#Underground #WW2 #Tunnels #Dover
Hougham Battery is one of a number of coastal batteries established during WW2 along the Kent Coast. It was built in 1941 and manned by men of 520 Coastal Regiment Royal Artillery although by 1942 most of the younger men had been transferred to field regiments and most of those left manning the guns were elderly, including many veterans of the previous war. The battery was located on the north side of the old Folkstone - Dover Road and it was equipped with three 8″ Mk. VIII naval guns. Like other coastal batteries, the Hougham battery included the for a deep shelter for personnel in the event of bombardment, these tunnels also accommodated a dressing station that could be converted to a hospital if necessary.

Dover has an incredible amount of history to find if you know where to look! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 👍😊
That was another well-preserved location. It's always nice to see places that aren't vandalized and full of graffiti. I wouldn't want to be there in the dark, that's for sure.

Yes not too much vandalism in this one.. We always take spare torches as you certainly wouldn't want to be lost down there in the pitch black! Thanks for watching 👍😊
Another very interesting vlog. Love the abandoned engineering projects. Certainly looked wet down there in places. Thanks for finding this one and posting your explore. 👍🏻 Trev

Absolutely fascinating to see the tunnel, as it's somewhere I would never visit. It's also in surprisingly good condition. Good video.
