Brown Folly mine is a historic Bath stone quarry and mine complex, the larger part being used to store munitions during the second World War. Grahams grovel is a tight squeeze to get into an old tunnel that used to go into the ammunition storage area [districts]. These pictures are a result of...

From the start of July onwards me and a group of fellow enthusiasts set about trying to find some intact cranes within the stones mines of Southwestern England. We originally started our search with the biggest mine we knew of, Box freestone mine. We entered through Jacks passageway and quickly...

First post here, new accout : ) Been heading down to Browns roughly twice a week for about a month now. Tunnels are looking great, plenty of original Graffitti preserved, and very little graffitti from yobs (although that is on the rise). Thanks to all who have put in the effort to preserve the...

Later, sixteenth century travellers recorded quarrying in the area, as well as...

Finally decided to sign up after stalking for several years. Today we decided to explore Browns Folley Mine, as it's just an hour from us. It was breath taking and so much fun. We didn't venture to deep into the mine... But we plan on returning asap. I believe there are meant to be several...

This was the first time I visited a mine and if I have anything to do with it it won't be my last time. I went to see Browns Folly Mine with @Oort who kindly agreed to guide me through the maze of passages. I thoroughly enjoyed myself down there and since I did not have to navigate I could just...
