Intro: I have been interested in photography since the 70's after getting a job in a photographic dealers. In the 80's I combined my hobbies of going underground in the local stone quarries and photography to record the underground history of the area around Bath. After leaving the photographic dealer in the early 80's to join a friend quarrying Bathstone I have worked in various quarrys including an underground museum in the largest WW2 ammunition depot. And now nearly 30 years on I still work underground now looking after a once top secret nuclear bunker that was designed for the government to control the country. Taking photos when I can above and below ground and still recording the quarries with plenty more to do. Thanks for sparing the time to look and read.
