Box, Browns & C.A.D.

Part 5

 

Ben tries some of the many light switches.

Proof of where we were.

 

This pile of twisted metal is the remains of armoured cables, burnt to make extraction of the valuable copper inside easier. Bloomn' thieving pikeys...

 

This secure area within the district may well have been for the storage of small arms, (guns).

 

The support pillar in the middle was added by the military to strengthen the mine when they took it over for ammunition storage.

 

Metal rail tracks in the floor that ammunition trucks would have been pushed along.

More examples of additional strengthening pillars.

 

Here we are just yards from the top of Farleigh Down Tunnel that we'd explored a year ago, which would have been the route that the bombs took to and from the mainline railway.

 

More air-con ducting.

 

Ben was delighted that these points still worked.

 

Calcite 'straws' forming from the ceiling.

 

The calcite straw above Ben's head is almost as tall as him.

 

All too quickly it was time to leave C.A.D., but this time we avoided the painful crawl and went through Root's secret passage.
