Dear Rick,
Re finding a location, here is an idea.
Find a small old stone quarry (low face and no nasty overhanging rocks of
course!), 'knock up' some timber to form a 'roof' etc. to make it look as if it
is underground, and here is an 'instant' and very safe mine on the surface! -
and you can 'engineer' it to look as you please or replicate a photograph.
The Production Team would I am sure be relieved as it would make life much
easier for them, and I am sure they would be only too pleased to fund the costs
(wouldn't cost that much), of timber/wood & time in return. Re props./roof
timbers etc., I suggest looking for the nearest area where the Forestry
Commission is cutting spruce, and ask the contractors if you can buy some or even
possibly borrow some! - if they know what it's for they might even give it...
Regards. Bernard
