Shorts Tunnels Elevator shaft - Rochester

Shorts Tunnels Elevator shaft

Date:   April

Location: Rochester

Demolished:  Yes

I don't have much to say about this place, as there isn't really much to discuss. The elevator used to go up to a factory that was above ground, but it was demolished to make way for a housing development. In late 2016, the elevator shaft was filled in to prevent people from entering.

While I was in the old elevator shaft, I discovered paperwork dating back to 1995, which led me to believe that the tunnels might have still been in use until that year. There was also a safe in that location that I always wondered about, but no one was ever able to open it.
