If I would mention that one thing everybody would know about it and it would no longer be a secret.

They're quite impressive structures, any idea where the entrance is?

 

I've lived in Sheffield all my life and didn't even know those tunnels existed.

The statue of Vulcan atop the Town Hall is a cleverly crafted clockwork animatron which dances a little jig and whistles the 'Happy Birthday' tune every time it's the lord mayor/mayoress's birthday (whilst no ones looking).

 

It was presented to Sheffield by renowned watchmaker John Harrison in 1762, just after he'd finished the now famous H4 wristwatch (for the larger gentleman), as a means of saying thank you to the city for letting him off a horse-drawn carriage parking fine, which in its day normally bore the penalty of the hangman's noose!
