SECRETIVE Government Tunnels FEW HAVE SEEN under Dover - The DOE
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 04. 2022
- The tunnels, located behind a quarried chalk face in Limekiln Street in Dover, are early 19th century in origin and were reputedly built by Napoleonic prisoners of war using earlier lime workings. They would have been built to provide storage, and were linked to a section of the Oil Mills tunnels to the west. Some of the brickwork is of a very high standard, particularly to the vaulted tunnels set back from the cliff face and to several domes which may have been rooflit originally via oculi
Within the main tunnels, steps lead down to a bricked up entrance to the harbour railway tunnel, beyond which a platform is believed to exist. The access passage was reputedly built during the Second World War to allow casualties to be clandestinely brought in from ships arriving from the continent. It is not known if this ever happened, however the tunnels were used as a public air raid shelter during the war, and reuse was planned in the early 1950s in the event of war with the Soviet Union.
The current name comes from a 1970s fire brigade plan and the origin is unclear (a link with the Department of the Environment has been suggested based on the initials).

In all honesty Matthew I just binge watched your exploring for 3 days straight and still going. Your humour and insight and your historical knowledge is fascinating. Your uploads should be on the national curriculum and shown in classrooms, so the children of today can understand the past that is vastly disappearing. Kudos to you and your fellow explorers 👍
not so sure on the child friendly aspect...
@@twoseventhree in what sense?
As I watch you climb thru all these holes and tunnels, I like to imagine each spot I would become stuck and need emergency Service to extract me. There, there, definitely there... Thanks Matt!
Me too, with my waste line. LOL.
Thank you for this coment, you are reading the mind of so many of us...
Every time I go in a cave I think about the nutty putty cave disaster.
@@nickauclair1477 don’t dive into an opening headfirst like that daft guy.
@@nickauclair1477 arrrghhhh yeh
One thing that peaks my curiosity is a walled up section lol Makes me want to smash it down to see what's there
There are a lot of old war tunnels in the UK. Some have been bricked up because they haven't been maintained and some areas are not safe.
I agree
@@kessiawright1710 Or that's what they want you to think.
Wow, I just loved seeing these secret tunnels. Think I would be too scared to go down them in case I got stuck or they collapsed. Thanks for taking us along. X💕
Wow Matt lots of crawling, climbing and tunnelling. Think I remember Ray Alex and Steve doing this explore. You did well Matt to get round, nothing seems to phase you. Enjoyed that hour and a bit thank you x
CRAZY!!! Can't imagine how much manpower it must have required back then to dig/chisel and mason all of that. Holy cow!
ja kada vidim ovakve rupe u stjenama promislim,koliko vremena je netko potrošii da izdubi ovako nešto a nepotrebno.
That brain texture looks like the original chisel /pick axe marks from the time those tunnels were originally hacked out. Just incredible anyone would spend years digging it all out. Wow
Makes you wonder if there isn't more to how this all was made. Once you see things in a certain way...it can't be unseen
more to the story than digging/chisel.
@@buzznitnation1305 aliens???? 😅😄
Glad you made it...we got busted before we got far at all 😢 glad to see whats there now 👍 nicely done 👍👍
This is the BEST explore I’ve ever seen!!
Amazing guys thank you 🤩
Amazing explore guys! It’s incredible all that was chipped out by hand!
Always seen all the openings in the cliffs of Dover & wondered how much more there could be that I couldn’t see!?
It’s quite surreal to drive along the foot of a cliff, too look up and notice gates and doorways in the side of it really high up!
I just hoped over a fence and found a tunnel entrance by chance while trying to get a pic of the edge of the cliff and someones dug round the barrier to stop people getting in so we went in and had a little wonder. But me other half was waiting outside so had to leave. Went to some really sketchy places in Dover too
Awesome video mate !! I just sat at my favorite restaurant in America and watched this whole video. Lol.
I'm knackered just watching this setting at home ha ha great explore
Train was quiet as its electric - the two rails in the centre between the two tracks are power rails. Touch them and you light up like an xmas tree! Another great explore Matt
That looks like an ancient tunnel network to me. One of these what connects continents..
Your blurring it out to stop the dingy boys hiding up there .
This one set my claustrophobia right off! Great explore, Matt
I think that's my limit anything narrowed you have to belly crawl and I'm out 😅
So many abandon tunnels…and we struggle with housing smh
Quite a good video to watch when the boss isn't looking and pretend that you are working on the computer.
Do your job Properly, the Boss is always looking!
Rebel
This is why I love working from home : )
Fair play Matt, with the travelling, shooting and editing of all this content, I'm surprised you get time to sleep old man ;) Thanks fella.
Cracking! I knew the railway access part was there, and some of the tunnels but didn’t expect the vastness of the place!
If you want to see where you were by the ‘train hole’ watch a train drivers POV Folkestone to Dover Etc see what the driver sees! It’s quite insightful!
What's with suddenly whispering ?
Can't hear a thing you say.
