Monkton Farleigh Ammunition Depot and Mines

Part Three

 

Inside the mine. The roof was propped up with very rotten wooden poles, that in a lot of places had just crumbled to the floor.

 

Hardhats were essential as there often wasn't much clearance.

 

A mine cart.

 

More decaying roof supports.

 

Ben was delighted to discover these mine cart tracks.

 

Having a rest before turning back.

 

The sheer size of the mine was incredible.
