Take a Tour of the Underground
Many relics from times long past still survive in Tyne and Wear. The Victoria Tunnel is a popular point of interest that runs underneath the city of Newcastle. During the 19th century, this hidden pathway was used to transport coal in wagons.  It later served as an air raid shelter for local citizens as the turmoil of World War II ripped through Europe.
