Great Britain Oil Mills, Upper & Lower, Dover, Jan 2013

I visited this 3 years back, only had point n shoot camera at the time and hadn't realized that it could do 60 second exposures so have been meaning to go back for a revisit to get some pics, Visited with Space Invader and Dan H.

A brief bit of History ;

These tunnels have served many different purposes over time, undoubtedly as air raid shelters during both World Wars and for storage. Today the lower tunnels are still in use for storage and workshop space, whereas the upper level has not been used for some considerable time.

Most of the tunnel is lined with concrete. The major problem with this tunnel is that it is saturated with water. Several years ago a huge fire in the lower tunnels left the walls greatly weakened.

And for a few Of my Pics

Plan

Dan and Space Invader having a bit of fun

And now for my turn utilizing what Dan had left behind

My thanks to Space Invader and Dan H for a thoroughly good evening
