Northfleet Air-raid shelter
Date: April 2016
Location: Northfleet - Gravesend
Demolished: No
We were among the first people to explore a site in Gravesend. It took us some time to find the entrance, and for the first time in my life, I felt scared going through an opening because I thought I might get stuck. However, the entrance was intriguing. Once we were inside, the tunnels were quite clean and appeared to be largely untouched. It was nice to see such a well-maintained shelter.
During the war, the site was refurbished in 1939, and an air-raid shelter was added in Cliffe. German bombers targeted this company primarily due to the power cables and switchgear it manufactured..
