I completely forgot all about this explore until yesterday and managed to dig out (no pun intended! ) these photos of the clay pit before the excavation and subsequent building of the Eden Project. I thought it might be interesting to show what the site looked like then.
The Eden Project opened in March 2001, and I believe my visit was in early 1996, therefore would have been just before, or even in the early stages of the project, although I wasn't to know that at the time.
I only have a few photos, as it was an unexpected find on the way to somewhere else, and I was more interested in the landscape than the industrial side then. A few more pics in the gallery.
EDIT
Just found out that it wasn't the site of the Eden Project, after all. thanks to Weasel's reply later in the thread. My mistake...sorry about that!
Cheers
