It is the thrill of mystery that makes a man step into the unknown and discover–if possible–the reason something was even built. For 200 years, Liverpool led its bonhomie life, unaware of the vast network of tunnels hidden underground. From rumors of a secret religious cult to Armageddon, the legends have intrigued the casual researcher but with no clear information about why these tunnels were ever made.
