What I mean is that we all have our interests in life, what I like, the next person on the street won't.
You are sure to bet that there are people all over liverpool who know about underground places that most people don't and have never brought it up because they've never thought there would be an interest - 'who would be interested in a smelly old tunnel'?
I remember take some people around on a tour of the Williamson's Tunnels a couple of years ago and there was one old spritely lass who had more energy than me despite being about 80. She turned around and said - like she was discussing the soaps - 'Oh the whole of Liverpool is full of tunnels, my mother used to get from one side of London Road right up to by the Adelphi by a trap door in someone's basement - it cut out a long walk when it was raining'!! And you stand there thinking that you've just heard the meaning of life!
kind of like know what you mean as being a builder I will open up an old wall and in it will be an old bottle of beer / lemonade , or newsparer left by the builders from the day it was built, i will read it thru and thru incl the adverts etc.. to other people it is just an old paper but to me it is a time capsule of the day the place was built ,i found the pics of the old level of lewis untouched in a previous thread quite interesting too,
