We are visting North Walsham...today..for the weekend.

Very interesting. Jake was an engaging tour guide

Iv just been sent this video. This has literally been an obsession of mine since I was little. My dad had a shop in North walsham on market Street and in the cellar there was a half bricked up tunnel. You could see over the bricks into the void behind but he never let us explore. I don't expect it's still there as the building next to it was demolished and you guys are standing on it at the end of your video. But I can't wait to hear what else you actually uncover about these tunnels

I lived there for over 30 yrs. My father had shop on market place which had a tunnel running over to Roger Bucks old shop. I knew a guy called Peter Appleton. He researched so much about this wonderful town and church. He could be a fountain of great knowledge regarding these tunnels

Fascinating.. Would love to find out more in the future.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing

Fascinating Chris.

Another very fascinating video Chris. You both revealed so many interesting facts about North Walsham, and as a regular visitor, I'll be more aware of what's around me. BTW... post lockdown hair is looking much better 👍

This was brilliant. You should definitely come back and film again if more history is revealed. It would not surprise me if there were tunnels under towns like North Walsham as things like this would have been important and useful in the past.

Went to school here - never knew this. Mapping them out would be interesting, but a lot of properties have non-connected cellars. I've heard of tunnels as escape routes from 'invasion'. English Civil war @17c might have encouraged them.

great video chris

My current residence is in North Walsham, another excellent vid mate, back to the roots of how we first met 😁😁

Chris Richmond give or take yes! Still have the pictures somewhere when we went on the coast near the radar site!!

Very interesting...

Have a look at the old boots the chemist, my mum was a manager there for 25 years,, she’s been retired for 20 years, there is a tunnel that goes across the square to the church

l found this fascinating. l have come across many stories of supposed tunnels but l have found it hard to research as occupiers of the buildings deny their existence or are very quiet. l was allowed access to one cellar which had at least 2 bricked up arched recess, which the bricks were not tied into anything also there was a square door in one wall facing next door, it was old and but rusty and had hazard tape round the edge if the metal frame that was old too. When l asked the lady what it was she became defensive and said oh thats mine, she just worked in this shop but l decided to leave. since then l have seen exploring vids with a similar door & those have been for emergency escapes in bunkers. Theres a world beneath our feet that we are only recently becoming aware of, but some people are well aware of them, and they are very reluctant to admit this let alone talk about them. l think we will find that a great many towns and cities have tunnels.

Never knew there were all these cellars, really interesting

Would be interesting to see cellar locations ghousted over a street plan. Norwich folk speak of Norwich tunnels too.

basically the guy has done no research then

dont interview people with crossed arms ...as it makes you look defensive of the person you are interviewing and doubtful
