When it comes to massive drains Niagara really takes a lot to beat. The now defunct power generating infrastructure that once littered the area has given way to a multitude of tunnels and tailraces that on their own easily justify a trip to Canada. Tonight we planned on visiting one of those tunnels. The William B. Rankine Generating Station Tailrace.

So here we have our next drain of the trip, Humble Howard. Not much to say about this one really, which is surprising given its size. Waders on, onwards to the steaming manhole.

We sat at the metro stop, totally exhausted from the night’s activities and a day of being lame tourists. I felt like spreading out a nearby paper and going to sleep right there, but we had one more goal to achieve, the Williamsburg bridge.

Lets face it, if your here chances are you already know or have heard of ”Confluence” aka, The Niagara Tailraces or The Supervillian Hideout. As such i don’t feel the need to go into the history, its already posted elsewhere and in greater detail then i ever could. If however history is your bag then the links at the bottom of the page will provide ample information to get you off.

So here with have the Heron Tower, a new skyscraper for London’s financial district. With a height of 230m upon completion, 202m excluding the spire it is now the second highest building in the United Kingdom (1 Canada Square still retaining 1st place)

Our journey in Wales was coming to a close. We had a little spare time before we had to return to London, so a quick visit to Dunkin’ Doe Nuts aka The River Ebbw Fawr was in order.
