@Bernard or Roger, did any of you work the tunnels from Victoria P.O. to the Big Top P.O.? If you did, can you shed any light on the size/width of the tunnel? Also, apart from the tunnel from the new street platform to Victoria P.O., were there any other tunnels?

These? Before one of the numerous fires, these used to grace the side of the building but now lay on the first floor.

before the council got wise to an entrance the homeless used to use, I took some pictures inside this building, it even had a BOAT inside!! (pictures from April 2007) It has since been bought by Birmingham College of Food. See the rest here...

apparently before the fire happened security were non existent but have since been tightened to what it should have been. the insurance company have been in touch with members of 28dayslater to ask for pictures of the site before the fire as they are checking if it may be an 'inside job'...
