And the present offices would then get mysteriously burnt down - that I suppose could be classed as a redevelopment.

Envious....I would love to do some exploration to further this subject but I think any attempts to do so should be on the QT and with purpose to find more answers to the unknown parts of the complex.

Somebody somewhere must have taken a photo or two of the tunnels in use!

As a kid my friends used to always go inside the tunnels but i was always to afraid (scardy Kat!) and would wait outside. I was so fasinated with the storys and descriptions they used to give me and have always wondered what they look like inside.

I have found this thread so interesting and the pictures are wicked! happy Thanks guys laugh
