They must have built an embankment over those pipes. It's where that Google street view is though would you agree? The picture shows two culverts starting to converge. As intimated one is the wyke back the other the easterley road beck and today you can see the pair converge as they come from underground. The road level is well above the culverts here so as you say there's been some groundworks altering the land levels.On the other pics the "ford" seems to be the easterley road beck as it runs over asket hill. That's the two becks coming out at the dib lane side.I remember in the late 70's the thing being re-arranged and rebuilt that side. I was not aware any of it was a "sewer" as per Leodis quote......Is that this too?http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... ifier=9031

The stream on the right is the original course/temporary flow while they built the culvert to its left, into which it was then diverted. But why build a second culvert parallel to the new one? Perhaps they understimated the flow???? I can follow that!! But as I say I recall it all being re-arranged in the seventies. Will have a look and compare with the pics......

It must have a fine sight at the time not a sight we ordinary people would have seen. I use top play tigs in the old house that used to be at one end of that bridge also further up north lane used to be a building called mayo house and our den was on top of a stone summer house covered in ivy and there was an old grave in the garden as well it may have been animal though...wonderful days and here`s my class at Asket Hill school

Perhaps they understimated the flow???? Can't remember where we were with this but the 1:2500 maps on old maps show the ford as being on asket hill and the two streams are engineered to meet where a weir holds back the water. The water goes along a watercourse for Foundry Mill abd the overflow into the wyke beck straightened for the corn mill.It would have been good to see a picture before the works, which would have been the the third time the arrangement had been dug up and "channeled" over 400 years.
