#Paddington Lv4's chambers, originally thought the same depth as Lv3 until our #BigDig. Nov 2013 the top of an arch is discovered. Feb 2015 the full arch exposed to Lv3 floor. July 2016 we reach the floor of Lv4, a cathedral-like chamber, 40ft(12m) high & 60ft(18m) below ground level #photography

descending even further into #Paddington to Lv3, Feb 2013, the infill is still throughout both chambers. July 2014 the Boote chamber is now empty with a ladder for access, but the Lomax chamber beyond is still yet to be fully emptied #photography

As we descend into #Paddington, we enter the chambers of Lv2. In Jan 2013 before work had commenced to empty the infill from within. Followed by Jan 2015, the chamber is now empty, with displays being built for our artifacts #photography

A reminder of the progress made during our #BigDig, showing the before and After images as #Paddington is revealed.

Inside the Mile tunnel in April 2008, the rubble still piled high within the arch before it's remomoval. Then, the same empty arch in July 2013 #photography

The Friends of Williamson's Tunnels have always enjoyed taking part in the excellent #HeritageOpenDays

We are glad to announce that, once again we are taking part in the Heritage Open Day's 2025.
