It had been a couple of years since I last visited this place, It was originally supposed to be a quick recce to see if it is still accessible, I couldn't resist the temptation to take a few photos whilst here, although a return visit is needed.
I have to say I have put on a few pounds since my previous visit and it was a sqeeze to say the least!
It had also been raining quite hard and it was also very muddy, I was covered in the stuff before I even got in.
A bit of History:
Dodgehill, one of 3 deep level shelters which form a vast network of abandoned tunnels beneath the streets of Stockport, which is located 6 miles outside South Manchester.
In total there are three remaining underground shelters in Stockport:
Chestergate which is situated in the town centre and was the largest accomodating upto 4,500 people.
Brinksway which is situated just outside the town centre and Dodgehill which is the smallest and could accomodate around 2000 people.
Chestergate has been re-opened in recent years as a tourist attraction, the other 2 were sealed after the war.
I will post more photos up when I have once again re-visited this wonderful time capsule....ENJOY!
