Laat Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Hi, Newbie here so be gentle. Can anybody tell me anything about the urban legend of the secret tunnel that runs from the courthouse towards the site of the 12th century, as was the castle? I heard something years back about workers going down it and coming back up with white hair! lol Wondered if there was any truth in it? I know about the Megatron system under the station and up to the cathedral and up onto Ponds Forge. Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedW Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Have a look at this, at the bottom of the map the tunnel between the Court House and cells can be seen. The tunnel was built as part of the 1866 extension which provided cells in Castle Green to replace the poor facilities in the old Town Hall/Courts building. https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/14825-buildings-in-waingate/#comment-128802 A thread on other tunnels in Sheffield: https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/356-tunnels-under-sheffield/#comments Edited October 28, 2023 by TedW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
