It's never had a name but now most certainly it will live up to the seedy ginnel tag nicely.

i used to frequent the beck ,from around appleyards down to town with a girl called tracey wood (yes ,i was such a romantic,and knew how to spoil the girls) what i remember is the vivid colours of the waters,had to be from the tannery i suppose.also the eggy smell.oh! hang on a minute,we used to get onto a beck on lincoln green road,that one led into meanwood culverts (it came from under stoney rock lane) me thinks,though one has been known to make mistakes......from time to time.

Hey Phill d, seriously tho' is the holbeck viaduct accessable or is it railway property? would love to have a wonder along there in daylight!

No Rangie. It's a big slap on the wrist mega fine for trespass on railway property! a criminal offence & not a civil offence so i believe! not to be done! An example to be made off! Great view tho!

Bet it is, Shame about that! just looking at it on google earth, it's quite long! would be great if railways would open it as footpath like so many other disused railways!
