The silica mine closed recently with the loss of a dozen jobs due to dwindling demand and cheap imported silica. It was originally opened to supply high-quality silica sand for lens optics during the war. The complex contains almost 29 miiles of tunnels, and I've barely scratched the surface in my two visits.
The crushed remains of an Austin Allegro!
Some of the mine is beach-like after the floods
My dog Molly kept getting in my shots. Cheers!
