverts
merging with the Bradford beck by Thornton road
length of about 4 miles.

Didn"t realise it was this bit of the system, although it"s cleaner than the Bradford Beck bit we did the other week

cooking oils, detergents,

Would this be from the eateries with the t'hot towel that are run by our friends from the subcontinent? Imagine it must get a bit pongy down there, as the night progresses in the curryhouses topside.
