Tunnels in the city centre
Sir,
A recent article in the Journal reminded me of when I worked in Scotts of the Diamond for a couple of months in 1978 (this is now Wetherspoons).
On many occasions I had to go down into a tunnel to retrieve boxes that were stored there for all the crystal and china that they sold. These were more than cellars, definitely tunnels.
I remember this so well as I was a young girl and always terrifed going down there.
I remember a huge metal gate that blocked the passageway. I often wondered where the tunnel went to and I am sure it went underneath Bishop Street across towards Austins.
I have been saying for years to my family that under Wetherspoons there is a network of tunnels.
I’m sure other people are also aware of this. I have often wondered why no-one has ever mentioned them as they would be a fantastic tourist opportunity.
Yours,
Sandra Semple
