Langdon Barracks Shelter, Langdon Cliffs





These caves are located behind the demolished warders house at the former Langdon Prison and Barracks. The date of these caves is unknown, they could possibly be World War 1 for sheltering from the German zeppelin bombing.



But they could also have been built in World War two, for sheltering from shelling from the Gun Batteries of German Occupied France.



The tunnel is a common layout, two entrances, and a centre point where they could have bunks and chairs. In my opinion its not a deep shelter, so a direct hit would be bad.
