The history of this tunnel can be found on my previous report of the Westcliff section of these tunnels :- Report - - Ramsgate Tunnel (Westcliff section) Kent - Oct 2023 | Underground Sites

Visited with @Llama and @Stumpy_UX. This part of the tunnel had to be accessed rather boldly so we used some initiative and before we knew it we were in! The further down the steps we went the cooler it got which was a relief as it was hot above ground. This part of the tunnel was a lot bigger than I expected, very clean as far as abandoned tunnels go too. As we were walking around i tried to imagine what it would have been like to live down there for the people who lost their houses to bombs, it must of been hard for them.

We was in there for a couple of hours and got a few photos before making our way out, on with the photos
Looking down the steps

A short walk down to a junction

Some old signs

The sewage pipe that runs through the tunnel

A few of the passageways and steps

A blast from the past

A roof fall

Just past this roof fall leads to a complete blockage that separates this part of the tunnel from the tourist part. All in all it was a good little explore and another one ticked off the list!
Thanks for looking 👍

Always takes some effort to make this one happen. Good work lads. Been a while since I last saw anyone else had done it. Not the best of the sections but always one of the toughest to do without the plod arriving

Cheers obs, we did plan it well to be fair but the thought was always in the back of our minds about the police waiting for us at the entrance lol

Anyone know if these are still open? Eager to have an explore, only just finding out there's so many accessible tunnels under Thanet, thought they'd all been closed up

They have always been "open" but they certainly aren't a walk-in.

Yeah, didn't expect them to be mega easy to get into. Just wasn't sure if they'd been like fully bricked up/welded closed or anything like the tunnels under Dover. Did some digging and got a good idea, gonna take a look soon! Cheers

If your digging then you’ll easily find the entrance mate but getting in is a bit more complicated

Great report mate, might look at doing this one as thinking of doing a Kent trip within the next couple of weeks, is it difficult to navigate?

Cheers mate 👍 No it’s pretty much impossible to get lost in there, if you do a bit of research then you’ll find the survey for it easily enough but you won’t need it while your down there
