Not bad but I'd be more interested as to what lies at the far end.


Late 70s early 80s schoolboy myth had it that at the end of the tunnel was a brick wall with a skeleton painted on it.

A brick wall might be a bit flimsy holding back tons of backfill but I like the painted skeleton myth.

JonoMc get your arse in gear and get some conclusive pictorial evidence of the far end of the tunnel posted... skeleton and all

And the shaft... don't forget the shaft FFS!

Took a walk down there on my lunch break the other day - pity I never had the camera with me so excuse the crap photography.  There's a lot of junk just inside the tunnel





There's a great hunk of concrete or something a way along the tunnel.  Doesn't look like it's come from the roof though  



I wonder what's down that hole..



Somebody's already been here



The steps leading back up from the tunnel

Ive walked this tunnel twice over the past two months but only half way inside. I have yet to walk the other half until the point where the tunnel is filled in. Ther is nothing in the holes apart from a few pipes with little oxidation. These holes continue all the way up the tunnel until where I walked it to (half way). There is a lot of junk in the tunnel, especially polystyrene. I have photos that I had taken though I am going back to the tunnel within the next few weeks if and when I get time so I will upload them to my website when I have revisited the tunnel. Not bad pics at all for a phone btw;) You done well!

Best Regards

Thanks Jonathan     One question:  how come you only walked half the length of the tunnel?  Are you planning to walk the full length on your next visit?  If so, will you post some pics and details of what you find at the other side?  I'm dying to get inside and explore to the far end

I'm presuming the padlock has been knocked off the gate for this tunnel?
