Thanks for looking through your indexes
The only information I have is that a Gilbert Talbot, (the chief road
surveyor in 1954) said that an underground passage "half a mile long" was
found in Almondsbury. This information came from a lady in the village
several years again who also said this was written up by Barbara Joseph (nee
Carbonell ??) in the "Devon Transactions"
There was definitely a Barbara Carbonell writing in the Transactions of the
Devonshire Association in the late 1920's/early 1930s as a search of the
association's website shows (See below:)
Nothing there about Almondsbury (I expect the website info is the same as
the index items) but she may have done something like a "letter to the
editor" which wouldn't have her name or "Almondsbury" in the title nor
perhaps appear in the index.
