Exploring The Haunts Of Victorian Rogues



This is so cool!:
Hidden away somwhere in England underneath a lake lies the fabled underground ballroom, built by a victorian eccentric and his 600 mining men, who dug out the lake, payed for by swindled investors , then went onto ownership of the builder of the Titanic, after its creator killed himself with a cyanide tablet, on hearing it was time to face the music of his debtors.

World famous author H.G Wells based a character in one of his books on the very same man.

The legacy : One of the finest follies on earth, the Underwater Ballroom or more accurately billiard room

Our mission to find, get in and take some photos for posterity and make a clean exit, not an easy task in freezing conditions and relying on a little dingy.
