Hi All,
As loads of us are interested in all things underground - myself included - I have purchased 'www.undergroundliverpool.co.uk' so when I actually get a spare moment from the million and one other things I'm doing, I'll set up a website.
I've also ordered some business cards so that when I get some information about something underground, I (and we) can look a tad professional and give the impression we're actually utterly health and safety compliment rather than the bunch of on-line scallies that we are :Colorz_Grey_PDT_16:
When I've got something up and running, I'll pop some letters off in the post of places that we've heard of and want to see and we can go from there!
Great idea matey! :)Quote:

First two pages are up and running!
The splendid view when you look down the Byrom street, Waterloo tunnel cutting. If you listen carefully (in between buses going past) you can hear water dripping.
I can testify that it's very moist down there!!
looking gooooood!Quote:

Site looks great, Jona! Keep us posted on when it goes live. In Ripperologist we have reported on Williamson and the tunnels before, so I will be pleased to give you a plug in our "I Beg to Report" section.Quote:

(Not in Williamson's Tunnels.... in the Catacombs of Paris!)
Cheers for the heads up guys! :PDT11
Hoping to secure a page for the church on Overbury Street when I get a reply and I've also been given a pointer in the right direction for a set of tunnels underneath Scotland Road - St Anthony of Egypt. Anyone know of this church and can point me in the right direction or have heard of owt??
oooooooooohhh excited!
Had permission from Nick Catford at Sub Brit to feature the Crown Street and Wapping Tunnels on the website so that's another page linked up!
There is a crypt and catacombs under St. Anthony's, Scotland road but they're open to the public and i've been down them but they're not very extensive and I think only are within the footprint of the church/churchyard.Quote:

lovin' the front page! hehe
What's with the front page? What has that got to do with 'urban exploration'?
Is a secret code so that people with a fetish for woman playing in the dirt can find them here!!!!
:020:
So it's Underground Liverpool FHM then. :eek:
Using pics of ladies to attract attention :badgrin:
Although it really makes me think of the 'put the lotion in the bucket' scenes from The Silence of the Lambs.:D
:020:
Where has the last post from Jona76 gone?
The one about the pic of the close friend of his (girl from Newcastle) on the front page of his underground site?
Are the gremlims in the forums? :eek:
Is it like The Matrix, and the computers are taking over :crybaby:
Yeah there are more Metal Slug animations in the smilies. :PDT_07:
:020:
I havn't got a clue what this conversation is about :noid:
LindyLou. Click on the underground website link on message No3 from Jona and all will become clear.
Tunnel-wise, nothing in the World beats this.

Just one of the amazing pics and information to be found on Fogonazos Blog, including photos of the largest drainhole in the world (it's in California!), pictures of Hiroshima after the atomic bomb (not for the squeamish), and pics of shipwrecks worldwide, etc.

thanks Ged, I just saw the web-site in question. :)Quote:

I could have just stuck a boring tunnel picture up but I thought I'd spice it up a tad....the one of me stripped down to my shorts and boots while digging out the triple decker tunnel in the Williamson's Tunnels wasn't really best for the front page :eek: :)Quote:

wow i havent relly posted much but cant wait to see you full site.
top job well done
Got the shock of me life today. Sitting in work and looking out on to the railway track that is just past Wavertree Tech Park funnily enough in the Tech park! I sit just by where it branches off to the tunnel to up to Edge Lane.
Anyway, there were a load of bods on the track doing some repair work to a massive set of wooden blocks and they lifted em all up. What is below but a stonking great brick shaft that went for ...well I couldn't see from the angle I was at but it seemed massive!
I know Wavertree is quite high ground but I'm totally totally lost where it leads to!! I've attached a map of where it was - the cross shows the exact point.
If you look on http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ the 1851 map for that spot has the Picko Lane Bridge crossing the railway so it may be something to do with that.
this is a fright line that used to be a passanger till it closed to passangers in 1948 but this is the cut of that leads to the docks its the Canada Dock Branch line and the reason you seen men on it working is because this line is to be reopoened to passangers by merseyrail by 2011

How do you KNOW they are working on it because it is being re-opened to passengers in 2011? That's rubbish! There's 10 times more chance it's just routine Permanent Way maintenance...
I have now added a new page to my Underground Liverpool - a very brief description of the blocked up Tunnel and the Ice House under the Town Hall.
These were taken by an elderly gent some time ago so if I am able to get down there, I will try and get some more pictures and a better description!
So have I,the area they cover is around the same as the church-but they're very spooky all the same.Quote:

Dave.
i know the line is reopening as i have regular contact with someone from merseyrail and have seen the merseyrail plans for 2011
Aye, I just can't see why there would be a tunnel system below and where it would lead to. I'm really going to have a good nose around there as they've been doing bits and bobs to that line for the 12 years I've been there now.Quote:
