Scientists Removed Water from an Old British Bridge But Couldn't Believe Their Eyes

There are places swarming with dark secrets, forbidden passages, and hidden rooms. Few people are aware of the existence of these places, but occasionally, someone will accidentally fall across a sealed door or locked room, and the mystery is unraveled.
Approximately 60 miles away from London, there is a beautiful old palace. Future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was born within its walls. In 1768, the insides of the abandoned bridge got flooded. Lately, two of the lakes, the Queen Pool and the Great Lake, have been steadily drying out. Not so long ago, the decision was made to restore the Grand Bridge. The engineers constructed a labyrinth of dams, siphons, and groundwater wells, and as soon as the water level dropped by 6.5 ft, a shocking truth was revealed.

SUMMARY:
- The thing is that lately, two of the lakes, the Queen Pool and the Great Lake, have been steadily drying out. Experts were worried that if the lakes were to run completely dry, the bridge would become unstable.
- But not so long ago, in October 2018, the decision was made to restore the Grand Bridge. Undaunted by the $15-million reconstruction cost, work began to bring back one of the most beautiful views in England to life.
- It turned out that the bridge housed more than 30 rooms, and plaster on the walls indicated that people may have lived there in the early 18th century.
- With the help of a full internal 3D survey, the scientists were able to explore the eerie place. They discovered stairways and fireplaces, chimneys and strange chambers without windows, graffiti which dated back to the 1760s and broken and sunken boats used in the 1950s for reed cutting.
- The New Yorker Hotel in, well, New York is home to countless untold secrets, such as a mysterious Art Deco tunnel. This tunnel, safely concealed under 34th Street, goes from the hotel's lobby all the way to Penn station.
- One of the busiest railway stations in Melbourne, Australia, is Flinders Street Station. What most of these people don't know is that an old ballroom hides on the station’s third floor and is rarely open to visitors.
- Who would think that underneath the elegant Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York, there is a secret railway station! It used to be a wartime escape route.
- Did you know that at Mount Rushmore, right behind Abraham Lincoln's head, there is a tiny room, so small that it can barely fit several visitors?
- Rome is almost always crowded with people. And while more than 4 million visitors come to see the Colosseum each year, very few know that under this world-famous tourist attraction, there is a vast network of tunnels.
- More than 300,000 commuters go through Milan's central railway station, the Stazione Centrale, every single day. Most of them have no idea that behind the closed doors they pass is the most lavish and exclusive room in the whole building, Royal Pavilion.
- Despite the Eiffel Tower's fame, few people know that it hides a tiny secret. It's a cozy little apartment near the top of the tower. Gustave Eiffel, the creator of the magnificent construction, left this hidden nook for himself.

[@AryanSharma-vh7bq]

Wei fanh ong yes bro there are hindu gods status and scriptures under tajmahal, but government closed all entrances to enter in basement, so tajmahal secrets don't get open. Also tajmahal is considered to be built by a hindu raja, named tejo mahalaya, but shah jahan changed it's name & spreaded rumors about it, you might find all these news on Google, in india there was very chaos over this sometime ago, Also basement of tajmahal is 300 years older than tajmahal, confirmed by carbon dating in some country other than India, There are many things but that can't be sorted out because religion chaos.

[@gordonlawrence4749]

The UK is absolutely riddled with tunnels from five separate eras. In the middle ages at the time of Henry VIII loads of tunnels were pretty rapidly dug to connect monasteries and convents over fairly wide areas. I used to live in Bedford and there was a survey of some of the tunnels - about 100 miles worth going from Chicksands to Silsoe, and from the marina in Bedford (which still had some of the walls from the old monastery when I was last there) to both of them and to Clapham convent. Those are just the tunnels I remember reading about. Then in the Victorian era there were loads more tunnels dug as service tunnels for underground railways (a good deal of which were not completed in provincial towns) and sewage systems as well as some from one important government building to another. WWI saw yet more tunnels for transfer of munitions etc. WWII saw another tranche of tunnel building for transport of both things and people as well as pipelaying for our national fuel grid (a network that distributes fuel to the RAF and airports all round the UK). Then of course it really got going in the cold war. I'm surprised the whole of the UK is not hollowed out completely sometimes.

I so love this, totally the truth. Even ancient Greek and Roman tribes built right over the top of earlier civilizations in their country. Dig below many and archeologists have found former remains of even earlier inhabitants. Hints of who came before by centuries! England and a lot of European others are known to have buried whole city remnants, that are still intact if you go through the blocked tunnel entrances to under the modern city. I freaked watching the documentaries and shows on it. Travel channel actually covered a lot of them years ago! Unfortunate that we don't have access, as the general public, but understandable.

The ballroom in Flinders at station is actually closed due to structural issues, including water leaks, weakened walls/beams and possibly asbestos (I can't personally confirm the asbestos though) in the walls/roof, my grandfather drove the metro trains (and state trains) most of his life and would tell me about the the stations he had visited, however there has been numerous occasions where plans to fix it all up were made but never followed up, I assume if asbestos was involved the entire station would have to be closed down until it was fully removed and the entire station deep cleaned until all asbestos and traces are gone
