I visited this first in November last year .
Now a revisit has long been in order so that I could attempt to get better pictures from my first visit and so that Space Invader could get down to have a look….
Visited again with Fortknox0,Frosty,Obscurity and of course this time Space Invader..
A general run down on the place…
The main tower hamlets tunnel is about 550 odd foot long and about every hundred yards or so are spurs for toilets.
Just over half way down is a wall with a convenient gap knocked through leading on towards beaufoy’s caves which has been back filled with builders rubbish and lots of sharp nasty bits to navigate.At the end of the Arp tunnel there is a toilet block and blocked exits and from there is the area used for storage/workshop by the plumbers,entry into which is now sealed unlike my first visit..
There are Blast walls running along the length of the tunnel and just past a slabbed over sealed street entrance you turn left into lagoon caves where there is a toilet block at the far end of the caves with toilets still semi intact and there are signs of where the kitchen area once was….
History never was my strong point so I have cobbled together some of the info from the local history forum which is a well written and full account..Right on with some pics from my revisit
That concludes that little trip!!
A few from a more recent trip taken using my fisheye
