Someone wrote something on one of the topics on here a long while back about a tunnel/underground burn in the Westend around Walker Street area (I think)
I came into this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left

I can remember my Grandpa talking about a tunnel under or near the Wellmeadow Bowling Club, but I thought he was joking. Alice

The photo shows a tunnel going under the old porridge bowl some time after 1850, going back to when there was distillers etc in well street as i have identified the roofs of where clavering street is now.

Im going this now to scan the photo and get it on

Obvoiusly due to the rarity ( and costof the ph oto ) i have cropped it dramatically

photo is taken possibly from king street looking towards john neilston, you shall notice doors on this end and this is where they originally were and this was the entrance for driving in !! houses on the right are oakshaw and former school is on left of photo

ideas on the tunnel welcome
