During World War Two a Civil Defence HQ was set up within a section of the existing tunnels at Fort Amherst.
The HQs purpose was to co-ordinate assistance and the provision of resources to the general public in the event of a bombing within the North Kent Area.
Today a section of the tunnels has been reconstructed to replicate what the Civil Defence HQ would have looked like in 1939.
The HQ can be visited as part of the tour provided by the volunteers of Fort Amherst.
