Getting the train into Huddersfield the other week, I noticed a small stretch of water disappear underground!!
So good old Google maps, an OS map, and some clues in the street names helped me find a water course about 1mile long.
Never seen any pictures from inside this place, and I've trawled the net to see if anyone else has done it, and found only one picture of an in fall where someone had named it 'the pits drain'.
Personally, I don't think that taking a photo of only the in fall gives you naming rights, and so I give you......

Named after Grimescar Dike, and the fact that in places you're back is pretty much doubled over!!!

Thanks for Fowle and Clough for being the lighting bitches again :D
