Of all my years exploring Dover, this is one place that kept evading me, mainly because I didn't know where the entrance was! Oh I've spent many hours wondering around the area trying to find it!
Anyhow, Frosty and co kindly showed me where it was the other night (cheers dude!) , so I was able to finally take some photos of it!
Langdon hole was an underground communication centre during WW2. Sometimes referred to as Dumpy B, purely because it acted in the same role, although it bears little resemblance to the Dumpy level of Dover Castle.
Entrance to this place is interesting, as all the steps are missing, so you have a very steep slope to contend with on entry - not one to do on a wet day!
Anyhow, here are a few photos.
This is the entrance way looking back up from the bottom.
With lots of old metal containers at the bottom
Which leads through this walkway into the rest of the complex
Which looks like this
There's an un-lined tunnel which leads to another entrance, now blocked
Maniac.
