Dist:0.2km<br/>A small stream in Manor Woods Valley, which I suspect here functions also as a storm drain.

Dist:0.2km<br/>A significantly large piece of civil engineering, here covers a storm drain where it exits underground, presumably it acts as a filter to remove trees etc in times of flood.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This valley, and the streams south west of Bristol city centre, form a valuable amenity for residents and a vital ecological resource. The metal grating (seen downstream in the photograph) is part of the culverting and flood defences installed after disastrous floods affected the area in the 1960s. From here, water from several local tributaries is channelled beneath the city roads and eventually discharges into the Avon New Cut at Bedminster and Southville.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Malago is a quiet and unassuming stream most of the time. However, during the great flood of July 1968 it became a massive torrent and caused severe damage further into Bedminster. The Malago was then subject to major defence schemes - hence the storm Interceptor at the bottom of the Manor valley, built in the early 70s. See [[[2815283]]] for the upper section.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Malago encounters three weirs as it tumbles down off the Dundry slopes - this being the second in the Manor valley. See [[[2815283]]] for a closer look, or [[[2815295]]] for the vista downstream.
