    Hello everyone. I cannot thank Lynn and Mike enough for the courtesy and hospitality they showed us. Mike made this video special. Instead of me waffling on he generously took part in the video and offered his specialist knowledge.

      Martin you need to get down to the Leeds dark arches (now called granary wharf) under Leeds city station. Get permission off the owners of the site as there is a labyrinth of corridors, passages, offices and disbanded lock gates down there and it's right up there with anything else you've ever reported and filmed on. Brilliant work Martin and I'll look forward to a future edition of the stupendous Leeds dark arches👍😀

      Martin Zero I'm at a loss why Leeds city council/network rail hasn't turned this whole site into a money spinning tourist attraction. Our local paper the Yorkshire Evening Post did an article a few years ago when they gained access to write a gushing report of what lies hidden from public view. You may need to go through that channel to find out who you need to contact. There is plenty of access right up to the car park at the end of this site to wet your appetite for Leeds very own "8th wonder of the world". Keep up the fantastic well researched and interesting work you do which is right up my street. Absolutely riveting and I'm your biggest fan this side of the Pennines.👍😀😉

      Martin Zero So, there are tunnels that run away from the Station which we cannot access. This one heads towards the west. In the nineteenth century, the arches were used as storerooms. One of these areas was used by Watson and Sons, soap manufacturers. In the early hours of the morning on 13th January 1892, a fire broke out in Watson's warehouse, igniting around 1,700 tons of highly flammable resin, tallow and oil, the raw materials of soap.

    I'd heard of these mysterious tunnels under Liverpool when I visited years ago, but I didn't really know anything about them, and assumed that there probably wasn't much to them. So this video is a bit of a surprise. They're on an enormous scale and beautifully brick lined - I wasn't expecting that at all.
    I love it when people get passionate about their local area and are keen to share it with all and sundry. Thank you to everyone involved in showing us this project. If ever I get back to Liverpool I'll be sure to pay a visit.

    I have never heard of these tunnels, what an incredible place .Thanks for the friends for contacting you . Yes I was thinking all the way through that it was very cathedral like but also it reminded me of the inside of an Egyptian pyramid with all the chambers. Some of the artefacts that were on show were almost intact or even intact it amazes me that they just threw them down the hole!

    Interesting does the tunnels have any issues with flooding? I think Williamson just ask people who's homes and businesses are above what they needed a coal cellar(for the home)or place to store meat(for the butchers above)or a huge place to store sand(for the bottle factory above). He had the men to dig and build anyway so the guys helping everyone people who live and have business in hes local area + gives jobs.What a good guy

    I was hoping that you would get round to covering the fascinating Williamsons tunnels. I lived in Liverpool for many years and heard all kinds of stories about them but never got the chance to see them for myself. Apparently they extended all the way to the docks and there are many rumours about them being used for smuggling. Great video. Do we have to wait a week until part 2?

It was encouraging to hear of a wealthy man in this time period who not only gave unskilled , broken soldiers a job .... but he made sure they could learn new trades... if desired. He gave men dignity... not welfare that sucks the hope and pride out of a person. Thanks for sharing your passion. You are a gem.

    Well ... even though it was not Manchester but Liverpool it was another enlightening Martin-Zero-Video.
    Wow - and also wow to the friends of the Williamson tunnels. People do strange things - and other people do other strange things to preserve these and it *is* a museum of a very uncommon style well worth visiting. For the time being when I'm on retirement in a couple of years Liverpool has now made it to my "map of places to go".
    Thanks for sharing and I'm already very curiously waiting for Part 2.
