well, our historian has never been down himself, but now it s been scanned, he can. what do you make of it? yeah so my first impressions, really, of seeing it is, of course, the two different types of construction in here. ifind it quite interesting, up above we ve got this red brick. you know, large parts of warwick were completely gutted by fire in 1694 95, and so this would certainly correlate to this being built, maybe, when the houses up above were demolished and rebuilt after the fire. of course, what really interests me is down below, this sandstone tunnel, because this looks like it s been really carved quite aggressively and quite vigorously into the rock. if this is just a waste tunnel, why is it so big? you know what, it s a very, very good question. my instinct before coming down here was that it was carved quite large because, of course, people would be coming down here, so they re not going to, kind of, crawl around carving, they ll need space to really kind of chip in. i

could this reallyjust be a waste tunnel? our historian has never been down himself, but now it s been scanned, it can. what do you make of it? yeah so my first impression is across the two different types of construction in here. ifind it quite interesting, up above we have this red brick, large parts of warwick were completely gutted by fire in 1694 95, and so this would certainly correlate to this being built maybe when the houses up above were demolished and rebuilt after the fire. of course what really interests me is down below, this sandstone tunnel, because this looks like it has been really carved quite aggressively and quite vigorously into the rock. if this is just a waste tunnel, why is it so big? you know what, it s a very good question. my instinct before coming down here was that it was carved quite large because of course people would be coming down here, so they are not
really carved quite aggressively and quite vigorously into the rock. if this is just a waste tunnel, why is it so big? you know what, it s a very, very good question. my instinct before coming down here was that it was carved quite large because, of course, people would be coming down here, so they re not going to, kind of, crawl around carving, they ll need space to really kind of chip in. it s far larger than i expected, and i think that does question whether this was solely and indeed originally only for waste. so, the mystery continues, but the harvey brothers are in this for the long game. i see this project going on quite a long time. i feel like i couldn t really put it to bed until we ve scanned the whole of warwick, above and below ground. it s fascinating seeing the correlation, for me, fascinating when i see the models, where you see the tunnel underneath the ground, and now we can determine where the buildings on top of the ground are in relation to the below ground. alex a
