Bricking it under a bridge
When i was about age 10 , a friend and I used to play on all the building sites, derelict houses and even into the sewers without ever getting into any trouble or bother.
Until a new overpass was being built and we found a great den sized gap underneath one of the newly built bridges, between two concrete supports.
Happily playing away in it one day when all the workers were on another part we didnt notice the construction noise getting closer until suddenly the light that was coming in suddenly went out..
Not wanting to get caught we kept quiet as bit by bit the entrance to our secret lair was slowly being bricked up. We crawled along to a gap futher along that led into a 15-20 foot drop under the bridge into a shallow beck underneath. But we were too scared to drop down so ended up going back and yelling.
The building stopped and some very shocked workers pulled out 2 very scared kids who got a right bollocking. The boss did want to take us back home for a parental telling off too but we ran away.
I had nightmares about it for ages
