HMS Wildfire Remains

Public or Abandoned:  Public

There are two doors located in the moat just behind Mid Kent College. These doors lead to a massive underground complex known as HMS Wildfire. I had the opportunity to explore these tunnels at a later date ( Click here


 It is not widely known what these tunnels were used for. The photo below shows what remains above ground. It is believed that HMS Wildfire was built in 1937 and was used during the war before being abandoned. The site was forgotten about and overgrown until the college took over the grounds and rediscovered the doors.
