Visited Monkton Farleigh at the weekend & found a few entrances.In one we found some steps & nearby a handrail but couldn't seem to square these up with the features marked on our map.Anyone with a little more experience willing to take a trip up there with me?
Thanks to everyone who replied to my last post!Paid another visit to Brown's & this time managed to work out which entrance I'd found & where I was,just off the Main Pasage.There are some new clearer arrows in blue which seem to point in the right direction which is nice but the hand rail which was already down appears have been knocked about a bit more which isn't.

I am the chairman of the Valley History Society at Rhydymwyn which you can check out at this address whttp://www.rvsweb.org.uk/ourhistory.html
The tunnels here were run by Corsham and all of the drawings were removed. I have a list of them dated 1975 at a Corsham address, can anyone help me in locating these? Rhydymwyn is also listed in the Cabinet Office docs in this context
Browns Folly Mine is an average sized Bath Stone quarry which was originally part of Monkton Farleigh Mine however when the War Department converted part of the quarry in to an ammunitions store they separated part of the quarry which is the area now known as Browns Folly. Read more
