About

I first got an interest in drains when I found an open manhole in some wasteland. A set of rungs lead down, climbing down the first couple I hung there listening as my eyes adjusted finally able to see a shallow channel of water. After heading back a bit more equipped I got my first taste of an underground river, the Cornbrook.

  • Many of the drains featured were hard-won and required hours of research, followed by unsuccessful trips battling through vegetation on river banks before anything was found to explore.

    So please don't ask for locations of any of the drains featured on this site. If you want to try draining yourself, 28dayslater.co.uk is a good place to start.
