Or they wont.. and spend it on themselves..
)i did look behind the vent shaft into a fenced off section that seems only to be accessible from lionel st there looked like some hatch but it was literally completely fenced off ? secondary entrance/exit i presume. essex st i think it was or inge st (minge st) there is another access shaft fenced off, having frequented many buildings and offices around town in one of my previous roles and i cant say i have seen anything to suggest access that far down (including venturing into a couple of basements but these are commercial fairly modern buildings i could guess which ones do) in all honesty with the sheer size of anchor i cant see every point being secure i have discovered a few suspect hatches around the jewelry quarter but haven't tried to access any as that i would imagine would be secure in all honesty i think there is probably many many more access points to anchor than any of us would ever believe but finding a section less secure/no longer in use will be the most challenging part i have been looking into anchor for at least 7 years on and off and can competently say that the gentlemen who has worked there is saying is true the level of security on the vent shaft was OTT but essex/minge st not so much (if its still there) but still super sketchy and i am in no doubt that what he is saying about motion detectors is true terrorist related or theft related they would be a necessity. to the chap saying he has been down there 'unofficially but to cool to share his pictures' i doubt you have even sniffed out an access shaft as i have seen first hand the external OTT security. i do however believe access will be found to a disused section in the future its ridiculously big and cant see them maintaining the entire structure more than likely the outer parts of the tunnel in areas were there not used for cabling or a security threat and are just on maintenance may possibly be less secure if i find out anymore info i'll pop it up. If any one is nuts enough to try any of the locations i have discussed so far i'm happy to show you sometime, anyway for what its worth thats my ten pence and my experience with the mysterious anchor.Fantastic picture, 7 years ago there was a study to see if Anchor could be used for an underground tube system unfortunately, it is underwater hence their (bt) reluctance for people to see it. It's an avowed site so no security issuesRe: Excellent piece & New pictures on BT Anchor Exchange in Birmingham by The B'ham P
There you go mate
Looks like you copied the URL for the picture and added img tags
You need the actual IMG code from the right hand side of the photo
Thanks for the update, on the subterranean Britannia there are pictures of the main areas of the tunnel I.e lift shaft underwater. My wife worked with academics at the university of Birmingham back in 2008 who looked at the study to use as an underground transport system, £2 million later the study concluded the water rising due to various factories closing caused the tunnels to be flooded and unstable,BT were and are trying to sell the tunnels to any interested parties, they do rent one area to back up server silos. i know this as my current role is with a certain government department, I have DV clearance. Thanks for your note
