Northfleet Air-raid shelter
Date: April 2016
Location: Northfleet - Gravesend
Public or Abandoned: Abandoned
Demolished: No
We were among the first people to explore this place in Gravesend. It took us a while to find the entrance, and for the first time in my life, I was scared going through an entrance as I thought I was going to get stuck. However, the way in was interesting. Once inside, the tunnels were pretty clean and hardly touched. It was nice to see a well-maintained shelter.
During the war, the site was refurbished in 1939 and an air-raid shelter was added into the Cliffe. The German bombers had this company as a prime target due to the power cables and switchgear it manufactured..
