Hello strangers, I have come out of exploration semi retirement for this permission visit via Subbrit to the Regional Seat of Government Number 9, AKA The Rover Shadow Factory, AKA Drakelow Tunnels.

Visited with Maltonian, who did all the driving, what a top chap!

History of the complex is here:

Thats a bit nice! Reminds me of years ago we had one of those telephone switchboard things on the stairwell of a college I went to. I wonder what happened to that?
 
Was good to have you all down, everyone respected the site and we (finally) accounted for everyone at the end of the day (pesky people going off for a wander outside meant I jogged round the complex shouting 'hello' all to myself lol).

We are looking to have an open day (guided) in the next couple of months.
 
What a great place, brilliant shots. Thank you TK421 , Can't believe how tidy that place looks, it's as if someone goes in there n sweeps the floors lol.

You laugh, but on the work parties, I am usually the one with the shovel and brush!!

BTW, don't forget Open Day on the 30th of june, for more info www.drakelow-tunnels.co.uk
