Scott Hawkins has been documenting, cataloging and performing at Sites of Special Sonic Interest across the UK.

The interview with local historian Jan Crowther is part of the BBC Look North programme’s Abandoned series with Matt Richards.
Matt was recently in touch seeking information for a proposed broadcast about Drewton tunnel on the old Hull & Barnsley Railway.
