Abandoned WW2 Tunnels Led to Huge River of SH*T
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Today we visit a section of abandoned WW2 tunnels that has been cut off from a larger set that we have already been to. What we didn't know is that deep in the tunnel system, a wall has been breached which lands you in a main sewage drain with a huge river of poo!
In 1939 a huge set of public air raid tunnels where built deep below the streets of a large costal town in order to protect up to 60,000 people. These tunnels are not open to the public and are extremely dangerous. Join us today as we venture deep into the tunnel system.

The white brick room at 28:58 was an old operating theatre and the ramped entrance leads to an old hospital so they could wheel bed and wheel chairs down during air raids. At 30:01 you can see my name on the wall. The entrance you used to get in has now been sealed up.
Yup, there you are 😂 Yes i was aware of this being the hospital entrance but had no idea about that brick bit being a theatre. Thanks for the info.
I forgot to mention. Not sure weather you see this; At 25:01 above the pile of mud there is a un-lined shaft belived to be an old well dug before the tunnels were built. The mud must be from the shaft as there was also the same mud in the shaft. I also know where the the manhole cover is leading to the ladder down the narrow shaft to the sewer. You may already know the location, if not i can tell you ?
Richard Burke how long ago since you was there?
@@paulharris5541 Twice in December 2018. It has to be my favorite tunnel network
@@richard3769 intresting stuff would love a look where is this manhole cover?
I can't imagine what it would have been like to have to worry about bombs being dropped on you and having to run down into tunnels. Truly frightening times.
I farted in my robe while watching this to try and mimic the stench! 😂
did it work? 😂
@@SubExploration Hell yeah it did 😂
great vid, love tunnels :0) we went to the ones at Ramsgate and have been in the tunnels at vimy ridge and arras on the western front :0) watch out for the poo particles as they can be very bad for your lungs. subbed and liked too :0)
Saludos de Argentina, muy arriesgado lo que hacen...
Great Video - Thanks for sharing. A couple of questions - Did you alert anyone that you would be down there ? I'd hate it if you got trapped and couldn't get out or pinpoint for people to find. Second question. Did you consider a "cave in" ? - Also yes amount a gas mask - 1 observation - I didn't observe rats or cockroaches other REALLY GREAT FILM Thanks Bridget (New Zealand)
Yes we had an outside guy who knew we were there. As for rock fall or cave in's, best not to think about that 😂
I love you guys keep up the good exploring
i came for the shelter but i stayed for the poo river
Most people do ;-)
Poo Patrol!
3 of my brothers are plumbers. My cousin owns a plumbing business. I have never seen anyone so excited about going into the sewers in my entire life. 17:55
You must be inside Tony Blair's mind, that river of shit is his thought processes! En route to his lips!
Like it.........got any more???
That's The funniest comment ive scene someone say. Lol
Tony Blair??? He hasn't been PM for almost a decade 😂 😂 sound like you have been stuck in these tunnels years pal.
28:04 the ‘copper’ colour is poo leaking from a sewer above!
yum 😂💩
And that wasn't mud they were shin deep in.
@@EnkiTwo Sure it was.... -Butt-mud :D
Dingo Nates there’s actually 95% of water in a sewer
the 486 kg man Yes I know - been there! But that leaves 5% poo! :-)
The "concrete room" is a cistern - probably fed by a spring.
Be careful of H2S gas (hydrogen sulfide) in the sewers, bring a 4 gas meter when you're in the tunnels
l33ta2 Yup your bang on! Especially sewer pipes! Just disturbing 'mud' can release enough to kill you . Some sort of oxygen monitor in tunnels and a toxic gas meter in/or around sewers.I assume a 4 gas meter (no clue) is enough for both?! I noticed an echo change and serious heavy breathing a couple of times in the tunnels of this video. They may or may not be due to low oxygen near some of the dead ends/collapses or even just my imagination. Either way running down a sewer pipe is just plain nuts! A small pocket of toxic gas can kill instantly. Not just H2S, people flush all kinds of chemicals, etc (that they should or SHOULDN'T) down toilets and drains. Good explore though none the less!! 👍🏻
Ah, just bring a red shirt.
You know, an "expendable," crew member.
Someone you can send in first, like miners would a 🐦 bird, to test the air quality back in the day.
You'll be fine. 👍
we would wear BA deep in the system
At least that gas you can smell pretty strongly, well, at first anyways given it is one of those you can numb to as I understand it.
