View this post on Instagram Start of three mile 10 foot diameter sewage tunnel to Esholt Sewage Works opened in 1923. What is the building for? Was it originally for ventilation? access? Did someone build a brick barbecue on the side? 😉 . Bradford Corporation's solution to the overloaded Frizinghall works was to build a huge works on the banks of the Aire at Esholt and build a tunnel to divert waste to it. . You can hear the liquid waste roaring below on pic 3 💩😋 . There is an indentation on one side which looks like it may have had a metal plaque recessed into it, now gone. #bradford #sewage #tunnel #unusualbuilding #frizinghall A post shared by John | Exploration and history (@merrytrek) on Dec 9, 2019 at 2:58pm PST
