arthur_of_the_britonsOn the 3 August 2019, fans visited Black Rock Quarry, an open limestone quarry in Cheddar Gorge, where much of "The Slaves" was filmed.
The quarry is on National Trust land.
This was our first view of the impressive quarry face. There were fewer trees around when filming took place, as they filmed it from much further away.
The National Trust sometimes has loose bits of rock assisted in their downward passage, and sometimes the just fall on their own, so the appearance is not exactly as it was in 1972.
Just to give you an idea of the scale of things; that was quite a fall that actor/stuntman Jack Cooper took!

Black Rock returns to normal, as fans depart, and leave the residents in peace!