Good tip
Not just making a video but "going through the motions too!"
Nothing better than a fast flowing river of poo ... Get your mask, snorkel and flippers . Dive in !!!!
Peace 🇬🇧😄
Perhaps you should go first to show us how its done 😂👍
@@SubExploration still great shows guys .... always enjoy your vids. WICKED
Peace 🇬🇧😄
I could smell the poo leaking out my laptop!
BTW, might want to update your tetanus vaccinations. Probably a couple others as well.
At the twenty minute mark, I started laughing. When ye started screaming " Burn ye boots! " I was in tears!!! Brilliant! :D
The calkfull you climed over at 12:56 leads to liverpool lawn. This entrance was filled in shortly after building the tunnels because it created too much airflow. I belive the chalkfulls in this spur tunnel was caused by demolition and building work above.
Nice, thank you for the extra info 👍
Richard, you should be filming your explorations, and including the info too. It's very interesting reading your comments.
When you said they had to drop the bombs or they would get in trouble for not dropping their load I think it's more of a case of the return flight home for fuel and landing with bombs on board would be a possible danger?
Steven Hills I was going to say that they’d want to shed any excess weight as they’d be running low on fuel by that time
I live in america and i say "proper" now. I blame you lol. Love the films mate
Proper good mate 😉👍
Proper stuff mate ! 🇬🇧
It amazes me that such amazing tunnels were built in such a short time, love anything to do with WW2, I live near Island Farm, Bridgend, there is a famous story about 84 german POWs escaping, the Natzi equivalent to the great escape, most of it has been demolished and it is now a housing estate but the locals fought to keep a small bit of it and won thankfully. I work in the building which was the main HQ of the huge ROF, it is now police HQ, it has been modernised in recent years but there are still a lot of the old buildings left on the site but my childhood playground was the little known Pencoed Hostels, aka, army stores, which is now a housing estate. Not forgetting the 8x's, Brackla, huge concrete storage tunnels, there are a few left, privately owned and very secure, Dr Who was filmed in one of them, most have been demolished and guess what, houses have been built over them, gutting, sorry about the war and peace rant, lol
It's the same in New Zealand (where I Live) and the Pacific islands.. the tunnels and underground bunkers were build to a high standard in record time. With all equipment nd materials shipped around the world from England on expidited shipping. Everything was exactly the same as the built in England.
Btw I know a few people from Brigeend!
Really interesting !! Looking at the old maps of this tunnel system it looks like that sewage chamber is blocking access the the rest of the tunnels ? I guess that pipe you crawled through is an overflow maybe. Off to find the other vid now :-)
Hard to believe the drug users, thieves or poor have not stripped the copper wire from those tunnels from what I saw in this video looks like over $ 10,000 worth.
Al Sp stripping it out ie stealing the copper wire
Haha that section of the sewer is only gonna be dry like that until the World Cup finals during half time, so be careful!!!
Surely that’s not mud, it’s sewage ¿
@7:45 "August 6th, 1945" I wonder how long the poor guy stayed there. The rest of England were so busy celebrating and drinking, they forgot about poor old Morton down in the tunnel. Maybe he is still there, like Smeagol. All pale, bald, and hunched over. His clothes have probably rotted off. Most likely he is completely insane by now and lives off cannibalizing people who go exploring the tunnels. If anyone gets separated from the group they may be eaten by Morton. Your flashlights are probably the best defense. Shine them in his eyes, it will blind him after 70+ years living in the dark. Don't let your flashlights battery die.
😂
8/6/1945 is the day Hiroshima was bombed. Japan quit the war about a week later. “It is a good thing that war is so terrible, lest we should grow too fond of it.” Lees words from past a hundred and fifty years ago still ring true. I can’t imagine trying to sleep or live in these tunnels.
I'd be afraid after all the twists and turns you've made, you'd get tired and lost in that maze! You could spends days down there looking for a way out!
Some historian really ought to properly document all that graffiti.
Agreed!
paint over all of it i hate graffiti
@@ufos15630 Ordinarily, so do I, but these particular graffiti were put there as a way for people who were enduring a harrowing and horrific time in their history, and made their marks as a way to let the world outside know that, if they should not survive, they had once lived and breathed. It was a way for them to claim a bit of immortality, which really is what ALL graffiti are.
