No im not stuck in it , but have acquired a photograph the shows a tunnel going under part of the westend before 1900's !! before i post more info has anyone ever heard of refance to this before either in conversations or books etc ?

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

I can remember something as well OLL and did it not come right down to the Cart?

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

was it KKs den from number 10
