Hi there,
I used work at Spring till 1994 when i was made redundent which was crap cos it was a great place to work. I was wondering if anyone has been down there since it closed and if so whats it like. I know the place was full of asbestos and it was floating about in the air as myself and others used to run into the walls which were covered in sheets of the stuff but back then you didn't give a stuff if you were on a fork lift. It would be great to hear stories about the place.
A large stone quarry which was converted by the air ministry during WWII, the quarry housed the world's largest underground factory. Later it became Royal Navy stores and part of the factory was converted in the government's emergency relocation site in the event of nuclear attack. Spring Quarry joins the south edge Tunnel Quarry, it also joins the smaller abandonned Sands Quarry. Read more
