The Friends of Drakelow Tunnels

Roger Bryan's Virtual Tour

Continuing our tour we move on to Tunnel 2
. We have walked down Gallery 16 from the Eastern end of Tunnel 1.

It is easier to follow the virtual tour in conjunction with the factory layout plan on pages 10 and 11 of Drakelow Unearthed (Revised Edition), or on Pages 8 and 9 of the original version.
