Deep, cold, and black as death down there. On a warm day up top, I could see my breath in the torchlight down there. A few times, I would switch my torch off, just to allow the sheer underground darkness to overwhelm me. Unsettling, but cool.

One of the many long-abandoned chalk mines in Norwich. Disused since the end of the Second World War, some go back to the twelfth century. Apparently, this mine was the last to be discontinued.
