Mainly For Brummies But All Are Welcome To Join In The Birmingham Fun & Chat

This is the place where Brummies used to chat about Birmingham old and new along with anything else that interests us.
We have Quizzes, Pizzas, Local History, News, Politics, Wedding Cake, Plum Pudding, Champagne, Easter Eggs and, above all, Respect for our fellow members.
These were dug in the thirties to house the wartime aircraft production at Austin. They were in the news recently when the remains of a works Mini 1275 was recovered from a tunnel and sold at auction.
The entrances to the two main tunnels can currently be seen in this google view.. Tunnel Entrances
Does anyone have their own memories or photographs of these tunnels? In the meantime here are some links to sites with more recent views of these tunnels.
