Derby Catacombs

The Derby Catacombs (also referred to as the Guildhall Catacombs) are a series of tunnels running beneath the city of Derby, most notably beneath the Marketplace and Guildhall. Access to the tunnels is available via a back room of the nearby Tiger pub.^[1]^[2]

During the Victorian era, the tunnels were used to ferry prisoners between the police station at "Lock-Up Yard" and the Courts of Assizes, held at the Guildhall. It is reported that Alice Wheeldon (born 27 January 1866) was transported through these tunnels, and locals report her spirit haunts the tunnels.^[3]
