I popped down a couple of weeks ago without my camera and decided to pop back down (Technically I was on 1 - 10 so this is a dinner hour visit)



The entry is starting to get a bit dodgy, someone has gone through one of the bottom steps and one of the steps higher up started to crumble below my foot which doesn't feel to good when you're alone.

The plant and tunnels was used during WW2 to build plane engines

Looks like its definetly a place for wellies!

Never knew such place was around!

Looks well worth a future visit!
 
My Father-in-Law worked at the Longbridge factory, in the West works and he used to say there were engines and complete cars in the tunnels.
 
Great shots. I've worked in a few car plants in the Midlands (not Longbridge though) and they all have stories about tunnels under the works.

It's nice to see some that are actually documented.
 
Epic. That last shot is 'teh shizz'.
Absolutely steeped in history, fantastic shots as always.
