Underground Leeds-The subteranean city explore!

Let the intrepid explorers of the Leeds Historical Expedition Society take you on a tour through some of Leeds most secret places, Here we follow the course of the Meanwood beck as it runs the 2 mile culverted section, The beck runs around & underground some of the oldest most neglected parts of Leeds. Discover some of the city's most secret subteranen underworlds as we traverse right under the bus station then underneath the railway viaduct on New York street where we can even hear a train rumble over head. The tunnel then turns left & heads to where we emerge at the river Aire in between Crown point bridge & the royal armouries! The L.H.E.S team for the day were Dave H, Sam H, Basher & myself phill.d, We are a proffesional exploration team & must remind you that these places are a potential DEATH TRAP to the inexperienced...DON'T GO DOWN THERE you might not come back out!! Hope you enjoy the video trip instead!!...To see more LHES adventure explores in words and pictures see here http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=265602590...

Music is too loud and irritating - had you got loud music blarring when you went through the tunnel - why not??!! Turn it off or at least turn it down - it spoils it

[philldavison]

Have you got a volume control on your speakers. If not, why not? if you have..THEN USE IT!!!!

[philldavison]

Thanks apple... Actually it's a well known urb ex run... there's more people go down there than you'd imagine..it even has it's own name. THE MASTICATOR.

Yes you could walk it from Adel but it might be a fight through the undergrowth.. The walkable culvert starts at Buslingthorpe lane... Yes the Roscoe setion is the Gledhow beck, we followed it in half way but it was a very small boring section.

[Organgrinder1010]

Fascinating! Well done!

[SittingMooseShaman]

...what? No barge awaits!

[listeronomoo]

Great Video. What's amazing is the engineering involved. Are these tunnels a hundred years old?



[RealCadde]

@philldavison Well it would be nice to actually hear what you are saying... But since it's just that bad i think i'll just pass.

a good film spoiled entirely by the awful music almost unwatchable

[leedsm18]

Would love to go a wandering down there and a few other hidden/abandoned places bout leeds. Did you need to get special permission to go down there?

[0gardner]

Which part of the tunnel did you think was best?

[applesweeter]

Is this sewage?

[TheYazoo321]
