Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Saturday Magazine, Vol. 6: January to June, 1835
The existence of a series of under-ground passages, running in the direction of Blackheath to Greenwich, had long been popularly behaved but nothing cer tain was known on the subject until (we believe) the spring of 1834, when accident led to, the discovery. Since that period Mr. A. B. Clayton, the architect, and Dr. David King, have taken an active interest in the exploration of these military stratagems of the middle ages, and, at their own cost, have cleared about 700 feet of the passages, which were partially filled with rubbish.
