I am interested in this underground hospital .. I can't find too much information on it and am unsure if A) it actually exists and B) if it's assessable. If it does exist am sure it won't take too long to figure out a way in (if it's possible). Does anyone have any information on it and whom...

SHORTS TUNNELS KENT : JULY 2021 Attended as a guest upon invite. I will add the History blurb shortly... Please don't comment until after I have written some information about this place. I did manage to film most of it and have a 4 part youtube video covering most of the areas within.. But...

Shorts Tunnel was the first underground location I visited (in 2013/2014 I believe it was) and is one of my favourite explores so when I heard it was open I couldn't resist to go once more. Shorts Tunnels got it's name from the Shorts Brothers, who owned the Shorts Seaplane Company. The...

Now, if anyone browses TheTimeChamber, you'll know that we love a good underground site and this obsession started with a visit to Shorts Tunnels back in 2007. Shorts Tunnel was one of the first sites we ever visited after we had been unceremoniously kicked out of Pyestock back in 2007. Being...

Their is so much history to this location ,I’ll start with the Shorts brothers first . Oswald (1883-1969), Horace (1872-1917), and Eustace Short (1875-1932) The Shorts Brothers founded their company in 1908 after they heard news of the Wright Brothers flight and the opened a factory on Sheppey...

Hello All, looking for some friendly advice... I have been researching the Shorts Sea Plane factory and the tunnels. No I’m not here asking for entry points It has taken me 6 weeks’ worth of Saturday mornings but I have found 4 entrances. 3 are a no go but the 4th is "Air Shaft 1". Air Shaft 1...

Hi there. Brand new poster on this site but a long time lurker! I've been fascinated about the stories and random photos I've seen of inside these tunnels for years, well since I can remember...I'm actually from Borstal and lived here all my 26 years. Anyway, I have never been able to find the...

The Explore After researching possible ways into the tunnel me and some none members headed to Rochester where we checked our possible leads,however after searching for a long time in the rain we decided to call it a day and we were still determined to see the amazing tunnels.The next week we...

Shorts Brothers started off as an seaplane manufacturer on the Isle of Sheppy, but later moved to Rochester in 1913 due to the need for larger facilities. Here they expanded considerably over a 3.4 hectare site. In 1936, they opened a factory in Belfast. During the Battle of Britain, the...

just a quick thread of an explore me and my friend woody went on recently. love this place and the old benches people used to sit on during the bombing really makes for a nostalgic explore, so big down there and plenty to see. bit wet in places and a new wall or two that weren't there last time...

This has been a long time coming, I've wanted to explore this place since I have known of its existence, I have held off on doing a report as every seemed to be doing it all around the same time so wanted to avoid the impression that I was jumping on the band wagon :) , So here goes, First with...

Visited with my brother today following some great info from Vertex, thanks very much for the info! Headed down from Suffolk with everything we needed, this was our first underground visit. Here is some info on the place that i pulled off another webpage, I do not own this content. The...

Been waiting a long time to do this one. Thanks to some great advice from certain individuals and some persistence, it was a great explore! It's one of those places where you feel very aware of how easily things get forgotten over the course of time. Brilliant day out. Pic quality's not the...

Been meaning to post this a while. Shorts tunnels will always be a bit special when I visit it, as it was pretty much the first place I explored and took photos of about 6 years ago. Hearing recently it was open again I couldn't resist a look and the chance to take some better photos of it...
