Right not going into the history of the place as its been quite nicely reported on other sites ..this is an arp that has a tunnel joining the 2 aforementioned caves,entrance is Amusing as ever,hats off to the guys who more recently went down
! It cant be said that its laid undiscovered as some parts are obviously still in use,just not visited by any urbex!
It was visited with knox obs and frosty ..battered and bruised in places but a good night out anyways!

Right as it goes was a good explore way too much clambering around involved and not unlike other arp's but worth the cold night out,thanks for looking

Well done for finaly getting in.
The section with all the plumbers stuff in has only just been un-blocked. It was sealed in 1974 when the original council lease expired. All those loos etc were bricked in (there are pics on the internet of the bricked-up entrances). the first two times we visited it was still blocked. The last time we went in, it had been unblocked!

nice one dude, happy we finally went and had a look. Its been one on my list for a couple of years now but never had everything needed to explore it. Although rather cold, its was a good night and the strange noise comming from the shadows was quality lol. Some nice pictures mate :)

NIce one, more good underground stuff from there. Feel free to include a sentence or two of info about it - not everyone goes onto other websites, and it is nice to know what we are looking at. Good report :thumb

well box there isnt an awful lot to say about every hundred yards there are spurs used for toilets think the main tower hamlets tunnel was about 550 oddfeet long..on a historical page abuot ww2 deaths it is reported that atleast one or more likely 2 deaths occured within the tunnels there are several blocked off entrances which would have lead up to street level and some parts of said tunnel seems to be used for storage!!
