AeI gravesend/air raid shelter
AEI or W T Henley where a well regarded cable manufacture based in Gravesend, Kent. During WW2 their input to the war efforts was vital especially with the increasing threat of German mines.
These quite substatial air raid shelters excivated from the cliffs behind where the factory once stood where for the employees to use during the many german raids which often targeted industry.
This one had a pretty sketchy entry, (Check the last photo) it was a tight squeeze followed by a long drop into the darkness!
