Melvadius Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 As part of the Nottingham Caves Survey the University of Nottingham is currently carrying out an extensive laser based survey of the medieval and earlier caves beneath the city. They are trying to map and record over the next two and a half years many more than the 450 caves already known about int he area. The very latest laser technology combined with old fashioned pedal power is being used to provide a unique insight into the layout of Nottingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I really enjoyed reading this, as I've been to Nottingham's famous sandstone caves. The (purportedly) oldest pub in England is Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, so called because it was said that the Crusaders stopped there for a last pint before heading off to the Holy Land. I've had a pint there, myself! I'll have to show this article to my man, who is from Nottingham. -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 This project has moved on and there are now two recent articles on the BBC (Nov 2010) as well as a website which is dedicated to publishing additional results from the survey as individual cave recordings are completed.
