limestone

I got an invite to go to France to see the Catacombs and this Quarry , as I don't drive I jumped at the chance to see it. it was a good weekend everyone was friendly , in fact it seems the French under ground where much better than those above it. Anyway here's some info :) The Hennocque...

very nice little limestone mine in kent, unfortunately it has been backfilled in most places to leave about three foot headroom, which means a lot of crawling\ducking as you make your way round, not really that photogenic and it suffers from a bit of mist in places, further history here...

Early morning start to visit this lovely wee mine, for once access was very easy, parked a short distance away, no steep climbs to get into it, perfect for a Sunday! Very little information on this mine has been found so far, but it was working before 1868 and was still in production in 1877...
