A bit tosh this....

Went to investigate some old tunnels in our local park i got told about recently.
I never knew they existed before, and i've lived in the area for 38years :D

The 2 tunnels run parallel to each other.

I think they could be water outlets for the old mill, that then ran into a lake where the park is located now.
Very stonky in places, and averaged about 3foot high, but went down to a mere 18inch in places,
except the entrance part - that went to about 10foot high.

The entrance part seperated the 2 tunnels, so there was 2 tunnels to the left, and 2 to the right
Plenty of spiders inside, and freshwater shrimpy things in the water. :thumb

i didn't get to the end due to time, but will find out where it comes from / leads to proper another day.
