Feature labelled E. The arrow indicates where the depression is located.

 During the WWII a series of bombs are known* to have fallen on the line shown here.  Feature E discussed in the tunnel story is shown by the blue triangle.  No-one can recall where bombs were dropped or recall any excavation.  It seems that a JCB used to find out more about this feature might either trigger serious subsidence or cause the JCB bucket to sail aloft.  Then, maybe nothing will happen and we would not be any wiser.

* war memoirs from Robin Freeston.  Unfortunately he doesn't include this stick of bombs but has raised it verbally - it was memorable because the last one fell very near his uncle's house on Towcester Road.

The low spoil heap in Fisher Close at D.

A 1976 picture of a 5 foot diameter hole which appeared at D, dismounting the electricity pole (which has been sawn off). The Stoneworks farm house is in the background. One car is in the tunnel mouth car park.

A patch a ground at A enclosed for safety by the farmer.  It was referenced in a 1922 letter from T W Millner.

A sunken patch about 5 foot across at A1 (in the GF Collection 2002 there is a picture just like this one - with no comment)
