corsham

I was lucky enough to have a quick sprint around here early January, i kinda wish i took the big camera and not a point and shoot but didnt really want to hang about down there . So much to see down there really and i feel lucky to have seen the place. I have been told the site is now secured...

A mini-report to compliment a thread posted earlier today by @Thumper discussing the combination lock code to access this site. For several years now, there has been an arrangement with locals to access the site. Access is for dog-walking only and no access is allowed into any of the buildings...

This is my first report so if I do anything wrong or something let me know. History Monks Park quarry is an underground bath stone quarry just south of Corsham in Wiltshire. It was opened in 1886 by Issac Sumsion. Like many quarries in the area at the beginning of WW2 the government took...

The leafield underground workings were originally part of the Monks Park Quarry and were used for mining Bath stone from around 1886 with what is now the leafield site becoming known as western monks park. In 1914 the mining operations stopped and the area lay dormant until it was taken over by...

Hey all, I have allready covered Copenacre underground in another post but it wouldnt be right to leave out the badly trashed above site, The surface stores and offices remained operational until about 2009. The surface elements were for Joint Service use rather than just the Royal...

Exploring Copenacre underground wasnt planned and purely by chance on the way to another area of corsham... Copenacre started life as a bathstone quarry that had been quarried for it's stone since around 1850. Quarrying stopped sometime in the early 20th century and in 1940 with a need for...

Well its been a while since my last post and thought it high time for another, especially as I feel my photography skills and equipment have improved since the last one! whilst I have been out since I got my head up my arse about bodmin BT radio station and ended up formatting the memory card...

Pictures are from back in 2014 so apologies if this has been done to death (i literally have over 50 reports i could upload but for now ill do bit by bit) anyway liked walking around this place until a group of lads showed up so i hurried my way around and got out as quick as i could  History ...

When Copenacre was originally explored back in 2011 i narrowly missed out on getting down there for a look myself. I think back then, with the epic explores of Spring still fresh in my mind it seemed like a little bit of a let down really. The live quarry next door were using the navy stores...

Elm Park Quarry, Corsham, Wiltshire. Been looking at this one for a while, and along with Lenston, devised a plan to have a bit of a closer look if you know what I mean. All ran smoothly, but should mention that it is a live site, with the mine office diary updated daily including the day we...

Please see Part 1 first. Brewer's Yard I must admit, when OT took me to the slope shaft for the first time, and said 'crack on then', I genuinely crapped myself a little. I was staring into a dark void which had no visible stairs, ladders, lifts, escalators or even handholds. Then getting to...

Hi All, Let me start off by saying that nothing here is new, and you will most likely have seen most of this on here over the years. Background info is minimal, as it has been covered a million times. I have decided to include my own thoughts and feelings to each site instead. All pictures...

Burlington. Does it really need an introduction? Does it really need another report? Probably not, but fuck it you're going to suffer my take on the place, because personally I can never see enough pictures from here and well, it's been a while since I posted anything. There are some places...
