The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

In the foreground is Two Trees Lane Detention Tank and Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) belonging to United Utilities. CSOs act as relief valves letting excess storm water be released to rivers or the sea. This helps protect properties from flooding and prevents sewage backing up into streets and homes during heavy rainfall.
