Just remembered about these photos, so thought I'd stick them up anyway.

The guilford shaft is a spiral staircase built inside the cliff face at Dover consisting of 214 steps, connecting the Moats Bulwark at the bottom of the cliff to Dover Castle. The staircase is broken up by different levels along the way, including one which resembles a deep air raid shelter.

It's had several uses during its time, including uses in WW2, but it now lies empty and decaying, although it is in very good shape indeed, considering it's not been maintained for years!

This is the part that resembles a deep shelter, although it's no in very good shape.

And just for the hell of it, there's a lot of these down there.

Unfortunitely EH have now done rather an effective job of sealing the place as of a week or 2 ago, as Frostie and co checked it out last weekend and it was no go. :(
