Shafted.

#MonoMondays

 

Looking up in The Grand Shaft, Dover. A great Spring day out adventuring with some good friends early last year : )

 

The Grand Shaft is a unique triple staircase built in 1806-1809 to provide a shortcut for troops from the Western Heights to the town. It has three staircases of Purbeck limestone, which wind clockwise, one above the other, down a central brick light and ventilation shaft lit by an occasional window. At the bottom the three staircases meet in the sloping corridor which leads to Snargate Street. There are 200 steps in each staircase separated by several landings.

 

This is also one of 2 images I have entered into my first camera club comp. Two of my mono images will go head to head against other members, including my uncles! judged by an external judge, the one with the least points has to by the coffee! :P Hoping I don't get ripped to shreds too much! :P
