Designed and constructed to construct and launch V2 rockets on an industrial scale towards London (only 117 miles away), 'Building Project 21' was a behemoth of a hardened facility built between 1943 and 1944 into the side of a chalk quarry using revolutionary techniques. Thankfully the project was never fully completed and operational thanks to the persistence of the RAF in disrupting and destroying the facility.

 

The site is now a museum and many of the completed tunnels can still be explored as part of the experience.
