Great article, I have seen documentaries about the tunnels and you have reminded me to add it to my long list of places still to visit.

Definitely worth it - the whole project is extraordinary! Next time I'm in Liverpool I'll try to do the other tour.

I really dig this story. I love the Charles Hand/ball of string account. Wonderful period anecdotes, too. Surely a local caving society could be persuaded to map the tunnels? Amazing piece, thank you!

Thanks James! There have been considerable efforts to map them and the main areas are known, but certainly a comprehensive one is a big challenge.
