Monk's Tunnel
Built: 19??
Decommissioned: 2002
For some reason, there was an expectation of underground tunnels and structures at Pyestock. There was
even talk of an entire plane entombed in a tunnel. But I suspect most of these rumours abounded due to ignorance
of Pyestock itself and/or confusion with the Farnborough wind tunnels nearby. Because as we explored
further, it became apparent that most of Pyestock (excluding the partially submerged Cell 3) was
firmly on terra firma.

However there are exceptions. There are two underground tunnels at
Pyestock: one linking Cell 3 with Cell 4
whilst the other (the oddly named Monk’s Tunnel) links Cell 3
with the Computer Building. As both of these tunnels are close to each other,
it made sense to describe both here.
