Abstract :
Summary form only given. The paper is a follow-up to an account of life below London finds underground marvels all over England. The author´s fascination with the subterranean began as a kind of aversion therapy. It cites the Victorian coal wagon tunnel running under the centre of Newcastle as an example. Built so that coal could be transported to the city´s docks without clogging up the streets, it remains in good condition.
