Needed some waders

The pile of round things on the floor are microwave antennas. Used for high bandwidth comms links between towers and other tall buildings. Was the way to flip phone and data traffic quickly around the country from tower to tower until emerging at the "last mile" exchange. All done with IP these days

Very interesting. I got shaky knees when you opened the hatch on the top. When your hat blew off I was praying inside "please don't go after the hat! please don't go after the hat!" 😂

lived and worked there 08-09 . first bedroom on your left as u walked in at the start. Thanks always wondered what it was like inside

Nice work boys.

Is this in King's Lynn?

The nostalgia

In case you want to see the lovely Siddy slide through that same turnstile or find out stuff about the place, Yesterday channel's Secrets of the London UndergrounD s2ep3.

5:36 This signal box apparently stayed open for another 32 years after the station closed in 1932. Pity the poor sods who had to do shifts all alone down here!

Guest Keen and Nettlefold still exists and have been for a couple of hundred years, they weren't just for the war it was like most factories that did engineering etc were involved in the war effort. My second driving job in 1966 was driving for a metal fasteners company called Davis and Timmins Ltd, they were based in Wood Green North London selling nuts bolts and screws etc.

Hardcore 1993 memory's 😊

Third eye & atomic jam, trade

good video squeak squeak squeak squeak

How did u get here this is cool

Picks up a BT phone directory, "thats old". I'm ancient then.😂

The old amphitheater was awesome. Fruit club days

One day when I am in ELEVATOR ifeel some kind of shake what is ELEVATOR works

En France aussi nous avons encore des autocommutateurs AXE10 temporels Ericsson (fabriqués en France sous licence). Nous commençons à les stopper, mais les derniers mourront en 2030.

I remember going down the slides with my dad. Seriously gutted it’s abandoned mate 😢

I was assigned as security police at Greenham Common 1983-1984. I spent a lot of time at that entry control point. The "G" on the light switches designate the patrol areas. G meaning GAMA, then the area. The small building further on was the "Fire Team" building. (8:57) With small windows. It housed 4 man armored car team that did not routinely patrol. Just during alarms or emergencies. 2 men with M-16s, 1 with M-203, and a machine gunner, M60. So much money was spent on that base. I guess it is good we don't need it any more. But shame about all that had to be spent on it. I never went into the big bunkers. They were always manned with officers and men that ran the missiles. So maybe you have seen more then I ever did. Smaller bunkers had "high value" assets and ammo. Thanks for the memories.

Were is that tunnel id like 2 check it out

Wtf kind of hydraulic jack setup is that? I've never seen something like this in the US. I'm also extremely surprised it isn't low on oil. Have you ever seen one low on oil?

Id love to get down there. I assume Rudloe Manor and the CCC has tunnels connecting to these? The CCC is interesting and I wreckon thats where it goes further underground unless there is more places in the area ive not heard of. Deffo did research in these underground tunnels and facilities including Rudloe Manor. Whether they had and ufo wreckage or not i dont know but research 100% happened there.

Nice explore :)

I remember going there with my grand parents on Christmas whne they came for the holidays

well sacurity would know flipper was around,, they would hear him 1/2 a mile away. man get him some quiet boots.

This is sad xx

Is there no one manning it anymore?🧐 (live in Corsham)

Concrete door?? Bastards🥱😂

Great video! I've worked for telecommunications for a few years and have always wondered/been interested in what an Exchange looks like. Bravo.

Good video but his shoes where annoying to listen to.

Wow British quality electrics so good it works underwater

Sadly this place got demolished a couple years ago

All railways of this kind worked by water, you filled the tank when at the top to outweigh the carriage at the bottom then drained it when it reached the bottom. Then the other carriage was filled and so it went on.

Where is this located at in the UK?

Spotted a tag of yours today I think down there

;) good job

Fantastic footage. Give my left nut to go down there!!!😄

Myself, my pregnant daughter, my baby, my son and an older lady all free fell in that lift today into this abandoned night club.. we walked round everywhere trying to find a way out but couldn't.. the lady called a shop who then called security to help.. it was terrifying. Felt some bad energy down there.

Thay could of cleaned all this up what a shame on birmingham city center thay could of made some money sold some tickets for this

Where is all the people going to sleep please thank you

How the fuck did you manage this?!

Gutting to see... Amazing clubbing venue.

My family lived in Birmingham from 1970 to 1985. I wonder if we were connected to that exchange when it was full of all the old mechanical switches and other equipment?

Is the guy in blue wearing horseshoes?

It cannot be reopened, The platforms and modern safety standards are not compatible I heard and that it would be better building from scratch, so both expensive options. Also it would slow down most of the Piccadilly line causing longer waits at King's Cross adding more congestion there. So it's a non-starter, only in London would you get people too lazy to walk or catch a bus down a road, so it would be inconvenience millions for the sake of being a convenience for thousands, that's how it was weighed up.

Was a shit load in. We used to have to carry all the PA system, lighting, staging EVERYTHING up those stairs. Some great nights in there!

How do you get in? Isnt the door shut tight?

SO Many memories watching this..Debenhams was my Favourite store..Also used the Cafe n Beauty salon
