Abandoned Creepy Grain Fort Tunnels

This is part one of a mini series with ‪@IKS-Exploration‬ at the Isle of Grain.
Grain Fort, dating back to 1861, and consisted of a polygonal earthwork around a central semi-circular keep. Taking seven years to complete and being altered in world war one and extensively modified in 1940 with the threat of Nazi invasion.
This aerial photograph from 1940 shows the main keep in the shape of a capital D and the new gun emplacements on the polygonal earthwork.

The fort was abandoned in 1956 at the Government’s decision to abolish coastal artillery in favour of Missiles the V Bomber Force.

The fort was demolished in stages throughout the 1960’s and little on the surface remains, however, below ground, the tunnels and magazines partially remain. We are going to enter the tunnels which joined the Southern Gun Emplacements and view the magazine that was demolished in the 1960’s.

The tunnels are long forgotten and are rather creepy. Definitely not a place to explore alone.
