Title: London Underground ?Mail Rail? Discovered. Post by: MR.BROWNSTONE on April 24, 2011, 03:41:47 PM Sealed off for nearly a decade, London's secret 'Mail Rail' passages have been revealed. Thrilled urban explorers have documented their discovery of the tunnels, first opened in the 1920s after extensive and complicated construction. Closed down due to lack of use and high costs, the elaborate underground system became an urban legend for adventurers.

I worked on Cheapside in London for a few years many moons ago. England is great for tunnels. Not just coastal smuggling tunnels, but also old WW1 and WW2 tunnels used for shelter. |
