  • **This location is now sealed**
    Today we visit a place that few know of and fewer have been able to visit. Originally this was two separate sets of tunnels that where dug in the 1800's but during WW2, the military dug a very long tunnel to connect the two together. Used as both a command HQ and for public air raid precautions this set of tunnels has many remains from the war and plenty of period graffiti.

    I like the fact that you just speed up the video through the less interesting bits rather than just editing it out like most people this way we get to see everything. Keep up the good work.

    It's impressive how this large complex of tunnels is being maintained. Somebody must be making regular inspections, looking for structural weaknesses, and then installing appropriate reinforcements.

    I'm obsessed. I live in Fresno California. I discovered an entrance to what used to clearly be a much more complex tunnel system under the business at which i work. I did some research, and learned that the "Chinatown" section, and a few others had a complex tunnel worlds under our boring city. I have just committed to going down. Inspired by you. Cheers guys

      Fresno is the city of my birth, my father's birth, and my grandmother on my mother's side, also born here. I've heard quite a bit of the tunnels under old Chinatown, they've found broken china, and opium pipes and other things down there, while preparing that area for high speed rail. It's very interesting. There was Armenian town, German town and Little Italy also. My grandmother and dad grew up in Germantown.

    I appreciate your work. Although security might view you as trespassers of a sort, you are doing a good piece of raw historical documentation and making it available to the public. We shouldn't forget the necessary lengths taken by the allies, particularly those very geographically close to the enemies who saw great physical attacks on their homes, to protect their lands and especially the people therein. Explorations like this demonstrate how resourceful the Brits were.

    I really enjoy videos like this. Besides enjoying tunnels, they also inspire me to add tunnels to some of the game maps I occasionally create. For some reason, tunnels just hold something for me but I can't explain it. The different ways of support shown is interesting. The maze aspect of these tunnels is fascinating. Keep up the great work and exploration.

    18:47 - When I was a kid in the 1970s Fairy washing up liquid bottles used to look like that.
    In the late 70s Mr O'Connor, my primary school teacher, brought in an oil can just like that and a camping stove. He lit the stove, took the cap off of the can, and put it on top of the stove. He left it there for a few minutes, then took it off, put the cap back on the can, and we all watched with fascination as it collapsed in on itself.
    Love the old beer cans earlier on in your video, from previous decades, before current cold extrusion manufacturing techniques, when they used to weld together opposite sides of a sheet of steel or aluminium to form a tube with a seam, before adding the top and the bottom. That was back in the days when the ring pulls were designed to completely detach.

    Brilliant bit of tunnelling. I do know where you are, and I'm glad to see it. Love the huge pile of rusting 'Flimsies' (square fuel/oil cans used before the British in North Africa discovered the tough pressed steel cans the Afrika Korps were using, and adopted them for their own use, and known forever after as the 'Jerry Can'.), just rotting away. Fascinating stuff. Nice one.
    28:05 - I thought they were huge spiders at first, but they're seismic motion detectors. The numbers on the walls are to do with the monitoring of the unstable area, breaking it up into small 'districts' that can easily be monitored for movement.

      In my experience when empty metal containers are found

    I find my tunnels under Detroit. No, not the
    salt mine excavations that extend deep under
    the city. I'm looking for buried lower levels of
    vacated industry. My best find was a concrete
    chamber with dusty World War Two relics.
    Like identification papers regarding aircraft of
    the Axis Powers. Probably to assist surface
    civil defense locations that had searchlights
    and air raid sirens. Usually what I find are the
    drainage tunnels or manhole access to utilities.
    Found under soil and collapse rubble. Assisted
    by the Michigan Technological University and
    their Society for Industrial Archaeology. Try
    using Google Earth to locate a now sealed and
    disused tunnel in Detroit extending into Canada.
    Yup, big enough to drive your wheels through.

      @johnrauner2515 4 года назад +12

      What's above it isn't abandoned and empty. There's a fortification open to the public after payment of an excessive amount. And then between that surface fortification and these tunnels there is another tunnel system also open to the public, after payment of an amount that would make Dick Turpin blush. And this is in the center of a major city.
