We spend most of our time oblivious of what lies beneath our feet. From water pipes and sewers running beneath our feet to subterranean cavities hewn out of rock by nature and man, they sit there unseen, forgotten, we forget their importance. Caves provided shelter for early humans and as we developed ever more sophisticated technology we emerged from them, but also re-entered, seeking out the natural resources to support the new technology, seeking flint, tin, lead, and whole host of other minerals required to make marvellous new forms allowing us to express ourselves in art and industry. Much of this industry has been forgotten, abandoned as these spaces became economically unviable. Peace now inhabits these spaces, where there was once grime, hard labour, as people eked out a subsistence living.
