The white brick room at 28:58 was an old operating theatre and the ramped entrance leads to an old hospital so they could wheel bed and wheel chairs down during air raids. At 30:01 you can see my name on the wall. The entrance you used to get in has now been sealed up.
I forgot to mention. Not sure weather you see this; At 25:01 above the pile of mud there is a un-lined shaft belived to be an old well dug before the tunnels were built. The mud must be from the shaft as there was also the same mud in the shaft. I also know where the the manhole cover is leading to the ladder down the narrow shaft to the sewer. You may already know the location, if not i can tell you ?
3 of my brothers are plumbers. My cousin owns a plumbing business. I have never seen anyone so excited about going into the sewers in my entire life. 17:55
Now I've watched everyone else's vids of this place including the guys who are with you, I came back and watched this again. So much more interesting with all that extra context.
The calkfull you climed over at 12:56 leads to liverpool lawn. This entrance was filled in shortly after building the tunnels because it created too much airflow. I belive the chalkfulls in this spur tunnel was caused by demolition and building work above.
It amazes me that such amazing tunnels were built in such a short time, love anything to do with WW2, I live near Island Farm, Bridgend, there is a famous story about 84 german POWs escaping, the Natzi equivalent to the great escape, most of it has been demolished and it is now a housing estate but the locals fought to keep a small bit of it and won thankfully. I work in the building which was the main HQ of the huge ROF, it is now police HQ, it has been modernised in recent years but there are still a lot of the old buildings left on the site but my childhood playground was the little known Pencoed Hostels, aka, army stores, which is now a housing estate. Not forgetting the 8x's, Brackla, huge concrete storage tunnels, there are a few left, privately owned and very secure, Dr Who was filmed in one of them, most have been demolished and guess what, houses have been built over them, gutting, sorry about the war and peace rant, lol
It's the same in New Zealand (where I Live) and the Pacific islands.. the tunnels and underground bunkers were build to a high standard in record time. With all equipment nd materials shipped around the world from England on expidited shipping. Everything was exactly the same as the built in England. Btw I know a few people from Brigeend!
Had to wait till I got off work to see this one today ...... Glad I did . I got tired just watching you guys trample through the mud . Great job , keep up the awesome exploring !!
When you said they had to drop the bombs or they would get in trouble for not dropping their load I think it's more of a case of the return flight home for fuel and landing with bombs on board would be a possible danger?
That tube going on in the other direction may be storm sewer, maybe old CSO overflow to a river Because the tunnels were built so fast and because it was a matter of National Security most of the time there were no plans drawn up and kept so it's hard to find a lot of these places but as for the sewers those are public record and especially with those being new construction you should be able to go to the county or city offices and get copies or at least look at the maps to see where the sewer lines go
Really interesting !! Looking at the old maps of this tunnel system it looks like that sewage chamber is blocking access the the rest of the tunnels ? I guess that pipe you crawled through is an overflow maybe. Off to find the other vid now :-)
Awesome, good to see this place from your perspective, we only had 2 hours down here so we couldn't explore the long tunnel which wentto the right in the thumbnail 👍
I can't imagine what it would have been like to have to worry about bombs being dropped on you and having to run down into tunnels. Truly frightening times.
l33ta2 Yup your bang on! Especially sewer pipes! Just disturbing 'mud' can release enough to kill you . Some sort of oxygen monitor in tunnels and a toxic gas meter in/or around sewers.I assume a 4 gas meter (no clue) is enough for both?! I noticed an echo change and serious heavy breathing a couple of times in the tunnels of this video. They may or may not be due to low oxygen near some of the dead ends/collapses or even just my imagination. Either way running down a sewer pipe is just plain nuts! A small pocket of toxic gas can kill instantly. Not just H2S, people flush all kinds of chemicals, etc (that they should or SHOULDN'T) down toilets and drains. Good explore though none the less!! 👍🏻
Ah, just bring a red shirt. You know, an "expendable," crew member. Someone you can send in first, like miners would a 🐦 bird, to test the air quality back in the day. You'll be fine. 👍
Happy Friday to me! Sub Ex posted a video!! Great explore on this one! Might rank in the top 3 videos of all of yours I've seen. Keep up the bad ass work! I would pay to tag along with you guys on something like this!