Can't believe you guys squeezed through those tight tunnels. That's CRAZY. I could never do that.
Thanks for sharing with us
Careful you can get lost down here, I have been here since 1973 trying to find my way out.
What an amazing explore! It had everything - massive arches, train line, in-use bits, bloody trip-wires! Great work.
It's one of those adventures, you'd definitely want to see the light at the end of the tunnel...lol
I would not fancy going down small tunnels like that ,my worse nightmare
Same here I'm getting uncomfortable just watching this lol
made me feel claustrophobic just watching this!
Absolutely brilliant 💯 cheers for the upload 👍
Wow. Thanks for including all the information in the description. I would have been Googling for ages.✅
There used to be a load of them metal doors in the cliff face down by the ferry port.
Good cameraman. Always look back where you came from. I learned that from Minecraft 😄
Brilliant Matthew! , thank you 👍
It took a lot of Opium, tobacco, and tea to build such a tunnel!
Thank you, what an amazing place! I really wish the guy who was showing you the tunnel would've spoken more closer to the camera or you would've repeated what he had said so us viewers can get the whole story or reference of what was there. I believe I'm in a different country, but I still love the history behind the explore. There were a few holes or tunnels on the sides I wish you would've stopped and looked into or asked about also! Lol Thanks again for this, not sure if I could've done those right spaces!
Tight thank me later 😉😉
There is a pretty good description at the top of the video. It will fill in a lot of the blanks.
For some reason I had the Mission Impossible music running through my head at the start . Good job in documenting this for all who can't..... mmm find it 😉😆 stay safe 🏴
Took an awful lot of time and effort to back fill all those tunnels
The Cliffs of Dover are man made defensive fortifications, not a natural quarry. It may seem like cognitive dissonance but once you see it you cant un-see it.
Ancestors built ,giant's
I saw what your saying on youtube channel somewhere before but cant seem to find it any links about it very interesting
How is that possible, explain how they built it please
@@kiloton1920 layers of huge blocks of chalk theres an area where you can clearly see it's like blockwork
@@craigmoyle2924 where did they get the chalk blocks? I assume they needed to be mined or fire in giant kilns if not?
Can't get over how big that complex is!! Miles & so many rooms! & underground train tracks!? Wow what a place! Where is this? Country?
Great video Matt! Great explore 😁👍🏼
Great to see you in Dover again Matt.Department of Enviroment tunnels as they are called ,becomming English Heritage some years later,but the tunnels kept the name D.O.E.
What was their purpose??
That was awesome- hello from Australia 🇦🇺 June 2022
Even people in Dover call them secret but we all know about their entry points or even explored them. Broke my finger from visiting one. Went to Buckland hospital and dr said had I been climbing. When I lived at Burgoyne Height as a army brat, we explored everywhere, the castle at night was fun. My brother went down where you guys are and thought he be found dead, ran out of light him and his mate. They came out in someone’s back garden.
Love the old homes dug out of chalk, where docks are today but sea erosion took them. Think that was around 18c. ❤️✌🏼🙏🏼
What i would like to know is who built this elaborate tunnel system. You can see the brick work but they made the tunnels very small and tight but it appears the larger areas in the beginning could have been used for criminal activity. Why else would you go thru such trouble underground. I mean thats a shit ton of brick work.
Government has tunnels every where connecting towns, businesses and military bases. Some underground areas are Military DUMBs
Nice to be able to explore something on my own doorstep via you Matt,thanks,enjoyed this.
Camouflage pants & nice clean bright white shirt,ah u big turkey! Lol awesome u weren't seen & got in cuz place is badass, awesome vid guys. Thanks & God bless, be safe.
Great video guys. 📹
See you are spoiling us again Matt, thank you.🙂
Wow what a great video Matt 👍 loving this Dover series, thanks for sharing 👍 what an amazing place 👍 epic explore, but why was u whispering?keep up the good work , look forward to seeing your next video 👍💖
Im sharing this to the Tartarian communities, they' ll love this 🌈🌈🌈👍💫💫💫
alright Matthew brilliant watch injoy watching your channel some really good stuff to watch interesting videos Matthew good stuff 🙂🙂👍
Forever kids... I love you guys!
Followed your route on google maps. With the Knight'sTemplar history and the Masonic lodge backed up to the hillside of the tunnels, rather trippy place.
Love you guys to find secret military tunnels that are still in use..ufo bases
Awesome videos! This old world brick work is pretty impressive for the given time period... Def. More to all of this than meets the eye! I would absolutely love to be out exploring this site! Good work guys! ☺️
Yet another great video/explore. You do spoil us. Cheers Matt 👍🙂
Those red bricks look so.old they are almost petrified!!
And the limestone/chalk block work with the thick render on it!!
This must be many hundreds of years old and these same tunnel and catacomb systems are found world wide...
Old world builds for certain and the skill level and build quality is unthinkanly advanced!!
