Recorded as Gravesham in the Domesday Book of 1086 when it belonged to Bishop Odo of Bayeux (half-brother of King William I), its name probably derives from "graaf-ham": the home of the Reeve, or Bailiff of the feudal lord. Another theory suggests that the name Gravesham may be a corruption of the words grafs-ham – a place "at the end of the grove". Frank Carr asserts that the name derives from the Saxon Gerevesend, the end of the authority of the Portreeve (originally Portgereve - chief town administrator).
Between London and the Strait of Dover, which separates it from mainland Europe, Kent has seen both diplomacy and conflict, ranging from the Leeds Castle peace talks of 1978 and 2004 to the Battle of Britain in World War II.
England relied on the county's ports to provide warships through much of its history; the Cinque Ports in the 12th–14th centuries and Chatham Dockyard in the 16th–20th centuries were of particular importance. France can be seen clearly in fine weather from Folkestone and the White Cliffs of Dover. Hills in the form of the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge span the length of the county and in the series of valleys in between and to the south are most of the county's 26 castles.
Kent was part of the Philipse Patent of 1697, when it was still populated by the Wappinger tribe. Daniel Nimham (1724–1778) was the last chief of the Wappingers and was the most prominent Native American of his time in the Hudson Valley.
The town was first settled by Europeans in the mid-18th century by Zachariah Merritt and others, from New England, Westchester County, or the Fishkill area. Elisha Cole and his wife Hannah Smalley built Coles Mills in 1748, having moved to that location the previous year from Cape Cod. Coles Mill operated until 1888 when it was submerged under West Branch Reservoir. Around this same time the northeastern part of the county was settled by the Kent, Townsend, and Ludington families, among others. The father of Hannah Smalley and his family moved to Kent about two years before Elisha Cole and his family.

WT Henley's / AEI Cableworks Air Raid Shelter in Gravesend Kent
So today we're visiting a large air raid shelter complex in Gravesend Kent.
It was a company built air raid shelter that was open to the public at night to sleep in, they charged a penny a night for a safe nights sleep.
The complex is built in a grid like formation petering off towards the back. It looked as thought there were 2 distinct areas as parts were sectioned off probably for office space. It was built to accommodate 700 people.
Prior to the air raid shelter there was a cave system that was a left over from the Rosherville Gardens, unfortunately there isn't a lot of information on the caves themselves and how large they were.
As you can see from the video there are an incredible amount of original features left behind, including enough chemical toilets to sink a ship.

Happy exploring.
