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.
