To be irritated about DP and the tunnel?

DP (we don’t live together) has just moved into a new house. It’s in a right state, needs ridiculous amounts of work doing to it including a whole new heating system (currently just has coal fires in each room!) new bathrooms (of which there are 3) and roofing repairs etc etc - he kind of inherited it but not completely, he has had to pay for it but at a daft price. It’s a listed building with land, pretty isolated.

Anyway! He’s been in there a few weeks and found a tunnel in the basement that was bricked up but the bricks had began to fall apart which is how the tunnel came to light. I found this fascinating and asked where it led and he said he didn’t know. I asked “did you not go in it??” And he said “no, it won’t be anything excited”. Why would you not go in it?? I’m desperate to know where it leads!! I’ve asked him a few times to have a look and he said he has more important things to be doing - I can’t get my head around it!!

im staying there at weekend and I said I’m going to explore the tunnel - he rolled his eyes and said “ffs can you stop fascinating over that stupid tunnel?”

it’s making me quite annoyed

I worked for a family who had a tunnel. From the monestry which her home was part of...down to the sea to help escapees on the run.. A mile apparently.. It was blocked off.

I am very annoyed with the OP.

The only tunnel was the one we were all left in the dark in.

SoupDragon · 06/07/2024 15:17

There is no tunnel.

KnickerlessParsons · 06/07/2024 14:02

@RockHardCake - are you still in the tunnel?

OP has become a Tunnel Person now.

KnickerlessParsons · 10/05/2024 17:13

You still there @RockHardCake ??

Arconialiving · 08/05/2024 20:22

Any tunnel updates Op?

LetMeGoogleThat · 31/03/2024 11:33

Ooo, love a tunnel! www.ricsfirms.com/ go on here and find a proper surveyor, the tech they use is pretty cool 😎

Kidnapped by morlocks! 😳

KnickerlessParsons · 31/03/2024 11:07

@RockHardCake
Are you ever coming back? You can't leave us hanging! (Unless you're stuck in the tunnel, in which case you're forgiven)

PandaChopChop · 25/03/2024 20:57

Can you please provide photos 🤣

I'm really loving the remote control car and the go pro. Great visions 🤣

brassbells · 24/03/2024 13:02

Could you walk upright or were you bent in half?

In other words how big was the tunnel?

Width and height etc?

MolkosTeenageAngst · 23/03/2024 12:13

Living above a tunnel like this would terrify me, but would also have me beside myself with curiosity!

I'd get in touch with the local history society, they'd be really interested in this.

yeah agreed, you'll be able to find something out about a property like this surely. I really feel worried people think you should just go into it! Has nobody watched Buffy the Vampire slayer? There could be demons or vampires 😂

Annielou67 · 23/03/2024 12:09

do you have a fearless friend who will explore with you?

TheGreatGherkin · 23/03/2024 08:58

I'd be elbowing him out of the way and removing bricks to have a look.

Amonthinthecountry · 23/03/2024 08:54

Oh come on. Get your wellies and a bright torch and just go for it!!

Mnk711 · 22/03/2024 18:45

Just go in and look properly, if you don't disturb anything it won't cave in. Don't move rocks or open gates inside and you'll be fine. Go nosing! Very cool, I'd love to have that in my house.

My nan had a hidden tunnel. It came out at the bottom of the neighbours garden. We weren't allowed in it though as lots of rubble made it unsafe.

SoupDragon · 22/03/2024 16:05

Guess how annoyed it's making all the interested people here that you haven't provided photos...

Hoplolly · 22/03/2024 14:57

There's rumours of tunnels in the town near me and there's a local company that goes in and scans searching for them. I'd post on a local Facebook group as people are so into this they often do it for free!

mindutopia · 22/03/2024 14:17

This is wonderful. I would see if you have a local historical society or anyone at a local library/museum who could help you do some research.
