The Box Report - 2011/2012/2013

What's the temperature like down there in mid-winter?

The further in you go (with the exception of The Cathedral and immediate confines) the less it changes. Once you are far enough in it will remain constant 24/7/365.

Awesome shots as per dude! This has been on my to do list for sometime now... Myself, UrbanX and a few others have been discussing spending the night down there so hopefully will get it checked off soon!

Cheers for sharing these!

The temperature in all the Bath stone mines away from the entrances is a constant 50 degrees Fahrenheit or thereabouts,the ideal temperature for storing beer

Nice pictures it looks so familiar the cathedral has not changed much last time I was down there was about 40 years ago

At the end of the drift you reach a sealed steel red door, with a constant loud droning noise coming from beyond. I wonder what could be in there?

...

At the dead end of Wind Tunnel, you reach another interesting red steel door. No noise from behind this one, I wonder what's beyond?

Shhh...

Shhh...

It was more fun when the CCTV and howler alarm on the door worked.

Luckily, there were at least 5 different ways in back then. Avoided!

Unless you went with someone who liked playing chicken with it and kept setting it off, I think I still have a bit of tinnitus from that!

That photo of the cloud in the cathedral has to be one of my favorite photos of Box Mine. Great report!

Well it kinda would given it's part of the same mine complex...

Burlington is part of Spring Quarry which is to the east of Box and adjoined via a few connecting shafts. Hence the similarities

But no-one has ever been to "Burlington" ever.

Honest, constable.

What an impressive mine! You could easily come a cropper without suitable lamps if you came accross that barbed/razor wire! Nice report, thanks..
