We done this last month but with fears of it being re-sealed we kept it quiet until our other friends had been down.

Surrey Deep Shelter IV, was most certainly originally built as a bomb shelter, however it seems that it was rarely, if ever, used for this purpose. There are so many rumours surrounding the place that the truth seems to have got a little lost in amongst them. Its close proximity to Cane Hill Hospital helps to fuel a great deal of them. The shelter may have been used by the Canadian Military during ww II. Later it found itself home to a motor repair workshop and an optical lens grinding company in the 60's. Recently (2007) it has found itself sandwiched between the site offices and development site of the new Coulsdon by-pass and has been capped on more than a couple of occassions.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing! The pics obviously don't tell us, but how big/long are these tunnels?
