Take a good look at this , as this is how they would have us once again only probably worse , take a look around you.

Visited this place many times. Wish it was still there A truly amazing experience. So sad it's no longer there

So glad this has been recorded as it has brought many memories back of going as a youngster. I live in Wigan I remember my relatives came over from American and were taken aback by the strict classroom teacher but added to the realism. We went to trencherfield mill afterwards and the engineer let them sound the horn on the steam engine, it made my so proud showing off Wigans heritage to them.

I hear port and tunnel's, sound's solidly like smuggling, tax evasion! Excellent 😅 however just crazy, bored rich guy, hobby project?😮😅

Obviously the tunnels were built for sax players to noodle in…

We went with our kids in 2000 it was brilliant I wish it had stayed there!

These sinister tunnels were probably built to smuggle kidnapped people around Liverpool. The people that were smuggled were probably kids, sent across the city to the satanic freemason perverts who populated parts of Liverpool. I wonder how many of these kid's were never seen or heard of again. 😢

We visted in 1990. My mum was born in Wigan her Ancesters came from Wigan and many still live there today. Alot were coal Miners. My Mum was born in Scot Lane Wigan. Relatives worked on the Canals.

loved these shows

I really want to visit them soon.

Remember a great school trip in the early 90s. The classroom part was scary and I think we wrote on slate with chalk, was 30 years ago so a bit fuzzy now.

Thankyou for the happy memories. My father took me here several times, i also enjoyed school trips here. Sad to hear it shut down. It should never have been closed.

lol "For those that have eyes in which to see, but many will not see". LOOK carefully. That block work @ 4:10 That was taken not long after his death. Does it LOOK like new block work or like an "Excavated site?

Who else came here after watching Doctor Who!?

Came here after watching Doctor Who Flux Episode 1... This is now on my list of favorite strange architectural constructs right along with the Winchester House

They should never have closed this place. We went on a school trip and it was fantastic x

This brought back a thousand memories for me I went with primary school about 14 years ago ❤️

Went many years ago with a school party of 10/11 yr olds. Schoolroom was superb. Strict teachers gave a real flavour. Went a few years later and it was v toned down almost apologetic and v disappointing. Heard that there'd been complaints that the kiddies were upset. God help us all.

I was an actor here for 5 months in the early 1990's. It was a wonderful first job, so many fond memories. Especially our favourite line as a schoolteacher "get your hands out of your pockets boy, you can play with your marbles later!" hehe

So if anybody has any brains...... they know that to dump all that mud in them tunnels would be the same effort as what it took to dig it out....... why use all that man power and time to do this??? Let’s think is there any other reasons these tunnels could be filled in with mud..... all we get is the info that the people that built these structures all done them for there philanthropy reasons..... look up the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie who also done the same...... created all marvelous structures to keep people in work....... bullshit.....

What a delightful, yet sad look into the world of our ancestors. Thank you.

It just goes to prove that theirs more to Liverpool than Football and the Beetles.

This brings back memories wow and that hooter I used to hear as a child in the 80s thanks so much :)

Tartaria ....

bullshit mudflood

@2:17 The previous tunnel workers are in the corner !!

Why can’t u just leave the history alone

were was the rubbish out of it dumped ???

Went today, fascinating

🐸 I am telling you what in the 1800 that "poor rich guy" did: He excaveted with his hand like a rat untill he could at least find something precious to sell and buy for some food! Then he really found enough to become rich and employed other rats to excavate even more those ALREADY EXISTING TUNNELS✔️

And just after these tunnels was built.... took years building em..... they started to build St. George’s hall and world museum and all the other Greco buildings around Liverpool..... no pics of nothing getting built🤔

I was a regular visitor to the Gloucester site and it was with delight that I saw that there was a museum of memories located at Weston Super Mare during a stay a couple of days ago . The museum is housed at the end of the brand new grand pier on the second floor. However to access the museum you have to walk through a massive area encompassing the whole of the pier end of slot machines and amusement machines including the "happy monkey" which drove me scatty. Not to be put off we went up the escalator to the top floor where there was even more slot machines and screaming kids. The tiny area adjacent to the hellish amusement arcade was devoted to the museum and of course the £3 admission fee. I wouldn't go again no matter how good the exhibition was as I left with a splitting headache from all the noises and lights of the gaming machines. Why oh why does the museum have to be located in an area like that ??

How did all the rubble get in the tunnels???? That’s the question. They was all built then some how are filled in..... who filled them in????? Looks like a mud flood to me💪🏻

Check out mud flood videos. It ties in with this. ; )

Belting. Thanks for this. I did get a chance to go there, but I’d forgotten a lot of what they’d displayed. Great vid.

We went on my 40th birthday it was fantastic so many memories and my then teenage kids loved it. I bought a clanger from the souvenir shop. Happy memories. Thank you.

Went to visit with my sister in 2012. Left with more questions the answers but still a great trip!

It's great being a part of it all. We welcome visitors, so book in for a tour. More info at www.williamsontunnels.com

fastastic work done by all. facinating place to visit

just seen this on BBC news, interesting stuff.

Paddington is just behind the Bears Paw and the FoWT are near on their hundredth skip. Go along and see. Check out their Facebook page, just type in Friends of Williamson's Tunnels. Amazing progress

There's a visitor centre now at the site in Edge Hill. I've always been fascinated by the tunnels. Lots of interesting debris was thrown down into them over the years, including old coloured glass bottles.

if rubbish got dumped into the tunnels soon after JW's death in 1840, then there may be collectibles as old as 170 yrs old still down there or recovered by the Friends.

always facinated me these tunnels,
