Fascinating stuff Phill, well done mate. I believe there are some fantastic tunnels in Liverpool (Williamson's tunnels) but I think they have been extensively explored and covered by others.

The Williamson tunnels are well known about now. There still finding more. It's open as a tourist attraction now. Or some of it is. The story behind them is fascinating.

Great work as ever, Phill. If the wooden steps were the only entrance when the arches were used for an air-raid shelter, what would happen to the people in there if the steps were destroyed by a bomb? Was this your thinking when looking for a different entry point?

Hi Si. There were 17 arches, not all had stairs down there. All the arches are bricked up and no steps have been there since 1971. There were also 2 stairwells on Victoria street leading down to the toilets and arches. They've long since been filled in and paved over. The toilets closed in 1967. If you look at my post again you can see an arial shot were the stairwell used to be. The road runs over the top were they were these days. There are pictures of both stairwells blocked off taken inside the arches on my story. If you can figure out how we got in there Simon you are one amazing man.. I'm still laughing my head off how we did it. It's so ingenious lol
