Mysterious Tunnel, Pembroke Dock-Jan '12

[-Walsh-]

Not much info on this on the web, there is another tunnel in the area but has been covered up. From the Date on the bricks at the entrance its from around 1811. There is an underground reservoir in the town so Im thinking this could have something to do with it.

All in all a rather interesting explore considering its practically right in the centre of town!

Fantastic tunnel, great to see! Looks like someone has sneezed down there!!!

Looks like a dried up culvert or some maybe you found an abandoned drain double the goodness. Also looks like its below a custard factory and its all leaked and seeping through the drain roof.... Mmmm you lick it?
