Tunnel under Bothwell St???
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2004 8:06 pm
Has anyone ever worked in Dial House on Bothwell St? For those who havn't, it's at the western end of Bothwell St, the last building, just behind the Eagle Building.
Anywho, It was built in the late fifties for BT (still part of the GPO at the time), to house the central processor for the west of Scotland (probably just broke the DPA for tellin u' that), and is totally fortified!!
All the old engineers and operators used to talk of the tunnel in the basement (thats three basements down). The stories went that they were part of a network that were built leading to a bomb shelter under George Square.
Does anyone know of other "cold-war tunnels" under the city???
