Beneath New Brighton's New Palace

Beneath New Brighton's New Palace is a network of tunnels that were used for the manufacture and storage of US munitions during the second world war when 200 women worked shifts around the clock. As a result the Palace Social Club was formed in the same tunnels. This was later renamed \the Creep Inn due to the confined location.

Stay tuned mate, I've got a few more trips up my sleeve. For example, the munitions battery at the fort is massive and is well worthy of getting on film. Not to mention the old marimers' home on Seabank, dissused for years and used by the police to train their dogs. Fascinating underground Newbo.

@whitestar1dj Yes the ghost train did go through the cellar. :)

I sure the old ghost train ride that was in the fair for years used part of the basement tunnels.

The tunnels there must surely run further. And you're right about the lake, there are many accounts of the Victorians hosting underground boat rides underneath the Palace.

However this is good coverage, thanks.
