Drakelow Tunnels,Kidderminster (visited 2010) 2013

[klempner69]

Hidden in the slopes below Solcum Aylesbury hillfort are a remarkable network of Second World War tunnels. These tunnels are laid out in a grid pattern and extend over three miles in length. They are the largest surviving part of a wartime complex which was built in 1941 as a “shadow factory†for Birmingham’s Rover works. The purpose of such “shadow factories†was to provide secure manufacturing facilities for aero engines, this would be used in the event of cataclysmic enemy bombing of industrial targets or even in the event of invasion.Visited with Tommo and Engineer.

Well,that was a sample of Drakelow Tunnels,

Many thanks for looking.