25:08 That mud is probably overflow from the sewer beneath you - which ironically is the overflow for the main system during rainy weather. But I bet what has happened is the overflow sewer you were walking on top of in the WW2 tunnels was just put in with out any watertight seals between the joins, or possibly when they were putting the fill over top of the pipe sections to lock them into position, the digger nudged them out of position near this point. In either case, this location has a leak in the overflow sewer so when ever the overflow is operating near capacity it spills out into this section of tunnel, which then drains back into the sewer once the flow has reduced. But of course the solids settle on the WW2 tunnel floor which is what you are walking on. Enjoy.
I'd get sooooo panicky and claustrophobic I'd get nauseous, struggle to breathe or even puke. My heart would be in my mouth. It was already in my mouth even watching this stunning but petrifying video. You must've went down there so that general folk wouldn't have to. I'm smitten and beyond impressed.
great vid, love tunnels :0) we went to the ones at Ramsgate and have been in the tunnels at vimy ridge and arras on the western front :0) watch out for the poo particles as they can be very bad for your lungs. subbed and liked too :0)
As always good work. Thanks for taking us along. I am happy that you did not show the little brown gators like that one time. Have you thought about getting an oxygen and gas meter?
@@SubExploration Retired mine gear might be something to look into. I think I would try to contact AvE and see if he has some ideas about where to get your hands on some good used gear for a reasonable price. We don't want to see you have to deal with an oxygen starved badger. Not good for you or badger. Stay safe and Thank You for not going down into the real river of poo aka Brown Gators. Sometimes they try to fool you by changing colors. Have you had to burn much in the shoe and clothing budget this year?
Great Video - Thanks for sharing. A couple of questions - Did you alert anyone that you would be down there ? I'd hate it if you got trapped and couldn't get out or pinpoint for people to find. Second question. Did you consider a "cave in" ? - Also yes amount a gas mask - 1 observation - I didn't observe rats or cockroaches other REALLY GREAT FILM Thanks Bridget (New Zealand)
Damn that was so cool entering that huge silo with the shit river!!! The huge round room had a couple balcony’s up there which has me wondering!!? Very very cool how the tunnels go to different areas and different uses
The date on one of the graffiti says August 1945, VE day was May 1945. So I imagine the explanation your mate gave was correct about most being 1945 because they were recording for posterity, maybe before the shelter was closed down. The last conventional bombings on London were January 1944. The last ever bombings were two V2's in March 1945, but of course, you didn't know they were coming, so they probably wouldn't of been in the shelter.
We don’t encounter much chalk this side of the Atlantic. I remember touching some in geology class and it was pretty soft and brittle. When you touch the walls down there, is it like that? What would you compare it to? Harder than say, a bar of soap or a charcoal briquette? Also, the floor in most tunnels seems to differ in color from the chalk walls (not just in the poo section). Why would they haul down a different material for the floor? Seems like a lot of trouble, when they’d have plenty of chalk spoils for the floor. Anyway, thanks for the tour. Was fun.
I would say that it is more dense than a bar of soap but not quite as strong as a charcoal briquette. If you were to grab a chunk you could easily pull it from the wall. As for the floor, they often put another material down such as concrete as having a chalk floor would wear away and create trip hazards. The tunnels had hundreds of metal bunk-bed frames which would have made a real mess of a chalk floor.
Thanks for the reply. It’s really striking to look at. It also really makes what you do so much easier to see down there. Keep it coming; love the explorations!
Dont forget that a lot of the grafiti is quite new , and not from that time period.The staicase that you came to was led to the main street and a link into the cinema.
Be careful of bad air and gases in places like this. Don't bother getting a gas meter, next time just take a cannery in a cage, if it drops dead then you know your next. 😏
I felt really claustrophobic even watching this video. Thank the Lord they ain't open to the public. I'm sooooooo amazed. You're all so brave. I'm absolutely stunned as to how you can even have such nerves of steel to explore such a putrid and lurid set of never-never-never-ending tunnels...
