Saskatchewan in Canada
Canada plays host to an interesting historical tale in the form of the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, which are located in the Saskatchewan region. Built-in 1908 with the intention of having a space for people to live in case they were forced underground, the tunnels were initially occupied by Chinese immigrants, who were subjected to racially discriminatory policies at the time. As times started to change, the tunnels found a new purpose – assisting underground smuggling operations to and from the United States. While the tunnels might not have the rosiest of histories, it remains a popular tourist destination, reminding visitors of a particular time in Canadian history.

Imagining an entire neighborhood below the surface of the ground can be a rather peculiar thought. As our list suggests, it may have happened more times in history than the average person could imagine. Southport’s Underground in England is a perfect example of this, where few residents realise that one of their own streets is located right above another one from the past. As with other undergrounds on our list, a natural disaster led to some out of the box thinking by government officials. Neville street suffered heavily from flooding, so the local council decided to raise the street by building another one right on top of it.
