I found out about this location not long ago, on SubBrit, adn a load of information about it is HERE, BUt heres A brief beginning and info about it, taken from the site.
UNDERGROUND HEADQUARTERS & COMMUNICATIONS CENTRE
With the strategic importance of the Dockyard an underground headquarters and communications centre was planned in 1940. Two tunnels were driven deep into the hillside to the rear of the dockyard leading to a series of underground rooms based around a central ring. The new underground headquarters was completed by 1941 with Portland acting as a sub-command of Commander in Chief, Portsmouth at Fort Southwick.
The tunnels are now in a condition that isnt the best, BUT new looking light fixtures are present, and cabling, also, a few fuse boxes, dripping with water, but still look newish.
For a detailed information on acc3ss, please PM me ONLY, as this is in a sensitive area, and I dont want it to be missed.

And on with the pics, theyre not too good, because I was using the flash, and had no tripod.

Our entrance, number 4.




















And thats it for now, ill post up some better photos when I go back with the tripod, and spend longer down there, its well worth a visit, as iv got a feeling that its going to be harder to acc3ss, but still remain beneath the Island for some time.
 
I've moved this to underground sites partly because it is an underground site and partly because it means newbies and lurkers wont be able to see it, and it wont get indexed on the search engines.
 
That's quite incredible, nice set of photo's. What's that foggy/misty-type stuff in the second photo? :confused:
