Default Whos is this underground garage? (Liverpool) (pics)

With a RST and a 3door Cossie and a 3dr base model with XR4x4 rims in it!

Properly cool garage, fair way underground, in what used to be Dingle station on the Liverpool Overhead railway.

3dr in this pic


some caged up rallycar here


S2 RS Turbo up there


3dr Cossie again


3dr non-cossie


Pretty fucking cool, they seem to own the whole tunnel too, which is like half a mile long or summat, thats a fucking ace garage, i want one like that, lol.

Can you not read old man

I said, was Dingle train station, a terminus on the Liverpool Overhead (even tho the station is way underground ) railway.

Closed in 1956.

Other end of the tunnel-


The station in the 1930s


Plenty more room if they want it

yes been there.

that pic of it all blocked, all them arches were units, these have now been vacated and flats/houses have been built next to the tunnel exit.

remember the series' Bread' that street is on top of the tunnel almost.

the tunnel was part of the liverpool overhead railway'the dockers umbrella',knocked down years ago.

the entrance to Roscs is near the bottom of Park Road, Toxteth.

there is another dissused railway under Liverpool, this goes from the dock, near to Costco and then goes under the city and comes out in Tunnel Road,near Wavertree.

this was going to get open to get the traffic out of liverpool but its only big enough for single traffc so for safty it was not used.

bit more shit that you may not have know.

There's a place underneath a park in norwich that you used to get in via the old rowntrees factory but I can't find anything about it, apparently it's like a big underground dance hall or sommat.

Steve if your into all Underground and mines and stuff.

You should have a look into all the local area around Box

Theres so much stuff around here. Theres map and stuff you can buy in the Box Pubs to go exploring under there.

Theres underground platforms down there and a branch off the main line

Not mines n shit, but the other underground stuff, yeah.

The thing your on about was the massive underground base there, and the tunnel (quarry tunnel think its called) right next to Box tunnel that used to lead the trains in there (its hidden behind a metal fence now).
TBH ive seen it soo much in pics etc it makes me not that fussed to go there myself.
You need some serious torch batterys if you was to go in there, pitch black and can walk for miles and miles, dont think id have the bottle unless was with someone who knew their way around

Ive been in Corsham Computers, which is a bit special, but isnt disused, and the chances of ever going in there or even seeing pics of exactly whats all down there is about 0% as i dont think it "officially" exists

I love old abandoned stuff as well.

Me and a few mates sometimes go out exploring places (usually old warehouses and office blocks )

Gonna be checking out Caine Hill Asylum soon. Should be good!

If you get the chance go in there mate..

Its fookin scary but theres some proper weird people in there. The last time we went, there was some sort of Pagan clan in there chanting and all holding swords and sacrificying rabbits.



As you can imagine you walking through pitch black and come across a load of people in robes with swords you fook off pretty quick
