The path through the park on the alignment of the tunnel. A friend has commented: "Fletcher St Tunnel still exists. A few years ago a mate of mine found the manhole cover, that gave access to it. However in doing so he inadvertently made some of the local youth aware of its presence. Apparently they kept going in, so the manhole cover was removed, and the hole sealed. There will be another access point somewhere, however nobody has yet found it. The tunnel was sealed at either end during the early 1970's, and inside the ceiling is supported by numerous concrete 'pit props' in the same way as the Black Harry tunnel near Clifton is."
