520			_aDerelict land can arise from many causes, one of which is the presence of old limestone mines at a shallow depth. Invariably, the appropriate action to ensure stability is to bulk infill at great cost, but a combination of circumstances and events has led to the successful investment of capital in one such limestone cavern in an alternative to conventional ground stabilisation. The Singing Cavern Project has involved the construction of the first canal tunnel in this country for more than 130 years and the stabilisation of a limestone mine cavern, so facilitating access by passenger canal barges into the cavern; one of the West Midlands most successful tourist ventures.
