My daugter took me up there about two years ago, its completely changed now, the quarry face has been damaged, and its now strewn with rubble, and the old generating station for the WW2 decoy is in a dangerous condition

As far as us kids were concerned they were caves, n all accy called em gamblers caves, hole in quarry they may well have been. but not to kids exploring.
