Had my eye on this place for some time now. Don't know why I haven't done it before! Myself, Clough and Fowle ventured into Batley armed with waders and lighting for some more drainy banter.
We walked as far as we could upstream, helped a load of pigeons escape that were trapped behind some netting, then began the downstream stroll, snapping on the way.

Not that much further downstream is the Transporter Drain (seen >>HERE<< (http://www.urbexforums.co.uk/showthread.php/10310-Transporter-Drain-Dewsbury-Oct-2010?highlight=transporter)) where we all got stupidly soaked last October!
Thanks for looking :thumb
