trambo Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Just had thought, knowing the close proximity of your yard, would it be the culverts to Whitlingham Marsh at Postwick viaduct? If not some past culvert at May Gurneys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddfellow Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nope. If it helps, it's not close to our boat yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBA Marine Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Yes Andy that really helps to narrow the search, so it could be anywhere but Thorpe!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddfellow Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Mark! Many suggestions have been for something local to us, so it's a little help. It's Broadland but not Thorpe or Norwich based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it under the Yare up river from the Haven Bridge. From the car park of Havenbridge House to Shipleys Veterinary Practise that was. I had in fact walked it as a sprog but was s**t scared of being found out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Is it a water mill wheel race ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRascal Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This is annoying me. But we have some clues it is not in Norwich/Thorpe. Whatever it is – is underground, and I can see no natural daylight. It narrows out at the far end and there is a ladder up to something. I don’t think it is discharges water from above out, more takes water in from possible a dyke (wider part) then is sucked up and out (narrower part) so I think it may well be a water pump – one that is an ‘electric conversion’ hence why the braces are looking very old but not looking like could be a ‘water mill’ (wind powered). As for where and the name no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 When you enhance the far end, it doesn't look like a ladder, more like some sort of water lifting mechanism. When you turn the photo upside down and look carefully at the reflection, it lets you see into the upper end of the tunnel, presumably up to ground level. There appears to be a grid and a slot with daylight showing through them. I think Robin may be right, and it could be an intake sluice to some sort of pump. The marks on the side showing the varying water level could be tidal effect, about 2ft rise and fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
