Cheltenham Gold at the Royal Enfield, Redditch
Long ago, mines were constructed
to extract precious metals from the depths of the earth. These were the days where
land was owned by anybody rather than a specific group, and these people were
happy to rent it out to those who dared to dig in search of a fortune.
Gradually, the minerals were diminished and the explorers left; leaving a maze
of debris and tunnels in their wake. Then came the need for places of dwelling;
and so the land was redeveloped into towns complete with shops and houses. But
with the advance of technology that exists today, did the early day explorers
really empty the mines? Or is there an untold fortune waiting to be discovered?
Many residents have been frantically drilling with metal detectors to see if
they’ve literally been living in a gold mine. But with everyone mining at once;
will the modern infrastructure withstand these amateur digs?
