Folkestone Warren Drainage Adit (Historic Document)

At the Folkestone Warren there are a number of drainage adits tunnels. The tunnels help the natural springs flow out onto the beach, bypassing the Folkestone to Dover railway lines and reducing the risk of landslides.

The tunnel itself is in good shape, having been relined in the '70's with a prefabricated corrugated and galvanized steel lining reminiscent of the wriggley tin linings used in the military deep shelters. The tunnel leads back under the railway line with a concrete section where it goes under the actual line to a sleeper dead end. There is a continuous small stream of water running out along the tunnel from this point.
