It's important that this area be cleaned up and access restored. It seems to be your main building supports, plumbing, electrical ect. Left sealed up like this you'd never know about foundation erosion from water intrusion or mold issues or any number of problems. You simply CAN'T ignore this area like previous owners did. Here in Canada many old apartments and houses have foundation failure because owners seal up sub basements like this, and they just degrade and collapse once they fill with water. Regardless of ownership or zoning this area CANNOT be sealed back up the way it was. It's super important that this be dealt with. It may even be able to be turned into living space if there is no water seepage! Extra house space!!
Came here thinking exactly this. Not only does OP absolutely need to have a bunch of contractors to come in to properly check and renovate this place, but also prolly talk to their bank about borrowing against the increased value of the place. Not only is this a project that needs to be done (depending on where they are, the locality might require them to do it to prevent the place from being condemned), but extra space like this even if minimally restored could easily add half again the value of the house. People out here complaining about how it's haunted, but there are plenty of priests everywhere and any good contractor is superstitious enough that they're so thoroughly warded from gremlins that a simple wrathful ghost couldn't touch 'em.
It looks mostly like masonry & a grey silt, like wet ash, on the floors. I noticed big black plastic bags attached to the wall. I shouldn’t think it’s been closed up too long ie maybe a decade less. Where will this story go?
Get a skip, empty it out, re floor, point the walls and damp proof them and you have an extra floor to your house, like it was before you were there - storage, wine celler, party room all in the one area, cant go wrong!
It's a coal shoot. For delivering coal from the front of the house. It looks like the foundations of a big house. Servants would have come down to shovel the coal. The rest was probably used as storage.
It's just a normal cellar. A bit neglected maybe, but really nothing special. With a bit of attention it could be used for all sorts of things, wine cellar, store room, workshop etc.
PleSe add this as part of your home! Even better do research on who owned that house under your home perviously! Find out the history please!!!!!! I absolutely need to know.
You said at the end exactly what I was thinking! I would definitely not sleep well with all that connected to my house! Amazing but biting my nails the more you walked! lol
I would definitely check out the history and original architect plans for this house. You have a very old cellar and basement. The fireplace and chimney were probably the original kitchen and cooking stove where the servants cooked and coal / wine cellar. You could make a fabulous basement flat underneath, add extra value to your flat and a rental income. Old buildings hold fascinating history.
I have something like that… With several access chutes in ceiling, it could just be an old coal storage bins. They would shovel coal through the chutes for several months storage.
I know this video is 6months old, but I think it's a boiler room. They would dump coal and other stuff into that big area (that area accessible by the road), and then the small area is where the boiler used to be that would heat the home that the first area at 0:20 that is where the coal boiler used to be you can see the ventilation holes up near the top where the air was circulated. As for the little hole that you didn't want to walk in, my guess is that just gives access to the foundation. What does surprise me though is the shear amount of garbage down there, It's such a mix, not sure how that all got down there. The smell you're smelling my guess is it is similar to a rotten egg smell, which is probably decomposing organic matter that is suffocating due to lack of oxygen which can happen if you get too much water.
Stuff probably dumped by the other apartment owners. The managing body should have it tidied up, install a grate & grill in the ceiling opening, and turn it into storage. I had a similar situation when I inspected an apartment for sale last week. It had a private storage room that was on the title, and a small door in the storeroom led to a utility nook behind where the furnace was. Someone had knocked a hole in the wall of the nook & behind it was the sub-basement where the building foundations & plumbing were.
Yes. I was thinking something like this. The rotten egg smell is caused by burning sulphurous coal. It mixes with water in the air and you get the rotten eggs smell.
This! 😂 The tunnels are just different rooms. Was probably inhabited years ago by maids of the house, used as a kitchen or storage. Access to the road would have been for coal deliveries or beer if an old pub. I've been in plenty of these cellars in my time just like this. They always look like this.
I’m willing to bet if this is under your flat and connected to it that these may be old maintenance tunnels.more than likely condemned for safety reasons or perhaps because they no longer had any use for them. Edit: judging by the plastic containers down there it looks like it may have been closed fairly recent, maybe as late as the 80s or as recent as the early 2000s. I’m sure you could ask whomever sold you the flat or is leasing it depending on your situation. Maybe your local library may have clues as well, good luck!
0:52 Clearly not been bricked up all that long (if it even was sealed up other than at your end), that was a plastic supermarket bread tray I saw there wasnt it? those cant have been around in that style much more than a couple of decades at most surely, you sure there isnt access from some other end of these tunnels?
