$400 billion treasure underground in England

Few people expect that beneath England is a system of tunnels and bunkers worth hundreds of billions of dollars, both mysterious and fascinating.

Here are some underground places in the UK that few people know about.

Underground in Edinburgh

The Edinburgh Underground, located beneath South Bridge, was discovered in 1788 and stretches for about 300 metres. It is best known for the haunting of serial killers Burke and Hare, who dissected their victims for scientific study. In the late 18th century, many sought refuge in the underground bunker, but it was later evacuated when conditions became too dangerous.

The bunker was largely forgotten until 1985, when archaeologists discovered the remains and opened them to the public. It is now a popular destination for those who love to explore and seek a creepy feeling.

London Mail Railway

Until 2003, Royal Mail used underground railways to deliver letters and parcels. The railway was known as the “best kept secret” of the postal service, with more than 220 people working underground every day to deliver mail.

Bank of England

Williamson Tunnel

Known as a hidden maze under Liverpool's Edge Hill, it is believed by historians to have been built by businessman Joseph Williamson between 1810 and 1840.

According to legend, Williamson truly believed that the world was on the brink of destruction, so he decided to build a bunker to protect his family and friends. However, the bunker was later abandoned and fell into ruins until archaeologists discovered it in 1995. Since then, Williamson's tunnel has been listed as a National Heritage site in need of protection.

Clapham Bunker

The Clapham bunker was built in 1944 to protect 8,000 Londoners from bombing raids. After the raid, it became a refuge for 492 Jamaican immigrants.

Clapham Bunker remained largely untouched for decades until 1998, when the National Heritage Council officially listed it as a Heritage Site. The London Transport Museum is working to open tours of the site soon.
