Note:
"But as well as drilling salt for the nation's byways, Salt Union has also found a use for the spaces left over by mining - storing important documents.
A salt mine is clean and dry, with huge caverns carved over time, leaving giant pillars of rock salt for stability," says Ms Moffat.
"With low humidity, no water and no UV light, it's perfect for archive document storage."
Well, there you go. No official word yet from Kew. |
