kookie   10 #2 Posted June 5, 2004 could have been the hole in the road. We could've all sat against the wall behind a pillow and bit of wood, such as a door or bit of bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Andy78 Â Â 10 #6 Posted June 5, 2004 This was discussed in a thread about tunnels under sheffield once I think.

Andy78 Â Â 10 #8 Posted June 5, 2004 Just been reading about the binkers in manchester. quite interesting reading and it seems that the underground world still exists. Shame people aren't allowed in them. Â http://www.cybertrn.demon.co.uk/guardian/index.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cols   10 #9 Posted June 5, 2004 Andy Interesting link. Thanks for that. I used to work for BT in Manchester but never got to go down the tunnels although colleagues of mine did. If I'm not mistaken, the big fire that knocked out all the phones in Manchester last month was in the Guardian exchange tunnels. If you're into this kind of thing there is a nuclear bunker open to the public in Nantwich, Cheshire and Stockport has a system of tunnels that are also open to the public. These weren't nuclear bunkers but are much older and were used in WW2 as air raid shelters. Well worth a visit. http://www.funforall.co.uk/museums_north_west_england.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