This is one of my favourite topics to research!! Incredible find!! 👍
Oh more great stuff!! cant wait to see this.
Fantastic stuff yet again, thanks 🙂
The Secret Vault Interesting Matthew Thank you
Mental, when we’re those tunnels built and what for? Incredible what’s hidden away. Andy UK
Thoroughly enjoyed this one Matt, thank you 🙂
Awesome! Explore Matt don’t know how you do it. I was knakkerd just watching lol. Best exploring channel on CZcams keep up the great work.
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth
Someone needs to tidy-up before we move in 👍🏻
Great explore Matt. Thanks.
Liked the vlog form Margaret P
One of the best I've seen on your channel !
Might be worth digging these out
Melted building, melted brick. Huge building.
great video'
thanks a lot Matt
Crazy to see it in use
Enjoyed this explore matt, great video
In the 1950s some mates and I explored some of the tunnels we found that started from St Margaret's bay. Someone must have seen us as it wasn't long before the entrance was bricked up.
Awesome Matt proper explore this
Hi Matt you seem to be doing an underground theme at the moment cool
hi kernow
Loving this underground theme ☺️
@@mattfrancis4569 hi m8
@@shaniapearcey most definitely
Another great URBEX video, as usual. Seeing these Dover tunnels though, it further reaffirms that "the powers that be" have wasted yet another great resource by basically abandoning these structures. The division of Civil Defence should've been given total control and financial resources to keep these sites functional when the Ministry of Defense decided to cease using them. NEVER enough shelters, if a catastrophic event from above where to occur.
Again, great video work. 👍
You should get some hi-vis vests and hard hats and say you're surveying the tunnels. Urban Camouflage :)
Imagine doing all this after a few drinks what a difference that would make secretvault
How can you figure the way? GPS?
A fireman I knew said one night, he and another fire fighter, were hosing down a room when the wall collapsed behind them. The windows were barred, so they knocked down a brick wall to get out Don't understand how you manage to figure where you are.
Crikey. Crawling down those tight tunnels would definitely get my heart racing. From the look of them perhaps Napoleonic era if not indeed earlier
Great bunker!!
There are several that even fewer know about in Southern Kentucky around a small town called Monticello and the Daniel Boone National Forest. There are also caves there that GO VERY DEEP underground! There are some very scary stories about those secretly hidden caves. Its also believed there is a base in one of the mountains there. Haha as if that's not enough a couple of the UFO channels recently talked about there being 2 large orange glowing spheres and were seen entering the water at the man made lake they have called Cumberland lake. So there's a few things going on there that very few know about. Good luck getting locals to say anything. Its crazy no matter how you look at it. Many freaky things go on there and especially in the National Forest.
Great explore
What was this all used for when operating? Anyone know?
Brilliant as always Matt .
Excellent one....
Next time bring a sledge hammer & break down some of those walls. Easier to move about.
Mighty looking!
I'd heard of these but the extent of the tunnels is mind boggling. I've watched quite a number now around the world and the fact that so many vast tunnels exist makes you wonder how many more there are that we don't know about. Good job. Only slight whinge is it's not always easy to hear what's being said in the background.
First entrance is well and truly closed off now. Big 7ft metal fences up. You can still get to the champagne tunnels next door though, for now. 👌
Dose anybody else wonder... how and when these places where build... I'm just a crazy guy with a lose grip on what many call "reality" but to me... the realm we live on is far more fantastic special than just a rock flying through space at a ridiculous rate...
To me I really feel like we life in middle earth ... a place that was quite alot more spectacular than we now know it... maybe we will never know. But there's a community of people, that like myself have a suspicion that those that now currently control the narrative ... have reset our history many many times. Hiding truths... fabricating false narratives ....
But I'm just a crazy guy
The TRUTH is in the 50+ miles of book shelves under the VATICAN of ancient scrolls that nobody is allowed to READ.

I kind of think they had air powered tools or water powered tools that could have the high RPM of modern tools.
Add me to your crazy list.
@@kylekelly1167 Tools run with frequency? To me its obvious there were power tools. Or maybe they had full use of their brains, since we are told we hardly use most of it.
Very cool, loving it👍
Wonder what would you find in those tunnels with metal detector
I wonder if you took samples of the air they stir up what you would find. High chance of asbestos considering the time frame of construction and debris
Awesome place! Great video!
Thanks Matthew!
👍👍👍👊😎
another great location👍👍👍
Did you know that they is SECRETIVE Government Tunnels in Chatham Kent as well just on the bottom of Chatham Hill I don't think anybody as got in to them as they blocked of
Been to the ones in Fort luton back in the 70's. Still had old ovens and offices.
I hope you guys go back with the chipping hammer and metal detectors
Incredible tunnels !!!
Also, don't ever wear bright clothing as your white bright tee-shirt when trying to break into a place. Poor planning.
I wonder how many clandestine missions used that space..
Cheers Matt 👍🏻😎👊🏻 BIG RESPECT 🔥🔥
