WT Hanley Factory - Northfleet/Gravesend


After we explored the tunnels, we headed over to the factory, hoping to get in after seeing some photos online just a week before. However, after walking for a good 20 minutes and looking for different ways to enter, we decided to call it a bust, as we couldn't find the entrance that others had used before. Nevertheless, seeing the factory from the outside was still interesting.

The factory closed in 2008 and relocated to a new site near London because the company needed a bigger space. It originally opened in 1906 and expanded to Gravesend in 1926. During wartime, it helped manufacture materials such as gas masks and other items. In 1967, the site was taken over by an electric company but was eventually closed down in 2008.
