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 :(

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.
 
Outstanding shots as always mate, your reports always fascinate me! ;)
 
I've got a bit of a new-found understanding and appreciation of tunnels now :)
 
Ooh, missed this. Fascinating place, and beautiful images as always. Wall construction is amazing, you'd be proud if that was your garden wall!
