I've sent this video to my mum too and will show my aunt who was a child during WWII. My gran and aunt lived in Rochester at the time and my grandmother worked at Short Brothers as an inspector on the Short Sunderland flying boats. She would have been in the factory tunnels at times when working most likely, and almost certainly in the public tunnels if off duty. My aunt would also have hiding in the public tunnels with her, but I'm not sure that she would remember much as she would have been very young at the time.

I visited almost exactly 2 years later & Sam B was there again. I was touched to see the Chris Rayner memorial. He died while exploring almost exactly 1 month from the date this video was posted

Loved playing in those tunnels when we were kids.

@mischef18 7 лет назад

Must be a mile or more of tunnels there bro as you seamed to go on for ever. In the day they would have been a true savior to the locals. Thanks so much for showing. All the best

@TheStwat 7 лет назад

@rosscityofliverpool.983 7 лет назад

Part two was worth the wait, a huge tunnel system and its looking good apart from the mindless writings. Not sure but I did read that some of the tunnels had a shower system built into some of the ladies lavs . Great work as always and thanks.

@waynesmith8287 7 лет назад

Another great video guys, always worth watching, Amazing to think them tunnels stand still in time while the rest of the world above moves so fast. Shame the vandals keep getting in and spoiling things.

@spidermcgavenport8767 7 лет назад

Impressive!

@oldmanhuppiedos 7 лет назад

As a system of tunnels, it is also. So many signs and clues from then. But the tunnels are very long and confusing.

@LeeNottingham 7 лет назад

First time to be first to comment! Nice work as usual. Keep up the good work!

@kernow..exp. 7 лет назад

great video is amazing how much artefact of still in that tunnel system great work chaps

@robbydelson9033 7 лет назад

You guys rock, I'm laying with a neck injury, watching this a good time killer. When will you come to The Netherlands? There must be something to be good enough to see in my country!! :D

@joebrown1382 7 лет назад

The brick factory must have ran 24/7. How do you find your way out, it's like a maze? Amazing construction. Great video thanks.

@ChipGuy 7 лет назад

11:20: Interesting: Black and blue wiring has been introduced in the UK in 1977. So this has most likely been wired after 1977.

@IKS-Exploration 7 лет назад

+Chip Guy Vids parts of the tunnels were used by Blaw Knox Ltd up until the mid 90s

@brianartillery 7 лет назад

Another quality video. That place is immense. Has anyone mapped the tunnels? I ask, only because they do seem to have a lot of curves and bends in them, and don't seem to be on a strict linear grid like other tunnels you have documented, and I was interested to see what the actual shape of them was. It was odd that some parts were full of odds and sods, and other parts were clear with nicely screeded floors. Nice one, gents.

@marty8535 7 лет назад

Did I see a arrow gauge railway in the factory tunnels?

@deanpayne2125 7 лет назад

New subscriber here. Great vids you post. Found the kid you were with annoying to listen to. But can tell you're teaching him the ropes which is kind. Keep it up folk.

@IKS-Exploration 7 лет назад

Thanks for your support :)

@deanpayne2125 7 лет назад

You're welcome.

@byson8653 7 лет назад

Dean Payne I agree the kid is far to annoying to look at never mind listen to hahaha but video was great

@paulkazjack 3 года назад

Each one of those bricks layed and pointed by hand.

@ScanMan79 7 лет назад

Great vid! I was curious about what lighting do you use? Thanks!

@IKS-Exploration 7 лет назад

+ScanMan79 I did a video on my gear some videos back :) needs updating though :)

@raymondj8768 7 лет назад

@fibrodad1354 7 лет назад

huge, very nice.... I live in bootle Liverpool and we were bombed very heavely yet i do not know of any tunnels here. Although there is an underground river tunnel under our street which runs miles and boats. have you been to the williamson tunnels in liverpool which run for miles and miles?

@matts6805 7 лет назад

The seating being destroyed like it has really irks me.

@davidmorris631 7 лет назад

Hello IKS, amazing explore, the tunnels are huge. How many hours did you spend down there? Thanks for sharing. Kind regards David

@trackerwyo2640 7 лет назад

good job BUT I like it with you and one or two of your mates its less like I'm in on the trip when you have lots of people

@Brianthehistorynerd 7 лет назад

Really good stuff Ian. I was looking forward to seeing this one. Keep up the great work mate.

@2011thekaj 7 лет назад

hi ,, can you provide photos of all the tunnels or what ever you can .. Would love to see photos of it all the places in action on one video..

@IKS-Exploration 7 лет назад

+Fading Mist check my mates site out: www.subterraneanhistory.co.uk/?m=1 So many explores this guy has been on :)

@RealJustinCrow 7 лет назад

Was this "cut and cover"? such a complex network with the brickwork as well, I cant imagine it done any other way

@IKS-Exploration 7 лет назад

+RealJustinCrow too deep for cut and cover

@RealJustinCrow 7 лет назад

WOW, that makes it even more impressive. British Engineering at its best :)

@marcusharrison7704 Год назад

How do you get a new let us know

@IKS-Exploration Год назад

This was arranged trip the tunnels are locked and secured:)

@mikegross6107 7 лет назад

I can't imagine how long it took to dig these tunnels, lay pipes and electrical wiring, put in sewers for lavatories etc.! Another thing I can't imagine is BEING DOWN THERE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME in case bombing! How sad humanity goes and for WHAT? A piece of land or to prove I am stronger than you or I am BETTER than you! Sad, very sad.

@ukbushcraft7533 7 лет назад

dude ur videos used to dead relaxing an this is the 1st one ive watched in a while whats happened stick to u an chris

@IKS-Exploration 7 лет назад

+adam b Yeah we have more of me and chris coming soon folk :) sometimes group tour is the only way to visit some locations :(

@ukbushcraft7533 7 лет назад

@MrGuvEuroman 7 лет назад

Ian please invest in a 360 camera so I can look about, and more gets documented, ta 👍

@michaelpharr8343 7 лет назад

That's the fastest way to get people to un sub to your channel.

@MrGuvEuroman 7 лет назад

You just release two vids, I've seen people mount the 360 cam to their original cam..

@bruce.of.Britain 7 лет назад

please stop saying, "forgotten" none of these tunnels are forgotten and these Shorts Bros tunnels were on BBC South East not so long ago.

@IKS-Exploration 7 лет назад

+Bruce Neilson thanks for the Comment

@bruce.of.Britain 7 лет назад

IKS Exploration sorry, your vlogs are great and really interested, just too much emphasis on "forgotten" "lost" "abandoned". Just a little over dramatic. I know I have said it before but some Asbestos Awareness Training would be good to help minimise your risks. All the best. Bruce

@IKS-Exploration 7 лет назад

thanks for your support :) will look in the that :)

@kingjames4886 7 лет назад

I was going to say something... but I've forgotten.

@nickclark6001 7 лет назад

different atmosphere this video, too many people ,too much noise, miss your informative conversations with Chris! But if it had to be a mass tour then a great effort 👍