@7:45 "August 6th, 1945" I wonder how long the poor guy stayed there. The rest of England were so busy celebrating and drinking, they forgot about poor old Morton down in the tunnel. Maybe he is still there, like Smeagol. All pale, bald, and hunched over. His clothes have probably rotted off. Most likely he is completely insane by now and lives off cannibalizing people who go exploring the tunnels. If anyone gets separated from the group they may be eaten by Morton. Your flashlights are probably the best defense. Shine them in his eyes, it will blind him after 70+ years living in the dark. Don't let your flashlights battery die.
8/6/1945 is the day Hiroshima was bombed. Japan quit the war about a week later. “It is a good thing that war is so terrible, lest we should grow too fond of it.” Lees words from past a hundred and fifty years ago still ring true. I can’t imagine trying to sleep or live in these tunnels.
Good guys over at forbidden, we often speak with each other. But technically, this one was always "open" via the poo tube ;-) You should see the size of the new block, the local council really went to town.
When you see the paper waste on the hand rails in the large sewer chamber (think about that when you're touching the rails), you can think about how much flow they would have through there. I'd love to go exploring but you get to an age when all the dangers start to add up (e.g. gasses, and running into other people).
I'd be afraid after all the twists and turns you've made, you'd get tired and lost in that maze! You could spends days down there looking for a way out!
Hi, wow those tunnels were pretty expansive and some parts were still in quite good condition. When you saw that raised area above the pooh tunnel well in the pic there was a piece of rag/tissue, I'm wondering if that area may flood because how else would that nasty piece of material get there ?. I hope you lads washed your hands after lmao ewww. A brilliant video as always, thanks for your hard work. x
Hard to believe the drug users, thieves or poor have not stripped the copper wire from those tunnels from what I saw in this video looks like over $ 10,000 worth.
Very claustrophobic tunnels with a stream of lovely crusted over shit as a reward part way through. Imagine part of that low roof coming down during an air raid ! Scary times.
In Russia tunnels guarded by Federal Security Service. I belive, human wastes stored in depth reservoirs for fermentation and transform to black oil...
@@cooperwilliams4686 congratulations. But I was referring to Mary forde possibly.the builders wife.but you would know that because you follow these types of videos.
Deek the charva with the can of Stella (red top) 😂 got a black eye too 😂 😂

I suspect the reason why so many of those bits of graffiti were written and dated in 1945 was because they were written at a time when they knew it would be the last time they were going down them and so, wanted to leave a momento and knew the authorities weren't likely to fine or arrest them for vandalism knowing they weren't going to be used again. Smooth concrete is much easier to write on with a pencil than rough chalk! You have to wonder why they bothered to cover over that sewer pipe, seeing as, technically, it's going to be left undisturbed. I guess it offered some protection from potential rock fall. You'd never get me to go into the, 'poo tube', section you went into. Interesting to see, though. That vertical bit massive and shows just how deep you are underground. Have to be careful going down dry sewer pipes, especially with the danger of methane gas. You should have a meter of some kind, just in case. I've a sneaking suspicion that it's mud you're wading through down that tunnel.
@@SubExploration yes. The weight and pressure of water in a big pipe like that is considerable. It would move and/or burst its sides without being surrounded by support. Would be, er, messy...
Great explore as always my friend just got done with thus and iks.es new vid love fridays keep it up my friend glad u went to check out the poo tube lol cant wait 4 the vid u did with them
IKS's was a good one this week. I was wondering if they were ever going to climb the shaft. I once climbed that shaft in full motorcycle gear 🤣 instagram.com/p/BhHvfycHrTT/?
It's a bloody shame that people go into these historic beautiful places and destroy its beauty..it's disgusting actually.....enjoyed your History lesson....
REALLY interesting video, what's got me puzzled, is how do you find your way out, you take so many twists and turns, and how do you locate these tunnels in the 1st place
We find them in the first place with plenty of research and planning. As for finding our way out, most of these places have a fairly simple layout despite their size. Mines on the other hand are easy to get lost in.
it's weird to think that every single thing down there had a purpose, wonder if there is anyone left who knows everything about it or has it become an archaeological site where it can only be speculated about?
The white brick room at 28:58 was an old operating theatre and the ramped entrance leads to an old hospital so they could wheel bed and wheel chairs down during air raids. At 30:01 you can see my name on the wall. The entrance you used to get in has now been sealed up.

At the twenty minute mark, I started laughing. When ye started screaming " Burn ye boots! " I was in tears!!! Brilliant! :D
The "concrete room" is a cistern - probably fed by a spring.
Had to wait till I got off work to see this one today ......
Glad I did . I got tired just watching you guys trample through the mud .
Great job , keep up the awesome exploring !!
There's something really creepy about a baby stroller being in a mine
I wonder if they used 2 phase wiring.
That might have been 2 phase and a neutral wire
When you said they had to drop the bombs or they would get in trouble for not dropping their load I think it's more of a case of the return flight home for fuel and landing with bombs on board would be a possible danger?
Steven Hills I was going to say that they’d want to shed any excess weight as they’d be running low on fuel by that time
That tube going on in the other direction may be storm sewer, maybe old CSO overflow to a river

I seen that video as well. They thought it might have been the wife of the builder Mary forde. Maybe the same time Mary.
I know someone called mary... That's 3 Mary's we know of.
@@cooperwilliams4686 congratulations. But I was referring to Mary forde possibly.the builders wife.but you would know that because you follow these types of videos.
Deek the charva with the can of Stella (red top) 😂 got a black eye too 😂 😂
I suspect the reason why so many of those bits of graffiti were written and dated in 1945 was because they were written at a time when they knew it would be the last time they were going down them and so, wanted to leave a momento and knew the authorities weren't likely to fine or arrest them for vandalism knowing they weren't going to be used again. Smooth concrete is much easier to write on with a pencil than rough chalk!
You have to wonder why they bothered to cover over that sewer pipe, seeing as, technically, it's going to be left undisturbed. I guess it offered some protection from potential rock fall.
You'd never get me to go into the, 'poo tube', section you went into. Interesting to see, though. That vertical bit massive and shows just how deep you are underground. Have to be careful going down dry sewer pipes, especially with the danger of methane gas. You should have a meter of some kind, just in case. I've a sneaking suspicion that it's mud you're wading through down that tunnel.
Yes we suspected as much when it came to the graffiti. As for the pipe, who knows. Perhaps to secure it in place.
@@SubExploration yes. The weight and pressure of water in a big pipe like that is considerable. It would move and/or burst its sides without being surrounded by support. Would be, er, messy...
This was a rad episode
Nothing better than a fast flowing river of poo ... Get your mask, snorkel and flippers . Dive in !!!!
Peace 🇬🇧😄
Perhaps you should go first to show us how its done 😂👍
@@SubExploration still great shows guys .... always enjoy your vids. WICKED
Peace 🇬🇧😄
mud = old poo overflowed
Great explore as always my friend just got done with thus and iks.es new vid love fridays keep it up my friend glad u went to check out the poo tube lol cant wait 4 the vid u did with them
IKS's was a good one this week. I was wondering if they were ever going to climb the shaft. I once climbed that shaft in full motorcycle gear 🤣 instagram.com/p/BhHvfycHrTT/?
Surely that’s not mud, it’s sewage ¿
That is where the shit goes ...
It's a bloody shame that people go into these historic beautiful places and destroy its beauty..it's disgusting actually.....enjoyed your History lesson....
Yes it's a real shame but unfortunately it's very difficult to stop people.
Thank you for looking back for me xxx
REALLY interesting video, what's got me puzzled, is how do you find your way out, you take so many twists and turns, and how do you locate these tunnels in the 1st place
We find them in the first place with plenty of research and planning. As for finding our way out, most of these places have a fairly simple layout despite their size. Mines on the other hand are easy to get lost in.
it's weird to think that every single thing down there had a purpose, wonder if there is anyone left who knows everything about it or has it become an archaeological site where it can only be speculated about?
i came for the shelter but i stayed for the poo river
Most people do ;-)
That wasn't mud you were walking through! Cool vid. I have never seen somebody so excited to find an active sewer.
😂
i'm wondering if that's better or worse than finding a river of slime
You went to the poo river? Are you mad? Well you are British. So....yup. :P
Yall gonna contract the Black Plaque down there...
I farted in my robe while watching this to try and mimic the stench! 😂
did it work? 😂
@@SubExploration Hell yeah it did 😂
