Lead or Rumour info - Unexplored tunnel and bits of White Rock Baths Hastings

[musicman]

Hi all,

I know that some from here have already explored the white rock baths in Hastings, but I think I have found some hidden bits they may have missed.

VICTORIAN TURKISH BATHS: England: Hastings: White Rock Baths : chimney and tunnel******************* |

I would have a look myself, but a dodgy leg prevents me climbing things

I found this article recently that sounds like the tunnels you are describing.

The white rock baths has been converted now, so I wonder if access is still possible and where.

the crime museum is in different caves...they were at the back of Harpers the guitar bar which was owned by a friend of mine and i worked there for years. The chimney tunnel I researched a few years back & apparently it was backfilled when they redesigned the old baths from an ice rink closed for many years into a skatepark. If you go up the hill around the back of the dripping well pub and look over the fence you can see the remains of the chimney still to this day...there is a small pedestrian gate up there along a metal fence...look over there and you will see the stump left. I am in a facebook group Hastings underground and have tried to find info about all the smuggling caves there must have been around this area too...but they seem to be an old town secret if there are any left open.
