I always knew the tunnels existed as having been down the iron mongers in Wood Streets cellars. Why is it that no records exist, I appreciate they were proberely used to smuggle contraband once? Trev.

Is this called the Villett's House ... it's a masterpiece. I must note it down so one day when I come to visit England I'll know where to go. My favourite hobby is looking at old English buildings and I have to admit - I admire the architecture of England and I really hope I can come over (to England) someday and have a look at the actual thing. Cheers, Brian

What a fantastic series of photographs - reminds me of the time when my Dad lifted me up (when I was little) so I could peak down the tube like structures in Theatre Square - and being surprised at seeing a spiral staircase disappearing down into the gloom. Also there’s a hatch at the back of Brunel’s statue’s plinth that has always intrigued me. Things like this always make me think I may have walk past the entrance to a secret a labyrinth without knowing it...
