The Hidden Glasgow Forums

came across this hidden beauty on a random poke about the industrial side of whiteinch

not sure wether it has something to do with the war or the old grannery/ships etc

anyway have a look at the pics

foto cred: chedder-ring
















anyone else been down here?

do the pics not work?

I can see the pics fine!

ive been there!

Where is there? I live in the area and cannot fathom where they are, although I have a suspicion.....

What was that in the bucket?

That's what kebabs are made from. *nods*

I've been down similar tunnels in Whiteinch / Scotstoun probably about 15 years ago - I think the ones on the orignal post are along south st closer to the JOrdanvale Ind Estate / towards the Granary.

The ones I was down were in what is now the WH Malcolm Yard between Barclay Curle & First Bus - it used to be occupied by Corus Distribution.

Basically they were service tunnels (roughly 6ft by 6ft although it got narrower in places) with all sorts of electrical trunking/cabinets - i was told they were used to power the huge dockside cranes that used to operate on the quayside when it was a ship yard (the slipways are still in existance), we went down one night shift and spent a good 30 mins walking from one end to the other exploring and dodging several very large rats.

The tunnel was about 3 or 4 meters from the quay wall under with about 3ft of heavily reinforced concrete above your head - there was no openings on they quay wall probably to prevent flooding of cables.

I can confirm that all the electrical gubbins / cabling was removed before Corus moved out about 5 years ago now, and I think the access door was sealed permantly.

where is this, cheesey?

is this the tunnel thats next to the clyde and just south of the whiteinch high flat?? it looks like the same one.
