Visited Finch Foundry near Oakhampton yesterday (really interesting if you like Industrial Revolution stuff, with a talk and demostration.....)

Followed the signs for the car park........

The other 3 occupants of the car had their eyes shut and I most confess to a brief moment of doubt.....half way down as the corridor kinks slightly right and the wall juts out slightly.

But with mirrors folded in, I rekon there was a good inch either side👍

I arrived at Chateau de Creissels today overlooking the Millau Viaduct. Had a similar experience squeezing through their stone gate pillars. At least it was not that deep to squeeze through. That looks quite a daunting car park entrance!

I can recommend varifocal spectacles; just tilt your head up a little to look through the lower part of the lenses and the gap will widen. Works every time!
