This will be our 2nd visit to these incredible tunnels that lie deep beneath Fort Southwick. We found paranormal activity of all kinds and we are extremely excited about returning.
The WWII underground UGHQ underneath Fort Southwick was finally closed in 1949, then reopened again by the Royal Navy during the 1956 Suez Crisis when it was refurbished. More permanent use was made of the tunnel complex in the early 1960s Cold War era as the Defence Teleprinter Network of the NATO Communication Organisation and as a Communications Centre - COMMCEN - for the Royal Navy. The NATO function was moved to Northwood in 1968. In 1974 the tunnels were finally abandoned when an above ground COMMCEN was built on the Parade Ground of the Fort.
During the Cold War era Fort Southwick was classed by the Soviet Union as a 'Category A' target and consequently had two 1 megaton thermonuclear weapons assigned to it - one primary weapon and one as a back-up.
These tunnels laid end to end total in length to over 1.5 miles. In these corridors at least two deaths have been registered. With famous visitors like Winston Churchill and King Edward this place was super secure and secret.
