Salterhall Quarry looking south from the east bank. |
And looking north. The point where the gao narrows was where the quarried out section was. The tunnel went through the left side of this land. |

1980's map showing the tunnel connecting the quarries before the land between them was quarried out. |
Looking north from above the north end of Salterhall Quarry towards Rowrah Hall Quarry. |
And looking north-west from the same spot. |

Some of the quarry gear near the entrance to Rowrah Hall Quarry at about NY056183. |
The southern section of the water in Rowrah Hall Quarry looking south. The quarried out section can be seen again. |
When we found the remnant of the tunnel it looked like this. Just big enough to see through. |
|
|
|
So we set to work again. |
This one gives it some scale and perspective. |
When we ran outof energy it looked like this. It isn;t as big a gap as it looks. It is no more than 12 inches high. |
