Anyone reading Current Archaeology number 214 (Jan 2008) may have spotted an
item about the Corsham tunnels (Tunnel Quarry and Spring Quarry at Box)
which are the subject of an EH commission for a large scale survey. The
survey is to be carried out by Oxford Archaeology. The site can be found
described in Nick McCamley's "Secret Underground Cities". Whilst the
subject of the commission is primarily the MoD facility there, the item
refers to the well-preserved early 20th century stone cranes indicating that
the remit is wider than just the MoD use. If anyone wants to see the
article, I might be able to send a copy as long as I don't breach CA's
copyright.
