“Carriere Suzanne“, Northern France, an abandoned World War 1 underground hospital established into a giant limestone quarry. One of the most beautiful places Marc Askat from 442 – Explorations has ever explored. Argunners Magazine presents Marc Askat’s photographical journey through “Carriere Suzanne”.
We’ve received an e-mail that gives a little more information on this underground hospital: “Col. Thompson, the British Doctor who set up the hospital in the caves at Arras, is the grand-father of a resident of Grampound in Cornwall UK.“, according to Liz F., Grampound with Creed Heritage Centre.
Finally I am able to announce where this is located.. The place is called “Carrieres de Montigny”. You can find their website here:Â https://lescarrieresdemontigny.fr/.

Dear Geraldine, it will be in the future. Thank you for your comment.
Amazing, what else is out there waiting to be found, great pic’s btw.
Thank you! Especially Marc Askat for his photographs and allowing Argunners to present them to the public.
Hi Neil and Lee, this was found by the end of the 90’s and the place is currently under renovation, that’s why we can’t reveal the location as the site is still open to all winds, and we need to pretect this place against degradations and stealing, hope you will understand, have a nice day and thanks for your comments 🙂 !
Where is it please
When was this found?
