Finaly got `round to visiting these caves near Stone.:) The caves were first used to mine sandstone to build the nearby Trentham Hall at Trentham Gardens and later as an ordinance store during WWII.Records show they are 400+ years old .
Advance apologies for the photo quality as ive only got a cheap cam:( so i couldnt get any of the inside .

Another place I missed on my hols in Staffordshire. Nice find though.
 
Cool find. Shame the photo's are so small. Thanks anyway.

I cant work out how to enlarge the photos :mad: i use flikr and have tried to scale them up but it doesnt seem to work, any ideas where im going wrong:confused:
 
Are these at Kinver Edge or at another location? They look very similar. Love caves like this...a great place to chill. :mrgreen: Nice photos, btw. :)

Thanx :mrgreen: These ones are are inbetween Stafford and Stoke-on-Trent just alongside the M6 , a small village called Beech , bugger to find!:)
 
Worked out how to enlarge my pics , you can put your magnifying glass away now!:mrgreen:

Nice find. Reminds me of Howns Gill quarry with those bord & pillar workings. Do you know how far it goes in?
 
It certainly is more interesting. We dont have many quarries like this up here, most are open quarries.Thanks for posting that plan its very interesting.
