Close beside the road in Calver is the tail or outfall of Brightside Sough, a drainage tunnel which was driven to help unwater the lead mines to the south west. It is almost now completely silted up but a strong flow of water still emerges from beneath a keystone in the trough-like structure on the road side. A popular place for washing cars nowadays!
