Visited by Kitty & Woodburner
Respect to kitty for digging up the info on these tunnels, they appear to have been used as air-raid shelter tunnels for the university students and staff in Sheffield.
Kitty was suffering from epic camera fail on this trip so the only shots are what I got on my compact.
Entrance was a bit 'on top' but we picked a quiet moment and popped the lid, conveniently the first one we popped had a staircase for us...
Inside there was a nice network of tunnels that went on for maybe 50m or so following twists & turns underground before leading to another staircase at the other end...
There were also a pair of air vents we had previously seen from the surface letting light in conveniently (and traffic noise)
Towards the end of the bunker was a set of shelves that looked ancient... Kitty commented she used them as 'man storage'
One of the 'main' tunnels with the air vent at the end.
All in all worth a mooch and I believe kitty has naming rights should she wish to do so.
The name was inspired by our post-photography munchies, kitty's underground bakery products have to be tasted to be believed!
Thanks for looking.
