User bigfatfrog67 has mapped (part of) Anchor ( in a way that does not
render on osm.org). I think he copied from
http://www.ringbell.co.uk/ukwmo/Page241.htm. There is also some
information on http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/b/birmingham_anchor_exchange/index.html.
I'm not sure how reliable these sources are, and they certainly don't
include the whole system. It would be nice if we could get more
reliable information, but this might be rather hard.

There is also a tunnel linking the Mailbox with New Street station.
This tunnel has been open during events for the public, so for this
one we probably should be able to figure out where the entrances are
by asking people. We currently don't have it mapped.

I also know there are tunnels in Longbridge at the car factory, but I
have no further information about them. See also this freedom of
information request:

For the Birmingham tunnels, this freedom of information request might
be of help: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/underground_structures_in_birmin

Did you have any other underground structures in mind?
