Urbex (well sort of) in Manchester AND maybe a pint Date to be c
onfirmed ......

Did this a while back and wondered IF anyone was up for a
Sundays wander ....Cost's around a fiver and is well worth doing
IMHO,
It's organised by a firm that run's various tours and that but
it's not too museum like .
It takes in some of the subterranean world of Manchester
including some of the Cathedral arches WWII Air raid shelters
A remarkable tour about the mysterious world that lies under
your feet deep below the city. We head through a subterranean
canal, deep below the city’s streets which became Manchester’s
largest Second World War air-raid shelter. When you get down
there it’s damp, dank and dismal. It smells of the dark recesses
of the planet). It’s pitch black. Access is not available to the
public (or indeed to nearly all the other city tour guides),
which is why you’re coming on this tour.
On the Underground Manchester tour we build up to the moment
when we go down below with some spine-chilling stories about
Manchester in the Cold War, the atomic wars that never happened,
and the Second World War that did. We tell you how the city was
going to be invaded by the Nazis in 1943 and stop outside where
they expected to base their HQ.
We then drop down, down, deeper and down into the biggest
subterranean shelter in Manchester, built into the long-disused
tunnel of the Manchester and Salford Junction Canal, where tens
of thousands huddled in safety from the Nazi bombs inside its
vast chasmic chambers under the most imposing and imperious
brick work you’ll ever see.
We eventually head off along the tunnels to find the canal’s
waters before they find us. Don’t worry, we do resurface but to
a lighter, brighter, finer-smelling world, and follow the route
at street level, above where we’ve just been below, until none
of us can get any further.
Usual format ....names,copy,add paste etc IF you are interested
and i'll look into dates 8) 8) 8)

Aye we would both be interested in that Ian - I love Manchester
and spend too much time and money wandering around the bars on
the surface, so to see it from a different angle would be very
interesting. Do you have any dates in mind?
