Hi all,
I'm struggling to find much on Aditnow and maybe I'm an unrealistic optimist but I'm trying to find some underground mines in Essex that still exist (no I'm not expecting anything impressive).
I'm aware of pillar and stall chalk mines just over the border into Cambridgeshire (in one case only by a couple of hundred yards) but I'm sure there must still be *something* underground in Essex to look at. Also aware of one that used to exist near Saffron Walden on edge of an opencast mine now used as a fuel depot.
I've been hunting a while and so far no luck, if anyone has any tips of where I should research that'd be appreciated thanks. Oh.. yes I'm aware of deneholes and chalk wells but I'm not after those.
Thanks!
