An abandoned villiage and quarry near Princetown on Dartmoor. Pictures taken earlier this year just as the last of the snow was melting.

Hello Simundo. I also live in Devon and have a special interest in all things mining. ;)
 
Love this! There's something about Dartmoor that's so otherwordly, and your pics have captured that nicely, Simundo. And I'm mad about quarries and abandoned villages so this ticks all the boxes. :mrgreen:
Agree with FieldyM, though...a potted version of the history from the links would be good. :p:)
 
Those photos are beautiful, did you use film? If you used digital, they are very well processed. Nice work :)
Looks like a nice place.
 
i have to say that i agree with Foxy, you have captured the feel of the site beautifully... same bout the dates being on there, but other than that a nice report simundo
 
Yah nice one Simundo. Just watch out for the date and time on the shots mate, that aint allowed on the forum, I made the mistake ages ago!:)
 
Very nice, if I remember rightly you can find stones that were made for London bridge cut and shaped that were never used at Foggintor quarries, I think that’s the one.
 
Makes me so proud to call Plymouth home - thanks for sharing those pics, they're great. I love all of those old crumbling buildings all over dartmoor. There are some great ones just up from Burrator. And Grimspound too - that's pretty cool. Has anyone documented that on here? Perhaps a Dartmoor thread is called for!

I posted one on the South-West forum when we had area forums last year. It's an amazing place and it would be great to get another thread going. I don't have any explores from there myself...I just posted up a few potential leads then threw it open for anyone else to contribute to. Any takers? :mrgreen:
