Thanks for the recommendation Alan!

Frittenden has many treacle mines - traces of them can be found in various fields and gardens, and there's a particularly good one at the back of the village hall. I can't promise you'd easily find one on a dark night in December, though there may be a local or two who could be persuaded to tell a tale or two...

We live in another village nearby, but it doesn't have treacle mines, though I must tell you that the soil can be very treacly at times.
