Part of an epic road trip down to the seaside in Dover.
Entry acess was blatant. We had to do it in front of a LOT of people, se we just had to do it the only way we knew: with confidence, and like we owned the place!
Visited with Nelly, Skeleton Key, Ian, Wevsky, Ginge, Space invader, Trogladyte, Mrs Trogladyte, and probably a couple more, sorry if I’ve forgotten you it was a whirlwind day.
I’ve not managed to find much info on the place, but as it’s called ‘oil mills’ one can only assume that’s what it originally stored.
This is the only paragraph of decipherable history that I found:
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.
Being underground it was obviously pitch black, although where we entered there was a open doorway which streamed in blindingly bright light.
The rooms were huge!
This was my fave shot of the day. It’s a 20 Sec exposure at ISO 200. It was lit with a powerful torch light painting the room, as well as 2 pops of flash in from of me.
As much fun as it was down there a lot of it does look quite samey, so I just chilled, and messed about with multiplicity shots:
Couple more bits and bobs on my website, vids etc. that weren't really relevant / appropriate here.
