Longbridge Tunnels - 2013

[Lara]

This was my first proper underground splore, so please excuse the pics, new to the light painting so a big thank you to SK and Baron for letting me pinch their light

Teeny bit of history

Longbridge was where munitions workers produced the Merlin engines that powered Spitfires and Hawker Hurricans used to regain control of British skies in 1940, the factory was built underground to increase war production and be well protected from possible bombing. Hundreds of women was employed at Longbridge during the war when many men was sent to fight.

The Longbridge Mini

We had known there was an old Mini hidden in the tunnels, we all searched and alas we couldn't find it, we search for ages and actually thought we was going mad. Its only when I came home and done a bit of research, i found it...

I had a brilliant time underground and cant wait to get back under, ive caught the bug!

Splored with Skeleton Key, Baron, Trog and Peaches

Thanks for looking in people
