So, after a night underground to celebrate New Year, a trip around Westwood to blow away the cobwebs.
Pretty well reported on here, but for any that don't know it this Wiltshire quarry had ongoing life post stone production, as a mushroom farm, as a wartime shadow factory for Royal Enfield motorcycles and as storage facility for many of Londons museum/art treasures at a time when that nasty Mr Hitler was throwing bombs at us.
A highly enjoyable few hours in the company of Tommo and D86.
Loading bay (one of a very surprising number) in the oldest workings
Roof collapse from hell....
Cheers for the company guys![Thumb :thumb :thumb](/styles/smilies/thumb.gif)
