	During the 19th century, the tunnel became home for traders, mystics, prostitutes, animal handlers, clowns, street dealers, homeless, fugitives and beggars. They kept a strict hierarchy in the place: tradesmen took their places at the mouth and made sure the place was free of vagrants and kept the place's sanitation. The homeless and derelict came further with the criminals even further along. Pedestrians were required to pay a penny to pass through the tunnel. At night, the turnstiles were closed but those who lived in the tunnel just climbed over. Due to this, outlaws would often prey upon the residents of the tunnel.
