I can have a look into that it is a bit of a mystery of were it goes and comes out I think some of it does run in toll end I will research it 👍

@@cjcadventures Cheers Carl I think the scorse starts in Oldbury but it runs into gt Bridge as well ! But it's this local bit I'm interested in as my neighbour has a storm cover in his back garden supposedly that has access to the underground section ?

@@rayblackford your welcome I think there is a part of it were the triplex foundary used to be but I will take a look into that 👍

If you think what the council did to the shops and pubs in Owen street knocked them down to build houses they really should have replaced them with update shops very bad planning involved 👍

@cjcadventures yeah looks shit now. It's the same everywhere you go now, dudley towns the worst totally reckt it.....dudley council am shit

Glad you have enjoyed Tipton it has very interesting history there is 2 Videos available on my channel of the black country living museum hope this helps happy travels and thanks for watching 👍
