    So you clambered out on Bath Street, basically a stone's throw from the bottom of St. Anns Well Rd. Presumably the culvert was needed as the Leen had been messed with and filled in and it was necessary to provide housing for all the factory workers by building road after road of Victorian terraces in Sneinton.
    I'm a bit late watching this, but as I'm local, this was extremely fascinating. Thank you.

    I love Nottingham, it's in my heart although I'm a visitor, from near Worksop. It's a lovely city, but mysterious. They claim there are so many tunnels, that they sometimes discover new ones. The rock it's said, is soft, like the castle rock. So easy to work. This tunnel was meant to last. I used to find it amusing, that you had to go upstairs, in the old now demolished Broadmarsh shopping centre, to go down to the caves.
    The tunnels were said, apart from waterways, used for storage, escape routes in times go by, and living accommodations. In America, an estimated 20'000 people live in the Vaga storm drain. Thank you for a fascinating tour. Great camera work. Stay safe.

Many thanks to you and Andrew.

      I'm hugely claustrophobic, and have panic disorder, but I find myself drawn to these videos nonetheless. It's like a lure.
      I'm interested in rivers and their tributaries and following them on maps anyway, so hidden rivers are even more exciting. I'd be too scared to go in these places myself so love watching these videos instead.
      Culverts and drains still creep me out though!

    Another pearler production Ant, all my time in Nottingham and I didn't know it existed. There is Beck St in the city centre opposite the old Palais which used to go north east as far as the start of St Anne's Well Rd. I think you are well to the east of this area so the name may be unrelated to this tunnel. St Anne's Well was totally destroyed by the building of the Nottingham Suburban Railway. Those Victorians didn't have planning restrictions like we do nowadays!

      The lift goes down to a small roadway that runs along the same path as the arcade with a turning circle at the end.
      There's a few lifts and stairways up to the entrances you see beside the arcade doors which also go up to the rest of the council house. The shops have entrances down there too and the shared bins.
      Sadly there's no access to super secret underground facility that apparently exists below the market place and not the old toilets 🤣

    If you'd have carried on you would entered the subterranean level of the telephone exchange across the road from the park. Its the 2nd tallest building in Nottingham with at least 4 subterranean levels. You can hear the water trickling down there.

    How many years did it take to build. Think of the men that built it. Every brick was carefully placed by hand. Its still in very good condition. The part where the train line goes over is not so good though. Its very rusty.

      That part with the train line goodness knows how old that plating must be. 4.5 million bricks carefully laid on a curve like that. Very skillful
