Deepdeen Railway Control Centre

Deepdeen Railway Control Centre
During World War 2, the Southern Railway group took over the Deepdeen Hotel as their War Headquarters. it was discovered that the grounds to the rear of the buildings contained a series of caves and these would be utilised for the traffic control bunker of the Southern Region network.
The tunnel network contained a control room, a meeting room, 3 position switchboard, battery room, night officer bedroom, plant rooms and toilets. A 60 foot emergency shaft was excavated at the rear of the tunnel and was used as the fresh air inlet. The bunker was used throughout the war and was occupied by operators well into the 1960. British Railway left thr control centre in the mid 1960s.
