Ho. 1

Ho.1 - Diesel Fuel Store

The tunnel below Delancey Park was one of three large diesel storage tunnels. The tunnel has three entrances, two of which were designed for vehicles. Sections began use in 1944 and were used to store munitions. Records state that as of September 1944, some 10,598 cubic metres of rock had been excavated from the site. The suffers from bad collapsing, making most sections inaccessible. The two vehicular entrances at Les Grandes Maisons continue for approx. 40 meters until major rock collapses block further access. The assessable concrete lined sections are used for storage. The bowling green at Delancey Park is found directly above a section of tunnel. According to records this has subsided due to tunnel collapses 3 times since the war. The personnel entrance was located off Delancey Lane and was not lined. This has repeatedly collapsed. One of the entrances is used by Festung Guernsey as a workshop.
