River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the fourth week of September, 2016.
Adjacent to The People’s Park, a large compound is the site of continuing work along this section of the river. Some of the works are nearing completion.
Work here along the riverbank, between Glenwood and The Maltings, involves stabilisation measures (digging out a channel, and dropping in large boulders) intended to reinforce this newly constructed/shaped length of bank.
At the side of the Glenwood Road housing is a little strip of land, which previously culverted a stream. They laid new drainage piping last year. And now, they’ve neatly finished over with a little waterfall feature. Very pleasing aesthetically. I wonder whether there wlil be public access to a pathway on that opposite bank at some stage, running on towards Killarney Glen?
This is a regular, albeit not ‘the’ favoured stalking patch for our Hunter Heron friend.
The sun was against me as I took a few quick shots with my hand-held camera.
