Theres not much to see, but I suggest you put you wadders on, its deep in places.

Thanks for that - but I don't know all the street names. All I recall is the river behind the Bridge Pub were it went into a tunnel then as far as I understood it, it came out at the other end of the carpark in Accy Town Centre out of a very well made concrete tunnel.
I wouldn't actually go down there - it was a mere fantasy. I suppose there are town plans that show the exact course of the river under the town!
It must have been cleaned up these days though and the source of it's name - "Stink" no longer relevant?
We used to fish for trout in the stream from Warmden Reservoirs down passed Broadoak, caught many trout there in the 70's and eaten them - very tasty!
