[Doozer]

Visited with @Llama @James Cross @Stumpy_UX & @Wastelandr. Thanks guys for a great evening 👍

History
The Royal Marines deep refuge is a multi level air raid shelter constructed in 1938 at the time of Munich crisis. There’s not a lot more info of the history of shelter but the barracks above ground at gun wharf were occupied by the chatham Royal Marines from 1779 till it’s cloasure in 1960.

Those of you who had the pleasure of entering this place will surely agree with me when I say navigating the staircases are certainly testing, especially after a few beers 🤣, we got in and had a good wander round got some good photos before getting out to check on another place before parting ways. Glad to finally tick this one off the “to do” list and done it with some good company. There’s only so many pictures you could take of place without them looking the same so here’s a handful of half decent ones. Done from my iPhone as usual
