The Accommodation Block, Higher Kiln Quarry, Buckfastleigh
50 years ago this was just a disused farm barn, but now serves as the accommodation centre for scientists working at the Cave Research Centre. A low wing has been built to provide changing rooms and other facilities
The William Pengelly Cave Studies Trust

In 1961 Higher Kiln Quarry was purchased to protect Joint Mitnor cave and the many features of scientific interest in this long abandoned limestone quarry. The following year it was decided to set the site up as a cave demonstration and research centre. The Association of the William Pengelly Cave Research Centre was set up and became the William Pengelly Cave Studies Trust in 1969.
