Afternoon all,
As the title says, I have come across a few caves that have the remains of bell/telephone wire in them leading from the surface inwards (off the top of my head Dow cave, Darnbrook pot). What is the reason for this ? There seems to be some considerable effort involved in placing these particularly in Dow cave where it has been placed at ceiling level. What is or was the purpose of this?
