Today we visit a place that few know of and fewer have been able to visit. Originally this was two separate sets of tunnels that where dug in the 1800's but during WW2, the military dug a very long tunnel to connect the two together. Used as both a command HQ and for public air raid precautions this set of tunnels has many remains from the war and plenty of period graffiti.

Trafficking tunnels.
I like the fact that you just speed up the video through the less interesting bits rather than just editing it out like most people this way we get to see everything. Keep up the good work.
It's impressive how this large complex of tunnels is being maintained. Somebody must be making regular inspections, looking for structural weaknesses, and then installing appropriate reinforcements.
I'm obsessed. I live in Fresno California. I discovered an entrance to what used to clearly be a much more complex tunnel system under the business at which i work. I did some research, and learned that the "Chinatown" section, and a few others had a complex tunnel worlds under our boring city. I have just committed to going down. Inspired by you. Cheers guys
live in the north bay area and used explore the world war bunkers in sf. wish i had the videos. cheers
Fresno is the city of my birth, my father's birth, and my grandmother on my mother's side, also born here. I've heard quite a bit of the tunnels under old Chinatown, they've found broken china, and opium pipes and other things down there, while preparing that area for high speed rail. It's very interesting. There was Armenian town, German town and Little Italy also. My grandmother and dad grew up in Germantown.
Excellent video, no loud music too give us headaches, no staged frights, just a great video with with plenty of info and some history. Well done guy's and a big thank you for sharing.
That's what we aim for 👍 we don't like staged videos or unnecessary drama. Just facts and interesting places 👌
I appreciate your work. Although security might view you as trespassers of a sort, you are doing a good piece of raw historical documentation and making it available to the public. We shouldn't forget the necessary lengths taken by the allies, particularly those very geographically close to the enemies who saw great physical attacks on their homes, to protect their lands and especially the people therein. Explorations like this demonstrate how resourceful the Brits were.
Every other subex channel ` *long weird intros, cave diving level flashlights, bypass dodgy areas
These lads *straight into it, down every tunnel and shaft like a damn ferret.
Love your work!
It's SO interesting to go exploring with you. You give such a detailed explanation of everything. You make me feel like I'm right there with you. Keep up the good work.
Anytime I'm in a cave or mine system, right hand rules always. This will prevent becoming disoriented. As always, another great explore with interesting historic references.
This is a part of History that People don't know Exists, so Great to to See it, Thanks So Much to You and Your Team......
Huge fan man!! I love how your videos stay the same awesome quality. I love how you talk about the history as well as the things that go on in the modern day as you're walking through the area's you're documenting. Seriously your channel should be a lot bigger than it is. You're straight professional about everything you do as well. Keep up the exploring!!
18:47 - When I was a kid in the 1970s Fairy washing up liquid bottles used to look like that.
In the late 70s Mr O'Connor, my primary school teacher, brought in an oil can just like that and a camping stove. He lit the stove, took the cap off of the can, and put it on top of the stove. He left it there for a few minutes, then took it off, put the cap back on the can, and we all watched with fascination as it collapsed in on itself.
Love the old beer cans earlier on in your video, from previous decades, before current cold extrusion manufacturing techniques, when they used to weld together opposite sides of a sheet of steel or aluminium to form a tube with a seam, before adding the top and the bottom. That was back in the days when the ring pulls were designed to completely detach.
Cracking explore glad you take us on these great adventures sound and photos on point once again
So nice to see such a fabulous tunnel complex not covered in graffiti ! Great video as always Simon.
I lovw that you give the history of it and don't leave the viewers in the dark! New subscriber and I'm in love with ur channel.
I find my tunnels under Detroit. No, not the
salt mine excavations that extend deep under
the city. I'm looking for buried lower levels of
vacated industry. My best find was a concrete
chamber with dusty World War Two relics.
Like identification papers regarding aircraft of
the Axis Powers. Probably to assist surface
civil defense locations that had searchlights
and air raid sirens. Usually what I find are the
drainage tunnels or manhole access to utilities.
