Can believe we walked 12 Miles that day....I packed water proofs and everything, and what happened........It didnt rain...nordid we get stuck so the sleeping bag was pointles!

Nevermind..I look forward to our next meet!

In that case I will!

A lovely view of the bedfordshire angling clubs site.

Minature stalactites, evident of the limestone (an interesting feature)

A small hole in the ground

another small hole in the ground (leading to the same chamber)

view along where the railway once was (rails probably nicked by pikies)

the ladder was attached to the other side of the hole but was broken and filled in when the site was abandoned.

nowerdays health and safty would demand these be covered befor the site was abandoned

the back of the tunnel

first view when tunnel is entered through first hole pictured

veiw of corigated metal roof

view from inside looking out

wheel of unknown use..looks like it could have been a cog or driven a chain

I was amazed at what is left (this would have contained a light bulb

ash and cinders from a steam engines fire box would have been emptied into this. there is now a telegraph pole plated in it

you may just about be able to see the hatch mechanism under the funnel

another light bulb holder..all thats missing is the bulb and the glass

a large fan or mechanism cover


Pictures of the other tunnels may feature later on

 

[Foxylady]

Good to see some more pics. Those bulb holders are great. Cheers Manix.
