Delving into the underground passages, chambers, cellars, mines, and caves of the British landscape
There are many stories told about secret passages and hidden tunnels said to link our historic buildings. However, almost all of these tales fall into the category of folklore and myth. Yet there are genuine examples of subterranean landscapes beneath the ground and this talk will seek to delve into the archaeology of these very real spaces.
The talk will consider examples such as prehistoric copper mines in Cheshire, the caves riddling the rock upon which the city of Nottingham is built, passages beneath several British castles, chalk extraction pits in the south of England, and cellars beneath both great and little known houses.
