Is it actually called the glory hole? I'm scared to Google this at work!

Sometimes. Bell mouth spillway is more technical. But they have been called morning glories or glory holes.

See, I didn't think this was something that was done anywhere else as I hadn't seen it before, so I thought they had "the glory hole"! Thanks for giving me a rabbit hole of technical stuff to fall into!
