I love the idea of these tunnels, I'm from east London and know of a few hidden tunnels, one in particular is where they made electronic components. Just under the north circular. Brilliant stuff. ✌️👍
Art 12:00 you have the battery bank, made up of 2 Volt DC cells. Each shelf row is a bank. Each row is 38 Volt DC, and 3 rows together give 114 volts DC (Nominal 110v DC)
This place seems very well preserved. Those guages are never intact. The batteries and other electrical stuff looks as it it would work with some maintenance. Is this just open to anyone?
This was taken in 2017, I saw some recent videos of this tunnel where the batteries were smashed to bits and the gauges were taken off. I think it's now sealed completely to this day.
Just to add the electrical cabinet on the left would have likely enclosed a very large glass vacuum tube that I believe controlled High voltage DC current output.
To answer some of your questions on the dates that you're seeing written down on the walls permanent markers were not invented until around 19:52 which is ironic I suppose when you're seeing 1948 in permanent marker lol
The scale of that bunker system is incredible! With the demolition and redevelopment of Longbridge in the past several years is that all gone now? If so great to have it documented before it was all lost.
Looks to me like whoever owns it discovered the copper thief's were inside and put a holt to what was going on, when the thief's were not inside by blocking up the entrances.
did you see the bricked up wall the other side of the deeper bit of water towards the end? Anyone notice that there were some bricks removed from the top of it also? Possibly more to it further though 👍
FLIPPING AMAZING FOLK , ALL THE ELECTRIC INTACT , AND THE SHAPE IT IS ALL IN WOW FOLK 😲😲 GREAT STUFF BROTHER 🤘🤘
Cheers from the United States! Looking forward to another great explore.

Nice long videos! That bunker doesn’t have many years left in a lot of spots to bad! Super sweet artifacts!
Even the old stuff stays for long as it is dry. Add moisture and corrosion goes wild.
At 11:30 the green box with the instated posts on it is an oil bath capacitor for voltage smoothing.
A boroscope would have been useful. For seeing what is on the other side of those brick walls.
Another great long video. Fascinating space to explore.
Crazy what has been left! Keep up the great work 👍
Well done , looked a proper ordeal getting through all that muck, brilliant video , much appreciated, thanks 👍🇬🇧
Interesting Ian Thank you
Thanks Ian and Chris Always fun
Another fantastic explore not forgetting greetings from Cornwall
Thanks for watching folk

Yeah it’s true sadly I went back in 2018 and it was so sad to see

Ah well I'll be at work for this one I'll make sure to watch tomorrow 🙂 and give it a 👍 up.
Thanks for your support folk :)
That was a quality video! Interesting looking place.
Thanks for watching folk :)
Brilliant explore thoroughly enjoyed this
Great place thx for sharing👏👏

Perhaps they were top secret “hush hush”marker pens retrieved from alien spacecraft 😜👍🏻🇬🇧

Great explore , we love exploring places like this
Wish Canada had cool places like this to explore
It makes me chuckle that every large electric motor you come upon the first thing out of your mouth is to call it a "Generator".
If they stored munitions they more than likely sectioned off areas with mud to prevent chain reactions in emergency situations etc...

Great stuff 👍
Drainage seems too be a real problem I'm sure it was in the 1940s how did they drain the passageways may be pumped.
Maybe the bricked walls are an effort at repairs after collapses?
1:04:06 "some sort of machinery" would be a sump pump. Not a big mystery.
Thanks for your input folk
Toilets were heated as workers used to spend loads of time in thier reading the newspaper and going to the betting office by the cafe..lol
Go prepared..diving gear .ect..
What a bunker, you can only make a long vlog about it.
And then you haven't seen everything yet.
Felt tip pens wern't invented till the 1960's so that 1939 in marker was written after 1960.
You haven't been in them recently that I know
Indeed
woa premieres midnight here lol
Thanks for your support folk :)
@@IKS-Exploration long time viewer!
👍👊😎
Doesn't look 80 years old
The graffiti on the toilet walls is the work of two school girls... caught girls doing similar art in an old windmill !
SHAME ON THEM.
