Building record TQ 67 SE 1208 - Norfolk Road Second World War tunnel air raid shelter, Gravesend
Summary
Second World War public air raid shelter for 46 people established in 1939 in an existing pedestrian tunnel connecting Norfolk and Raphael Roads which passes under a railway line. The nature of adaptations is unknown but is likely to have included blast walls at either end. It would have been decommissioned by 1945 and any adaptations speedily removed. The tunnel continues in use as a footway.
