Visiting here after exploring the W T Henley building. Its a good 2 in 1 explore :P
Its nice to see somewhere that's still relatively clean and untagged. Although it will be long till the wrongun's start to find their way inside and ruin it...
History
Not a great deal of history exists about these tunnels. They were used as storage for the old W T Henley/AEI cable works, nearly all of which is long gone. They were also used as an air raid shelter, notable for the amount of First Aid Room signs.
There a good thread about it here:

The Explore
A nice easy explore. Although shortly after we entered we were joined by some curious teenagers that we bumped into in the W T Henley building. Armed with just a pound-land torch and an iPhone light, they didn't stay for very long...
Its all very clean and modest. Lots of nice original signage and tunnel numbering mean getting lost is impossible.
Lighting it proved to be a little tricky as the white walls made overexposing the image a problem.
Overall a nice set of WW2 era tunnels that still are comparatively clean.