Found under soil and collapse rubble. Assisted
by the Michigan Technological University and
their Society for Industrial Archaeology. Try
using Google Earth to locate a now sealed and
disused tunnel in Detroit extending into Canada.
Yup, big enough to drive your wheels through.
Jizz! Awesome, dude. I can't wait for a find like that
Another great explore, even love the retro litter, it's all history. I remember those old crisp packets when you could actually see how many crisps you were getting lol,
I really enjoy videos like this. Besides enjoying tunnels, they also inspire me to add tunnels to some of the game maps I occasionally create. For some reason, tunnels just hold something for me but I can't explain it. The different ways of support shown is interesting. The maze aspect of these tunnels is fascinating. Keep up the great work and exploration.
Love exploring with you guys...lead the way lads there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
It’s an amazing set of tunnels. Give thanks to the first guys that opened this up and made it possible for people to visit at all
That one was excellent! Thanks for sharing!
this is mind-blowing! Thank you!
Wow what a amazing tunnel complex😀Super awesome video like always bud thanks so much for sharing 😀
It's sometimes frustrating watching explorers who are not very thorough; these guys _are_ thorough - every nook and cranny.
feels like i'm there. very good.
I love to see underground Tunnel explorations something very interesting and exciting about finding signs of the past! Thank you for sharing 🙏
Loved this and could hear you brilliantly xx
One of the best tunnels I’ve seen. Lots of excellent bits and rooms supports etc
What an amazing tunnelling job. Great stuff. Many thanks, Paul in Lower Boddington
Just smashing love your videos. Keep up the great work cheers
22:00 I wonder why there would be security in that abandoned and empty place..
What's above it isn't abandoned and empty. There's a fortification open to the public after payment of an excessive amount. And then between that surface fortification and these tunnels there is another tunnel system also open to the public, after payment of an amount that would make Dick Turpin blush. And this is in the center of a major city.
@@johnrauner2515 Ah. That would explain things.
Perhaps a safety shelter for a worst case scenario might explain the main purpose of the whole?!
I hope they left a trail of bread crumbs ! Lol...
people and children can still be trafficked.
Interesting explore! A Peaceful, Prosperous 2020 to U & Yrs - Cheers!
Awesome Simon. Thank you.
Brilliant bit of tunnelling. I do know where you are, and I'm glad to see it. Love the huge pile of rusting 'Flimsies' (square fuel/oil cans used before the British in North Africa discovered the tough pressed steel cans the Afrika Korps were using, and adopted them for their own use, and known forever after as the 'Jerry Can'.), just rotting away. Fascinating stuff. Nice one.
28:05 - I thought they were huge spiders at first, but they're seismic motion detectors. The numbers on the walls are to do with the monitoring of the unstable area, breaking it up into small 'districts' that can easily be monitored for movement.
In my experience when empty metal containers are found
there's a reason why soldiers don't take out useless items.
Hiding a roll of French postcards would be my first guess.
@31:21 the random skeleton thing just hanging out lol! These tunnels are cool with all the face carvings!
Interesting cool thanks for showing us and taking us on a journey I can't believe the amount of damage there was alot more going on there just recently
This place is epic - I remember seeing it on forums years back, so much original graffiti. I remember Salt and Linekar, and was it Tears and Onion with Gazza crying on the TV ad? 😂
Thankyou for sharing your explore.
Here in the US we have quite a few abandoned mines and WWII coastal forts and bunkers. Lots of them on the Islands off Maine!
Hi Badger!!
Merry Christmas SE and Co!!
Brilliant as always
awesome !just watched the chinobal binge watching!
I really like this one :D
sound is much better as well
Brilliant video mate
@ 32:16, not a dead end. There's a tunnel on the right just behind the wall
Fascinating I'm surprised you found a set of tunnels that you haven't done already. I thought the round things might be to plug off toilet pipes.
WOW THOSE TUNNELLS ARE AMAZING, I LOVE THE WAY YOU BROUGHT US THROUGH THE WHOLE TUNNEL SYSTEM SO WE GOT TO SEE EVERYTHING, WISH I WAS THERE,I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO EXSPLORING SINCE I WAS A KID, BUT NEVER GOT INTO IT AS AN ADULT BECAUSE MY LIFE WENT DOWN A DIFFERENT PATH,
In awe at the size of this place.
33:12 Connection point for strain gauges to monitor movements in the rocks.
Perfect audio - love your vids. .
Did you ever think that those tunnels might be a much earlier act originally. They have just been re-enabled.
Great video, you guys. Keep up the good work. Take care and keep well. You guys are so brave. God bless you all....
it remains me on Dover.... still overnighted in such an fortress in the 80s! It ws on the left hill from Dover a fortress from Napoleon times!
Or Folkstone, but I remember an area like this down that way.
You guys are awesome. Xxx merry Christmas
Love the history behind it and wish I could see it for myself
Love your work bud
Amazing 😉
Great explore :-)
What a fantastic place, great explore guys really enjoyed video 🇬🇧🇬🇧🛸🛸👍
sub is back proper , and I couldn't be happier!
Pretty professional content for a channel with only 35k subs. Nice 👌
Thank you.
This whole place creeps me out, it looks as if it is all covered in asbestos!
Amazing exploring🎆
Great video can happily say I did this one!!! Amazing place
Thanks for the view. Pretty amazing. I'm from S.C.
Great Video I really enjoy your presentation
Such a cool place to see thanks for taking us along with 😊 keep it up and stay safe 🙏 brother somewhat lol 😂
This is crazy. Love it
thanks for bringing us along'
Thanks fore sharing great adventure! Love from Sweden ✨💖
Thank you guys🙏🤗
Great explore for sure, very nice to see. I must have missed it but what is the "no no" spot? Thanks for sharing.
21:40 he is afraid there are security personnel on the other side of the door. Would have been funny if door opened and Benny hill chase music started.
Interesting, good job folk
That's a nice set of tunnels!
The sound quality has improved. We can hear your bones clicking as you walk now.
🤣
Thats the change in his pocket
AMAZING 🤩❣
They have gone to a lot of trouble to sure up the ceilings ect don't you think what was down there that needed round the clock protection 🙂😂
Great video boys 🙂
Great picture to end on.
Around 22.51 min there is an amber light fixture
Amazing sound quality for a music video
Glad you guys are doing it, Id get confused too quickly. Wouldn't know what direction Id be going in.
Took me 4 years of working underground to finally get a good grasp on directions, didn't help I've worked in over 20 different mines so always different layouts.
Really cool my compliments sir
Thank you.
WAW. there is. A lot of smoke damage. As stated
There is some absolutely beautiful brickwork down there. I still think I would prefer to stay above ground though.
According to creation stories the earth was flooded that could have been above ground long time ago Universities won't acknowledge any of that though.
09:32 - Old electrical heating element. 3 or 4 bar looking at it.
This gives me claustrophobia !
The round wood pieces may be rolled bearings for sliding doors
What was the purpose of this place? 😬
I thought they may be old style patresses for light switches and maybe sockets.
So impressed with the work to make so many tunnels and the height is so cool.
Yes the excavation is just amazong.
Cool vid
Wow thanks very awesome
When and why was this labyrinth tunnel system build ??
It is surprisingly clean.
What is the air quality like down there ??
When going down into a place like this, why not bring a couple of large garbage bags along, in case there is any junk like coke cans, etc. Trash removal while walking along. In my opinion. Just the kind of thing I would do.
Hi great video 😀👍 I have just subscribed 😀
Welcome
@@SubExploration thanks 😀
Really enjoyed this video.Good quality sound.To see the things still there too.....part of life underground.
Very nice tunnels and they cleaned it out and dumped the interesting stuff on a pile in a few rooms pft.
Where's the bathroom ?
25.14 is a a near perfect Royal Army Medical Corps cap badge. I was trying to date it but not enough detail picked up great vids never stop exploring thats when you have to grow up.
Very cool chunk of history. Stick to the right or left hand rule while underground and ya won't get lost. Yall be safe out there
Very pro great job. 👍
These remind me of the tunnels beneath Chicago,Il
Well, that explains why there were so many bicycles down there. :-)
By the way you are doing is very very interesting thank you good job 👍
