Penk Rise river uncovered
For decades it has been concealed underneath tons of soil, but now a 330ft stretch of river has emerged after the completion of an £18,000 deculverting project.

The hidden section of the River Penk ran beneath Penk Rise Park in Tettenhall Wood, Wolverhampton, after it was piped and buried during the development of a housing estate.
Residents had called for it to be restored to its former glory as part of the Tettenhall Neighbourhood Plan.
And now their wishes have been granted thanks to two-week project funded by The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country, who carried out the work in conjunction with the Environment Agency.