These graffiti at least are not in anyone's face, marring the urban landscape. They're hidden away out of sight.
@@ufos15630 that would be the biggest graffiti of them all.
The date on one of the graffiti says August 1945, VE day was May 1945. So I imagine the explanation your mate gave was correct about most being 1945 because they were recording for posterity, maybe before the shelter was closed down. The last conventional bombings on London were January 1944. The last ever bombings were two V2's in March 1945, but of course, you didn't know they were coming, so they probably wouldn't of been in the shelter.
Putting the poo tube on youtube.
I like it! I agree! Putting the poo tube on RUclips!
Go down you said, see a poo shoot you said,
Go bad news,. That's not mud.... Leaking sawage pipe?
Did you all not get tummy upsets or norovirus after visiting the sewers? That river of sewage....... It could have all sorts in it.....
Does EKCO Plastics ring any bells ? ..
RUclips, meet Pootube. At least you didn't see a fatberg.
I do not want to bump into one of those 😂
Guys are all worried about gas from the mine but you climb into a sewer where it's loaded with methane and who knows what pathogens.
Be careful of bad air and gases in places like this.
Don't bother getting a gas meter, next time just take a cannery in a cage, if it drops dead then you know your next. 😏
That tube going on in the other direction may be storm sewer, maybe old CSO overflow to a river
Because the tunnels were built so fast and because it was a matter of National Security most of the time there were no plans drawn up and kept so it's hard to find a lot of these places but as for the sewers those are public record and especially with those being new construction you should be able to go to the county or city offices and get copies or at least look at the maps to see where the sewer lines go
There's something really creepy about a baby stroller being in a mine
You went to the poo river? Are you mad? Well you are British. So....yup. :P
Answer me one question if we had to build things like this again who would fund it who could build it , this was done 130 years ago to save lives only thing I see now is how to save money
I wonder if they used 2 phase wiring.
That might have been 2 phase and a neutral wire
There must be a sewer pipe that is broken if poop 💩💩💩 is leaking in there
Nasty guys. Breathing those smells has to be bad for your lungs.
Deek the charva with the can of Stella (red top) 😂 got a black eye too 😂 😂
As always good work. Thanks for taking us along. I am happy that you did not show the little brown gators like that one time.
Have you thought about getting an oxygen and gas meter?
Yes we have looked into gas meters. Good ones are very expensive so for now i'll just send badger in first 😂
@@SubExploration Retired mine gear might be something to look into. I think I would try to contact AvE and see if he has some ideas about where to get your hands on some good used gear for a reasonable price. We don't want to see you have to deal with an oxygen starved badger. Not good for you or badger. Stay safe and Thank You for not going down into the real river of poo aka Brown Gators. Sometimes they try to fool you by changing colors. Have you had to burn much in the shoe and clothing budget this year?
That pipe , is it running down hill away from the large sewer?
In Russia tunnels guarded by Federal Security Service. I belive, human wastes stored in depth reservoirs for fermentation and transform to black oil...
They repurposed the bunker entrance and tunnels into sewers
No pooing around guys down there @ the old sewers tunnel.
i'm wondering if that's better or worse than finding a river of slime
To many on this explore. 2-3 is enough.
20:23
Your welcome.
Underworld path to the river "Stinks".
I fast forwarded to the shit river and then started over.
Here in the USA , there are tunnels but only for the rich politician rats . There’s nothing for the civilians , but the bill payment for the building of “their escape tunnels” . And see D.U.M.B. Bases for , again, only the military .
God bless my British Brothers and Sisters !
Oh yes, the politicians here also have the best tunnels and shelters.
Sometimes when I hear about how the things are made in America I feel you are always ready to save or give opportunities for the richest minorities. A lot of year ago I was surprised with the argument of the movie "Deep impact" . The gouvernement knew a meteorite was going to crash onto the Earth and they kept the secret because they wanted to save "an elite". What the fucking way of thinking is that? Can you imagine if you let to everybody to build their own safe shelters just letting them to get prepared ? what kind of sick mind it could imagine only elites surviving?
Well, the only part of the United States that took any bombing was Hawaii.
We've got massive Bomb shelters and Military "Hard-Points," (Like Ft Casey,) with tunnels and Pill boxes etc. all around Seattle, but the UK was actually bombed relentlessly during WW2.
The civilians were in just as much danger, and certainly died in greater numbers back then.
Not many of us over here in Washington State even saw the war first-hand unless we joined up and left!
