There is a maze of passages under the city of Chelm (pronounced Hewm) which date back to the 16th century. The workings are on different levels and frequently broke into adjacent workings. The result is a confusing labyrinth of passages extending to 20m below the earth's surface. There are permanent exhibitions of archaeology and chalk mining. Theatre performances, musical and cabaret shows are put on for special occasions. Text by Tony Oldham (2002). With kind permission. |
