Secret Tunnels Found Under Wiltshire Railway Works During Upgrades Secret Tunnels Found Under Wiltshire Railway Works During Upgrades

Workers found a hidden network under Salisbury station in Wiltshire. The discovery happened during station upgrades when an old phone box was removed. This led to the revealing of a dark tunnel.

Engineers explored the unknown tunnel. They found many tunnels and rooms and now want to learn its purpose and uncover its origins. This discovery is part of a big historical effort.

Salisbury station sees two million users yearly. This hidden tunnel, unused for decades, offers a glimpse into the past. The tunnel runs under platform four, and the main chamber has rail supports. Old signal equipment was also found.

Studies show the tunnel helped station operations. Trains once had guard vans, and barrels of beer went to other stations. People also traded eggs from Whitchurch using these tunnels. Green doors were at the tunnel entrance before.

Planks helped roll beer barrels down steps, with ropes aiding this process. Later, planks and sleepers replaced the doors. Twin rollers were also found there, having guided train track switches previously.

Steve Kelly called the finding interesting and linked it to modern and old times, saying the tunnel unveils railway history. Anna Jipps likes discovering railway history. Experts are learning more about the tunnel, which is part of Salisbury’s past.

Daniel Holmes wants everyone informed and values Salisbury’s history. Dan Sherwood said the discovery thrills them and reminds them of unseen history. They look forward to exploring further links.