And there's thousands of years more human history in Europe to explore!
I'd love to go, but not just as a tourist.
I'd want to have the time to explore like the locals can.
@@twstf8905 also Alaska , in fact the Japanese landed there
Yes and they will perish when the earth quakes squeeze them inside those coffins
Guess you guys aren’t claustrophobic? Haha... better you than me climbing down those tunnels.
Thoroughly enjoy whatever you post, please keep it up!
May be you could take a metal detector with you and see what you can find hidden stash??
The reason the bombers used to dump their bombs was because it was dangerous to land with a load of bombs
Snorkeling gear ad vised for the poo run lol
Bring a kayak as well next time, lol.
Ah hi guys, #HellOnEarth, an hello to you all.
I live in America, wish we had more places like that here to explore.. Cool videos...
You do, you just don't know it.
Freaky Shit, an address in that wall is literally round the corner from my child hood home and belonged to an elderly lady who ran me over when I was a kid, wonder if it's anything to do with her 😮
nice 👌
Very claustrophobic tunnels with a stream of lovely crusted over shit as a reward part way through. Imagine part of that low roof coming down during an air raid ! Scary times.
It's a bloody shame that people go into these historic beautiful places and destroy its beauty..it's disgusting actually.....enjoyed your History lesson....
Yes it's a real shame but unfortunately it's very difficult to stop people.
How did you get back out again?
Nice explore and a great bunch of fellas, no bullshit and straightforward-I like it. Keep it up.
Best regards, Sam.
Thank you sir!
Yall gonna contract the Black Plaque down there...
I suspect the reason why so many of those bits of graffiti were written and dated in 1945 was because they were written at a time when they knew it would be the last time they were going down them and so, wanted to leave a momento and knew the authorities weren't likely to fine or arrest them for vandalism knowing they weren't going to be used again. Smooth concrete is much easier to write on with a pencil than rough chalk!
You have to wonder why they bothered to cover over that sewer pipe, seeing as, technically, it's going to be left undisturbed. I guess it offered some protection from potential rock fall.
You'd never get me to go into the, 'poo tube', section you went into. Interesting to see, though. That vertical bit massive and shows just how deep you are underground. Have to be careful going down dry sewer pipes, especially with the danger of methane gas. You should have a meter of some kind, just in case. I've a sneaking suspicion that it's mud you're wading through down that tunnel.
Yes we suspected as much when it came to the graffiti. As for the pipe, who knows. Perhaps to secure it in place.
@@SubExploration yes. The weight and pressure of water in a big pipe like that is considerable. It would move and/or burst its sides without being surrounded by support. Would be, er, messy...
25:08 That mud is probably overflow from the sewer beneath you - which ironically is the overflow for the main system during rainy weather. But I bet what has happened is the overflow sewer you were walking on top of in the WW2 tunnels was just put in with out any watertight seals between the joins, or possibly when they were putting the fill over top of the pipe sections to lock them into position, the digger nudged them out of position near this point. In either case, this location has a leak in the overflow sewer so when ever the overflow is operating near capacity it spills out into this section of tunnel, which then drains back into the sewer once the flow has reduced. But of course the solids settle on the WW2 tunnel floor which is what you are walking on. Enjoy.
That name is my family's name major price what was the date by it please xx
I have had a look back at the footage and the only reference I can see to the name "Price" is at 8:38. If this is the correct one then I’m afraid that I couldn't see a date.
Awesome, good to see this place from your perspective, we only had 2 hours down here so we couldn't explore the long tunnel which wentto the right in the thumbnail 👍
23.31 Purposely closed?
That is where the shit goes ...
6:02 That original lighting probably just fell down on its own.
Shit reminds me of the Catacombs In Paris
Am I the only one who wonders HOW they dug and placed the pipes under the tunnel floors? 🤔
Nope, I often wonder as to how they engineered these places. And in such a short timeframe as well.
A hundred men with spades.
Just search Sir Joseph Bazalgette.
Who's got the shitty square led torch. I came to watch the ww2 tunnels but find myself really enjoying the poo tube stuff haha
lol
Don’t listen to them having a go about your new Olight . I was really impressed with it but I did say you had to promote it because you had been given it .
I went to the Olight site through your link and earmarked a few and took the plunge .
I love your videos although you do scare the hell out of me .
Now that graffiti is better than today’s .
