[USED] Subterranean Shropshire
Description
Steve Powell, SB, 128pp
In this book Steve describes some of the mysterious tunnels, rock houses, icehouses, underground follies, Llanymynech Ogof (a Roman or possibly a Bronze Age mine) and a small number of lesser known cave systems. Steve has over a period of nine years visited these sites and recorded what is there with plans and photographs supported by his own artistic impressions. There are however no grid references since many of the sites are on private land and require owners permission to access them. 32 underground sites in Shropshire are featured including the Bridgnorth Rock Houses, Stableford Tunnel and Caynton Temple - an underground folly which is rare labyrinth of tunnels complete with altars and specially carved columns which is truly a strange place to visit. The places he covers are too numerous to list but needless to say it is a book well worth having.
