Thanks for the clarification.

Hey toomsie,what exactly is under Kentigern house?

[toomse]

Step for a hint to walk the route of the Telephone House Pitt Street tunnel











The Glasgow BT tunnel network have distinctive emergency escape hatch manholes. These can be identified by the small metal square 8” x 6” embedded on the covers



Here’s the first one outside Telephone House at Pitt Street/Bishop Lane










The next one is located 10m north of 95 Pitt Street. This can be quite hard to locate during the day due to parked cars










Next one is at the pedestrian crossing Pitt Street/Bothwell Street




Here’s the last one where the tunnel ends at Pitt Street/St Vincent Street




There’s another two hatches at Bishop Street/Bishop Lane, these are connected to the Dial House south tunnel that runs to Washington Street










Google view of the Dial House North tunnel hatches at Holland Street/St Vincent Street




Security and maintenance for the Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle tunnels are provided by SPIE Mathew Hall




get the idea

Hi Barcelomond - I think the low brick walls in your photos are actually supports for the old heating boilers

I work in George street.
This door is in our basement.

If the previous concierge hadnt just left i would have got in for a look.
Its alarmed so no one can go through

Talk to it nicely. Tell it there's nothing to be alarmed about. Tell it everything is going to be fine. Then, when it's not looking, sneak in and have a look.

Sound advice indeed.

Aye, cheeky, but very funny

Great pics (as usual) Toomse.

I'm assuming thats the date they were taken, in the bottom RHC?

Also the most recent one is number 188.
That means there's at least another 186 out there somewhere.

[toomse]

thanks purplepantman - there's 240 in total!

this is stamped on the back of the pics with varying dates


I also have a collection of slides in my possession but I'd need one of those devices that converts them to digital images

[HollowHorn]

I'm quite lost for words, a triumph, Sir.
