Has anyone ever explored the old tunnel from back of Victoria Centre, Nottingham, under Mansfield Road?.

Mansfield Road Tunnel, UE types have definitely done it.;D

Wiki suggests it's now blocked at both ends but access may still be possible.

Just for the record, you may be interested in some old images taken by my grandfather in the 1890s when the line through Nottingham was being built. Shows Carrington Tunnel and whatnot.

Very interesting images, thanks.
