The old Trentham Tunnel system, photographed in 2007, that stretched under the main Austin Rover car factory in Longbridge, Birmingham, UK. It is 386 meters long and stretches from Lickey Road over to the railway on the opposite side of the factory. In WWII it was used as an air raid shelter and a makeshift morgue. After the war it was used to move prototypes without being seen and to store vehicles before a large fire hit it in the 1970's. It has since been sealed shut. It is flooded in many parts and used to contain a Mini 1275 GT with only 11 miles on the clock until it was removed in 2012.
