Description:	London Road (C) Ian Capper The first building on the right forms part of the Red Cross Inn (see <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/820860'>TQ2550 : The Red Cross Inn</a>). The remaining buildings were built around 1900, to replace some earlier which had partly collapsed in 1860 into a system of caves that riddle this area (for example see <a href='http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1091358'>TQ2550 : Entrance to The Barons' Cave</a>). To ensure that they were sound, they were built on girders. In the 1970s/80s one of the premises was occupied by a wine bar called 'On the Rocks', with a seating area in one of the caves below. In 1987, London Road was closed while work proceeded to stabilise part of the cave system by filling them with sand and concrete.
