Reid Manor Drain

There is people living up the hill from the drain, so be sure to be stealthy when entering as to not get seen, just to be safe.

As for inside, there’s not a lot besides the basic textbook draining hazards to worry about (air quality, flooding, sturdy ground, etc.) It's a VERY crouchy drain, I’m 6’1” and the top of the pipe entrance is barely even at my waist. So try not to hit your head or slip or anything while hunched over.

Not a lot to see here, this drain has almost zero features, but the unique oval pipe shape is intriguing. The first bit of the drain is an excruciating crouch, before it gets slightly bigger about 50-100 feet in, but still not exactly comfortable for someone as tall as me. However someone shorter might be able to fit comfortably.

On my visit, I walked down for a while, taking breaks for my back at manholes, before deciding the perseverance was futile and heading back out, ultimately seeing nothing to write home about. Just some cool graffiti and the unique oval pipe shape. I’d say check this place out if you're ever in the area but I wouldn't make it a big destination.

Happy exploring!

(This drain can also be found on UER, an older outdated urbex site which is considered one of OAP’s predecessors)
