"Parts of old Dehra remain...
A peepul tree I knew
And flying foxes
In a mango grove
And here and there
A moss-encrusted wall
Old bungalows
Gone to seed
And giving way
To concrete slabs.
A garden town's become a city
And the people faceless
As they pass or rather rush
Hell-bent
From place of work
To crowded tenement."
~ Ruskin Bond, 1934- ~

It snowed for about a minute and a half just as I was getting to this spot. It was a neat snow - light but lively - that probably only got through to me in the woods because of the clearing provided by the creek. By the time I got my tripod set down with a camera it had stopped.

Supposedly of very ancient origin these unique caves were extended in the 1740’s by the infamous Sir Francis Dashwood, founder of the notorious Hellfire Club. His aim was to provide an extraordinary addition to his landscape gardens, no doubt inspired by his Grand Tours of Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Many of his fellow dilettantes were building great Estates and landscaping gardens and temples above ground but no others dared venture underground in this way. The chalk was used to build the main road from West Wycombe to High Wycombe. This also provided employment to the Villagers of West Wycombe following a succession of harvest failures. The achievement is a true feat of engineering and quite remarkable considering they were all dug by hand. You can still see the individual pick axe marks on the walls.
On his return from his travels Sir Francis established the famous Hell-fire Club which subsequently held chapter meetings in the Caves and whose members included Lord Sandwich, John Wilkes and other senior aristocrats and statesmen. Sir Francis later became Chancellor of the Exchequer. Benjamin Franklin was a close friend and visited West Wycombe often.
On entering the Caves, long winding passages lead deep underground for over half a mile, through the great Banqueting Hall and past various chambers. In these you will find scenes with various members of the Hellfire Club.
The final destination is the Inner Temple which is reached by crossing the River Styx. You are now several hundred feet below the Church on top of the hill.
Heller Cabin after restoration at Old Cowtown Museum.
The cabin was built in the 1870s near the city of Elmo in Dickinson County Kansas. It was moved to Cowtown in 2002 and fully restored and opened to the public in 2009.
August 1996 - We explored our new home. Hell's Gate is where the Fraser River squeezes down through a small canyon. It's also a tourist destination and there's a gondola down and attractions there.
On occasion, I will try to digitize some personal, historic photos. Prior to 2002, all my images were done chemically. It will take a while to get a representative bunch on flickr.
