The steel grating of this barrier conceals an old, disused access tunnel in Boreham Station. Otherwise unremarkable, in recent years some passersby have reported hearing a low whisper emanating from the void behind the grating. Not a single one of these individuals has yet been willing to reveal the precise words spoken to them by that soft whisper - or what might have given voice to those words...
It has long been rumoured that there exists in the vicinity of the station an extensive network of tunnels, built by James Boreham, and stretching from Boreham Manor, connecting to St. Ormund’s Church, and running beneath Boreham Park; it is also said that James Boreham dug these tunnels with the intention of connecting them to older, more ancient structures hidden deep below Horsingdon - perhaps those who constructed the access tunnel delved too deeply into those hidden realms below, and in doing so inadvertantly roused something from its aeons-long slumber.