You should photograph them and publish locally in the library. I’m sure those people will never be down there again but have fond memories .
The local Dockyard takes photos in for their archives. Maybe they would be interested.
Sub Exploration I did my thesis on Manchester docks and I was given an amazing amount of archive stuff including a 16mm film which I have to have properly treated and take it to, I presume, Manchester’s museum .
This was an instant classic! Thanks for letting me come! It was amazing!
Any time mate 👍
21:40 Looks like an overflow for when the sewer system is overloaded during rain storms.
exactly what it is , used to work the system here in Aus, same build systems
When you see the paper waste on the hand rails in the large sewer chamber (think about that when you're touching the rails), you can think about how much flow they would have through there. I'd love to go exploring but you get to an age when all the dangers start to add up (e.g. gasses, and running into other people).
I like the way you went of track guy's... I'll wait for the video of the exploration through the Poo pit tunnels 😂😂🙈🙈💩
😂
I have seen the name Mary carved on another video in chalk walls. Chalk tunnels in Dover by memory.
I seen that video as well. They thought it might have been the wife of the builder Mary forde. Maybe the same time Mary.
I know someone called mary... That's 3 Mary's we know of.
@@cooperwilliams4686 congratulations. But I was referring to Mary forde possibly.the builders wife.but you would know that because you follow these types of videos.
Happy Friday to me! Sub Ex posted a video!! Great explore on this one! Might rank in the top 3 videos of all of yours I've seen. Keep up the bad ass work! I would pay to tag along with you guys on something like this!
mud = old poo overflowed
That's doodoo, bruh...
Hi, wow those tunnels were pretty expansive and some parts were still in quite good condition. When you saw that raised area above the pooh tunnel well in the pic there was a piece of rag/tissue, I'm wondering if that area may flood because how else would that nasty piece of material get there ?. I hope you lads washed your hands after lmao ewww. A brilliant video as always, thanks for your hard work. x
Oh yes im confident that this section floods upwards and brings rags with it 😂
Stop censoring yourself
RUclips stops you from making money on adverts if you swear in videos.
It was very annoying having those words edited out.
No wonder IKS didn't join you. They obviously are aware that this would be poo tube tour, lol. Step lightly!
Any ghost ?????
holy sh*t folks 🍻
“I’M GOIN DOWN!!!
Why 1945? The Germans, in a last ditch attempt at defiance, sent over thousands of V1 and V2 missiles, from sites deeper in France and in the low countries. The guidance on these was random, to say the least, and while most did fall on London, others fell short, or wandered off course completely. A V1 'Doodlebug', for instance, crashed in the grounds of Glemham Hall, near Woodbridge, in Suffolk, damaging one whole side of the building, and breaking every window in the place. Glemham Hall is miles from any large town. The randomness of yer actual Vergelstungwaffen, either Ein or Zwei, was terrifying enough for those in range to seek shelter. 26:40 - is that mud, or is it shit? I don't like the look of the yellow water in the puddles. 28:04 - I'm not keen on that pus coloured slime dripping from the ceiling, either. Very nasty indeed.
Now I've watched everyone else's vids of this place including the guys who are with you, I came back and watched this again. So much more interesting with all that extra context.
My key favourite references to this video are as follows:-
4:35, 5:09, 6:43, 7:00, 7:48, 8:08, 8:27, 9:40, 9:55, 11:35, 12:20, 12:50, 13:11, 13:25, 14:30, 15:18, 16:03, 16:40, 17:05, 17:48, 18:07, 18:20, 18:28, 18:48, 19:20, 19:49, 19:58, 20:20, 20:25, 20:38, 21:25, 21:31, 21:58, 22:20, 22:30, 23:23, 24:30, 24:40 & 24:58.
Quality 😂
Sub Exploration This video is quality-my favourite of the year and best RUclips video *ever!*
You have to go back to the opened sewer just to see where it goes! Perhaps sit on a motorised skateboard to save your back! :)
not a bad idea
He mentioned the date August 6, 1945 written on the wall. That's the day the us dropped the bomb on Japan
Hell of a workout for a river of shit as a special treat. :P Yuck... Seriously though that was a blast to watch. Great exploration! Well done. Thanks so much for sharing with us all. :>
Poo Tube sounds like a dodgy knock off you tube for scat fans!
😂💩
Condensation from POO 😂😂😂😂👍🏻
I call it "poodensation" 😆
