Marple Tunnels - Nov 2012

[PaulPowers]

I was heading over to stockport to mooch about the cooling tunnels and dropped in on Marple after

The first section of pics are from the Mellor Mill water tunnels

You can pop down anytime to help with the dig to uncover the mill

The second section are a different location that I'm not actually sure about.
It's a large tunnel with small alcoves and a side tunnel, you can see the top of a door but there's been a collapse which blocks it, further on there are two side rooms but the main tunnel has collapsed here

Water Tunnel

collapsed wall

end of the line

This is the section of tunnels I have no idea about

I got rid of the sparkler after ​

I remember a friend of mine explored them about 20 years ago, with the help of someone who lived near to them & had a bit of knowledge of the layout.

I've got a bit of a new-found understanding and appreciation of tunnels now

cheers underground is the best place to explore, no security, no pikeys and you can just take your time

Ooh, missed this. Fascinating place, and beautiful images as always. Wall construction is amazing, you'd be proud if that was your garden wall!

Ironically underground places are the only places I've ever been caught by security...
