Report - Noah's Ark Air Raid Shelter, Dover, Kent - Jan 2009

[pauln]

Another in a seemingly endless list of tunnels in Dover. This one was built during WW2 as an air raid shelter and having entered via a short set of steps is basically a long straight tunnel about 380 yards long finishing in Coombe Valley. These days the tunnel is split into two with separate owners. The lower section still has electricity & lights.

Along the tunnel are short spur sections where toilet blocks would have been - a few are still in place the rest have been ripped out.

You could always ask the owners, that's how I got in. Although the upper end is now inaccessable from the bottom as the two owners have had the 'boundary' bricked-up so to see all of the tunnel you'd have to ask both owners.

Here's a few of my photos:
