Coulsdon Deep Shelter

This large public air raid shelter is one of four which were proposed and built by Surrey Council at the beginning of WW2, the others being at Epsom Downs, Ashley Road in Epsom and Kenley. After the war, the shelter was used by a lense manufacturing company and later as a garage, and most of the internal fixings and equipment seem to date from around this time. The tunnels themselves are lined throughout in brick, and have unfortunately become a dumping ground in recent years.

Visited with Obscurity St0rme and Space invader



















 Good explore and a very nice start to the day!!

    These are great pictures! Do you know if this place is open to the public? And is it privately owned? I'm really interested in using it for shooting a short film.
