GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN R.I.P.
help needed are there any engineers out there who work out the restriction in the Aston Brook culvert there appears to be a run off flume upper left side of photograph.
Could this have been used by Martindales for a power water supply or some other reason or was it a pressure release when the Brook was running at an high level.
As you can see from the brickwork it appears to have been put there to restrict the water flow, the culvert runs on for about one hundred yards then turns left and runs level with the factory which it self runs level with Alma street before going under the buildings and crossing Alma street to carry on to Newtown Row.
There are photographs and diagrams on the Martindale thread.
there is a gradual smooth bend just at the back of this photograph
