This video takes you on a journey through the caves' fascinating history, from their origins as a Triassic geological feature to their use in quarrying and significance during the Second World War. We'll uncover the tales of quarry workers, the strategic wartime role of the caves, and their transformation into a hidden venue for raves. Join me for an exploration of this unique local landmark, where every corner tells a story of work, war, and wild nights.

Thank you! I image the raves here in the dark were fantastic! I've seen some videos but it's not the same as being there! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Narration takes a leap of faith. Naturally formed mines from ancient times. Normal person that think the mine was used before, and not documented, true.

Fascinating.

That’s fantastic and thanks for the insight here. I stumbled across these caves a while ago and found them intriguing and fascinating. I subsequently did a bit of googling but your overview has filled in all the details. I must have passed these caves hundreds of times on the M6 without knowing they existed. Thanks again for putting this together.

You're welcome, glad to have filled in the gaps! Yes it's strange isn't it that thousands of people drive past every day and never give it a second thought!

I'm going back up tomorrow to have a look round before they close them off

It really would be interesting to know for sure what happened here during the war :). The last time I was there was in the 80's, back in my biker days and all I can say is that the ravers treated the place with less respect than we did! So sad to see an old site like that so marred with the terrible spray-paint menace that some people try to claim is art rather than vandalism.

i attended an illegal rave here one saturday night, must have been early 2000s i think brought some memories back that i had forgotten 😁 some graffiti can be really cool, would be nice to see some decent graffiti artists do some work on the place cover the crap up
