Guest Steve M Posted 18 December , 2003 Share Posted 18 December , 2003 Greetings from the Great White North. While in Ypres in November I was in the cloth hall in the museum and there was a video of a dig going on about a new piece of trench that had been discovered. Is this the Yorkshire trench ! If so can someone bring me up to speed on the discovery and where exactly the trench is ? My brother told me that alot of road works are going on and this is why the trench was discovered, is this correct ! So many questions, are they going to preserve it or just fill it in and put a road over the top ! Steve M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 18 December , 2003 Share Posted 18 December , 2003 Steve, ther's a huge amount of discussion about Yorkshire Trench, with photos, on the forum. Use the search facility to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 18 December , 2003 Share Posted 18 December , 2003 Steve Also sounds like you might be referring to a recent discovery when developing a new motorway. Plenty of information here if you use the search facility. Try "motorway" . John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurel Sercu Posted 18 December , 2003 Share Posted 18 December , 2003 Steve, Chris, John, I do not believe there is a video in the In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres (Cloth Hall) of the A19 motorway extension excavations (by the IAP). However, last summer a glass cabinet was installed with photos and finds made in the Yorkshire Trench Dug-out in 1992. And a nice scale model of the dug-out. And ... a video showing footage taken in the dug-out. There is also a cd-rom nearby about the Boezinge Canal site, the Yorkshire Trench and the Dug-out. But as far as I know the video does not show the Yorkshire Trench itself. Only the Dug-out. Aurel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
