Winspit

Destination Purbeck again this morning, this time the post industrial landscape of Winspit. I don't know when it began operations, though until 1940 Winspit was a a stone quarry producing high quality stone for use in important London buildings. Over the years it's been a location for numerous TV and film projects including Dr Who, most recently for one of the forthcoming Star Wars series 'Andor' set before the events of 'Rogue One'. Winspit is a rugged terrain of dangerous caves, mining waste and rocky cliffs. All the works of man haven't been able to tame or take the wild from this landscape, it's magnificent; beautiful on a sunny day like today, awe inducing in a storm, and always atmospheric.
