Think I guessed what, but where?

How well do you know Leeds?

No clues on any old maps to what that outall was for, or where it came from. There was a Whitehall Mills on that spot, but no mill ponds, sluices, or where the water feed came from? No idea.

The river was [is] very fast flowing for a dry spell though so presumably there's plenty of water draining further upstream. That's what makes me think it's either a diversion of the river or the drain for the dry dock. I'm still sticking with my original theory though as the canal is flowing over the locks so I can well believe it has enough water to flow through the dry docks and out into the river -- where else would it go?

Not seen him on here for an age, hope everything is ok? Chameleon, the 'Gene Hunt' of Moderators, "Firm but Fair", they say of him. Probably avoiding the Olympics, somewhere nice.
