pietro Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I was missing my fix of the old Hole in the Road, so I got my shovel out yesterday, had a qick dig about, found some old buses, roped in a few passing strangers, suitably dressed of course and hey presto. http://www.vidiLife.com/reloc.cfm?cryp=010-25E9891F-9630-4995-B7E4-A You can just see me fiddling in the fish tank on the extreme right. Sadly its now filled back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyO Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I have been told that there used to be some sort of shopping area, around where is now HMV/Boots/Cathedral... which was filled in before the trams got put back in (around 1995?) Apparently you could see the sky from it, but it was lower than the normal street level. Sounds all very intriguing.. surely anyone who's lived here since before 95 or so should know whether it's true or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyO Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Um.. well i don't know. Did this hole have shops it in? It might all just be that I have been lied to, but apparently it was just sort of a big hole with shops in... dunno how people didn't fall into it etc.? Any pics?

themagicwand Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 As a kid I used to love descending the stairs into the labyrinth that was the hole in the road! I don't think I ever managed to exit via the stairs that I wanted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyO Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Sounds amazing.. and weird... why was it underground? Did it lead anywhere. Do you think it's still there under the ground/tram lines. Are there any pictures of it anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
