I've not seen Flo Selecta posted on here yet

This used to be a drainer tourist hotspot but it hasn't had much traffic in recent years

The Markeaton Interceptor Storm Relief Culvert also known as "The Flo Selecta" and "The Markeaton Interceptor" is a storm relief culvert running under Markeaton park taking water from the Markeaton basin across through Derpy city center, and out into the River Derwent. The culvert was constructed in 1938 in response to the 1932 flooding of the area with various improvements made in 2006. For the most part the culvert is made of concrete and brick construction and approximately 12ft high. Access points can be found at regular intervals, the largest of which rises up by 8 floors. The culvert is almost one and a half miles in length and takes water from the Markeaton basin across Derby and out into the River Derwent.
This is a selection of pics from various visits
