Ramsgate Tunnels were reopened by HRH The Duke of Kent on 27 May 2014 so that people could explore them and experience how people sheltered and lived in them during the Second World War http://www.ramsgatetunnels.org/ These tunnels carried a railway line to Ramsgate Harbour station until 2 July 1926, when the station was closed. Planning permission was granted by Thanet District Council under application number F/TH/13/0980 for a “change of use of tunnels to provide visitor attraction (D2 use class) and to include alterations to/installation of metal entrance gates, creation of vehicular access, parking provision and landscaping work”.
