Yes
Ok this is a question, recently I have been hearing about tunnels that run beneath Blackpool.
Normally I would just let this go as fantasy, but Ive been hearing it from various different people, who dont know each other, and I cant seem to find anyone who knows the entrance, other than there is one in Bispham.
So my question is this, to anyone from Blackpool or surrounding areas, are these tunnels true, and if they are, where can you get into them, if it is indeed possible.
Or is it an urban myth.
I just thought I would ask on here as I know there is some urban explorers on here.
Thanks, Ash
 
Is Fylde Coast near you, I'm sure I remember tunnels being there, although I could be completely wrong, it has been known before
 
Do you mean Man made ones?? there are natural tunnels and caves everywhere..

There could be man made one too.. you never know.. like under London, there are tunnels EVERYWHERE!!! you'd be supprised as to how many!! under Westminster theres almost an underground city!! floors and floors that go DEEP under the sewers and Tube network.. Its almost like what you see in Men In Black!! so i wouldnt be suprised if there was..
 
they house aliens that have landed on earth. Obviously they need somewhere to live, so they built a network of secret tunnels below blackpool, with casino's cinema's, leisure centres and a place to repair their broken ufo's and also contact their home planet through inter-galactice telecommunications that far in advance of our technology...

hope that helps ;)
 
:LOL::LOL::LOL:
 
Dont be daft surrealillusions, I was asking a serious question, and I mean man made tunnels, and yes Blackpool and the Fylde :) in answer to kelack, Ive googled till I cant google any more!

Re: Blackpool Tunnels

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I only found out because I went too Blackpool council planning place.

They said there is tunnel, but they wont give us the location, so were going to have to go on a search for them

but still no answer to where they might be lol
 
Yeah, I looked on 28 days later.
All I found was posted above, and no not tunnels under the sea, lol
 
Hi, I've heard also that there are supposed to be tunnels in Blackpool. Apparently there is one from the Winter Gardens to the Tower & it was used for the circus performers & animals to get from place to place.
 
the urbex sites will have them if they're there.

As an aside - has everyone seen their version of the Sheffield cooling tower photos?
 
AFAIK there are no disused tunnels under blackpool , I do lots of urbex and spend lots of time in the 'pool

i saw them from the cooling tower, i wouldn't have dared climbed that tower lol.

good commentary though
 
I see you have collected quite a few cynics with your Question. So lets remedy that. In 1980 Iworked at the Merrie England Bar On North Pier From the cellar there is indeed a tunnel heading east up Talbot Rd, Iwas told it was blocked off about 50 yards in but no one knew what it was for or why it was there.
Over the next couple of years I heard similar stories like yourself, of tunnels under Queen st, yates's and the Little Vic on Victoria St(now demolished) but nothing of any substance.
It wasn't until 1985 that the stois started to take on some relevence, Istarted Work at the Railway Pub on talbot road(often confused with the Station and presently named O'Neills) In the very large cellar, far to large for it's purpose are three huge rooms and each room has a tunnel out of them. One heads west to the promenade, hence The Merry England Bar, one heads south west towards the tower and one heads north towards Queen St, this one I managed to enter as the other two are bricked up about 15 yards in. The one leading to queen street is also bricked up but after about 50/75 yards down.ow The Railway/ONeills is Built on the same plot of land as the Catholic church, on talbot Rd that at one time owned the land.
At on time in our dark history Catholocism was banned and anyone practicing it could be executed or some other barbaric punishment was their fate. So illegal catholic masses here held.To piece it all together these masses were held in secret and one place was under the Railway/Oneill's and as th story goes the tunnels were Built and used as escape routes if ever they got raided.
There was at one time a plaque inthe Railway stating that Illegal Catholic Masses were hel in the cellar, but either lost during the many refurbishments or some souvenier hunter has it on a bedroom wall somewhere.

I too have tried to find out more but there seems to be alot of secrecy surrounding this topic. One place I haven't trid is the church on talbot road for the simple reason.....The Catholic church would never involve themselves in anything illegal...........would they.
I hope that helps you and if you do find anything else Post it I guarantee you the tunnels do exist.
 
hay i live in blackpool and there are tunnels under there i personally havent been down but im gona go check it out soon a mate of mine went down there *** he says it goes for miles the only ways that i know of to get in atm ae the basment under primark,hmv and mcdonalds, i think theres a way of getting in under the stairs next to coral island and theres an enterence in the rock gardens in bispham but i dont know where that is when my mate went in he said he found some bunkbeds and stuff i gota go find out what it was used for. warning *** he said some of the tunnels were flooded and its like a mase down there so if you go check it out be cairfull and take some string to follow back to the enterence
 
Hey Jim, any chance you have found out where this entarance is, via the Rock Gardens?
I went down with a friend yesterday, in the dark tho, so didnt have much chance of finding a tunnel entarance. Anybody else know anything about this?
Cheers

Well this is a thread revival and a half!

Andrew, you may have to be patient. Jim hasn't been on TP since posting that. ;)
 
Plenty of Aliens living above ground in blackpool....
 
Mr sheen, thankyou. I knew it was abit of a stab in the dark asking Jim, i live in Blackpool. So i have been trying to get hold of him. Unsucesfully tho. Chris and Marc, thankyou also, i have tryed 28dayslater, but will give it a more thura search. And i will have a look at derilict places. Cheers guys :)
 
Hiya Guys, bit of good news. Me and my team found the entrance to the Tunnel in Bispham yesterday. We have arranged a date to gain entry, as there is a bit of entry work to do. We will post our photo's up as soon as we have been in. This is our first assignment as such, the only tihngs we have been to before is, a few abonded schools, and mental assylum, which didnt really take much investigating work to find. so were quite proud of ourselves :)
 
wow well done looking forward to hearing/seeing the outcome.:clap:

I worked at the winter gardens in summer 98, and theirs a bricked up tunnel in the main cellar which is accessed from the staff entrance in the alley near the halifax bank. The top of the brick up has been partially knocked away or collapsed. I have shined a torch through and the tunnel seems to travel a long distance towards the tower with what looks like numerous corridors leading away in each direction. I have been told that these tunnels were in use during WW2 when the tower was used as a radar station and the winter gardens as allied training establishment ( not 100% if this is completely true though!)

Well lets throw this in, the tunnels are an early attempt at flood defence which was abandoned because of cost, it was easier to build flood defences on the shoreline, the abandoned tunnels suited other more interesting uses there was chat of talking the waste from heysham and storing it in the tunnels, also storage for MOD, that the limit of my 2 penneth.

Hi, Did you have any luck getting in to that tunnel entrance? I always wanted to explore more after my experience at the winter gardens.

Cheers

Im from Blackpool and As a kid my grand parents told me of the tunnels. I was told more specifically of the tunnels that ran between the Raikes Pub, the synagogue and be salvation army building and others that an from winter gardens to tower and ones that run from under the town hall to other locations.

Love a bit of urbex and would love to visit these tunnels

Aran77, if you wanna try checking out these tunnels then let me know! It's good to find someone else who's interested.

They are indeed there and as stated abandoned flood defence started in the late part of 1928
