    it`s only the opening that`s built like that though, inside it`s really rough and jagged, probably is something really boring though :-(

    it is now because the quarry is full, but years ago it was way too high up in the quarry, think the quarry was built about 1900, not sure when the tunnel was built, was there any houses where the quarry is now ?

    old man who used to carry rabbit around Penzance

    does anybody remember that old man who used to carry a giant white rabbit around with him in town ? I was only a child but I can remember he was always in town walking around with a huge rabbit in his arms ::2:

    it`s quite narrow and the ceiling is quite low but I think this is because there is a lot of silt and rocks built up over the years on the floor if it`s the one I`m thinking of I think that building was to do with the Quarry workings, is it a smallish stone hut ? they used these to hide in...
