Skynet Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I heard there was a tunnel linking The University of Sheffield's St. Georges lecture theatre/flats and Mappin Buildings... Your correct there are indeed, however after renovation these tunnels have now been sealed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swain90 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hi all, Was talking to a friend if mine earlier today who said there was/is a secret tunnel that runs from the cemetery to one of the houses just off ecelsall road. I was just wondering if anyone else had heard about this or knew more about it? Thanks Swain90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hots on Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Why isn't it clear exactly what is down there and what isn't, how extensive the tunnels are etc? doesn't the council know? If they do know then why not put out information to stop everyone guessing and spreading rumours. If the tunnels could be made safe, are they a potential tourist attraction?