As you live in flats guessing groung floor. Its looks like basement coal bunkers used to be commond with coal fires or there wound be bunkers within the area of block of flats similar to a row of brick sheds for storing coal/fire wood
This would be a huge undertaking but imagine it all cleaned up and turned into useable space. Even if just for storage…. Or the most awesome Halloween haunted house EVER! You could charge an entry to the dungeon.
oh wow it would be really interesting to go through all the tunnels and see how far they lead, and maybe to do some online research to find out it’s past uses
The lady that lived in my last rental home *DIED* because the landlord covered over a space like this that filled chest derp with water, dead rats, and washed in grass clippings - which all fermented, creating black mold, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and methane. Too low of levels to be detected in blood or whatever (she had been tested for all kinds of stuff) but she just kept getting sicker, more brain fog, docs dismisding. She gave up her kids and died the next week. Nobody knew until I moved in, recognized signs of chronic poisoning from a home I'd been poisoned in, got it professionally tested, and found this plus many other toxic violations (radon, CO, improperly vented everything, dangerous electrical, etc...). Moktai3898 is exactly right - you cannot ignore this.
You're in the back rooms now... Seriously though, the first one looks like a coal bunker, with a hole/chute above where they'd have poured it in from the street. The rest may well have been service quarters (laundry etc) - depends on the size of the entire property really.
@@OoohAaah6603that's why you have air circulation. Air in and comes out thru a carbon filter. Won't take that long before it starts to dry out. Transpiration is the technical term for air flow drying things.
@@aeonsbeyondone way fan blowing new air in and old air goes out thru a carbon filter. With a few heating mats, this will be dry as dry within 2 weeks.
That hole in the ceiling was part of the main road above her. Imagine falling into that hole and landing in those pitch black tunnels with all the exits sealed... 😮
Just because your finding this space doesnt mean its part of your house when its a building that has multiple homes within it. Its like finding a basement with closed off access in your condo. You dont own that basement. It was probably all closed off when they turned it into individual homes within the main building. They block off whats not part of what they want to be part of the individual living spaces they are selling. Its how they turn old manufacturing buildings or old mental hospitals into condos. Someone still owns the building itself. You simply bought a small blocked off space within it. You could be considered trespassing or even destroying space that isnt yours.
Considering all the pipes and electricity clearly go through it it legally has to be accessible to the owners otherwise there'd be no way to fix or even do safety testing on anything which is illegal. Considering it is solely attached to her flat, doesn't lead to anyone else's it likely dies belong to her solely as it doesn't have access to any other flat.
Depending on the law, it's common property, so she can be there, unless explicitly restricted by the building management rules. Of course, she can't turn it for her private use like storage, workshop, fallout shelter, etc.
Will be interesting to see if all this does actually belong to your property, or if it has been condemned a long time ago and was not meant to be opened back up?
Yes you just go into settings and then you can figure out how to put in full screen I can't stand people taking little pictures you can't see anything.
I didn't see your building, but it's likely a row of flats and these are the basements ( ground floor) where the plumbing and boilers were kept along with coal and oil bunkers. Those pipes were likely sewer. It's essentially your building's foundations.
Where is your house located? As all that came to mind is that your place looks like it was part of the 'Underground Railroad'. This area looks like a 'Station', 'Safehouse' or 'Depot'.
I'm sorry, but I assume you are British by the accent and the word " flat". Britain is a very old country and many times new buildings were built on the foundations of old buildings. Or a factory is turned into housing. These are not tunnels. They are part of an earlier structure. No one is going to dig a tunnel and take the time to put in the brick ceilings and make all those little doorways into other rooms. I believe flat is only used for a rented place so it is not your basement anyways. If it is yours, clean it out and use it. Also, assuming those pipes are still in use, plumbers will need access to this area.
@@moro8274- yes, I know. British flat translates to a US home. What I wasn't sure of was if it only referred to a rented apartment or did it also refer to a house that you own.
@@MrYfrank14 honestly im not too sure but google says "In British English, a flat is a set of rooms for living in, usually on one floor of a large building."
@moro8274 - I always thought it referred to an inexpensive, small apartment . Like what you get when young and know you made it in life when you can afford to move to a place with a bathroom that was bigger than your whole fitst apartment. Only poor people live in flats.
Why ‘barbarian’? Why will you not be able to sleep? All very dramatic, just clean the rubbish out and leave the space. It is there for a reason and as long as it is dry you don’t have a problem.
I have arrived (from Facebook) - feels a bit like how I felt when you discovered another door... 😆 Tidied up and renovated you could probably get a contract with the home office to house about 500 refugees... 😉
You really need to learn to talk more and explain things better, rather than just whispers to other people in the room. As far as all that extra real estate goes you can block it all off again if you want. just because you found doesn't mean you are required to use it.
😱 My goodness it's a mess, is she sure the realtors were unaware of these rooms and the condition of the entire structure...is it safe? I am concerned for you and the workers....
It would be solicitor and vendor here in England and should be in the deeds but... Depends on who chopped the property up into flats they may have blocked it off as too much work. Then sold as seen after.
You'd be surprised how some realtors know little about the place they're selling. I viewed an apartment for sale which had a hole knocked through the double brick wall of the storage room. It led to a utility cellar under the apartment block. The realtor didn't even know the hole was there... after all, the storage room was dark & I don't expect her to go exploring in high heels...

Those curved brick ceilings are called vaulted ceilings. They tend to be very strong, due to the curve they transfer load better than a flat roof.
