Inside the abandoned tunnels and vaults under famous Liverpool street

The ECHO has taken a look inside the warren of abandoned tunnels and vaults that run under one of Liverpool's most famous streets.

Underneath Castle Street are long abandoned spaces that could be transformed in the near future after two historic bank buildings were acquired by property investment firm JSM Group.

It's said that one tunnel, running under the former NatWest Bank building on Castle Street, connected the major banks of Liverpool's financial district during WWII. If one building was destroyed by bombs, any money and valuables could be easily transported to another bank underground.
