WT Hanley Factory - Northfleet/Gravesend

Location: Northfleet - Gravesend

Public or Abandoned: Abandoned

Demolished:  Yes

After visiting the AEI tunnels, we decided to check out the WT Hanley factory. We had seen some photos of it online a few weeks prior and were curious to see it in person. Although the factory was located near the tunnels, we couldn't find a way to get inside and searched all around the perimeter. 

There isn't much information available about the history of this factory, except that the company needed a larger space and relocated to a new factory near London. 

WT Henley // AEI Cable Works Air Raid Shelter - Northfleet gravened

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..
