2008 : Monk's Park Mine near Gastard
Image: © Maurice Pullin Taken: 15 Apr 2008
One of a number of limestone mines and quarries in this area. There is a sign at the entrance claiming it is a quarry, OS Explorer 156 gives it as a mine. It could be a mine which has been opened up to be a quarry but I saw no evidence of this.
