Underground mine and quarry workings are to be found in all
counties in England. This little-seen and often exciting world has
workings that are different from each other in terms of what was
extracted and how this was achieved. The archaeological evidence
allows us to interpret what was being done and when this took
place. Some places have impressive workings and these have such
things as engine chambers, arched levels, deep shafts, underground
canals, drainage soughs, and discarded equipment. This book
presents a detailed introduction to the underground mining and
quarrying heritage in England. It reviews the many types of mineral
and stone taken from the ground over several millennia and also
looks at the wide range of archaeological remains that survive
today and are accessible to those who venture underground. It is
designed to illustrate the many and varied wonders to be found
underground and give the reader ways forward should they wish to
follow up their interest in particular types of extraction or what
is present in their region.
