Ho.31 - Electricity Generating Station
Ho.31 is located at Chouet, Vale and was initially planned as a Personnel Shelter. Work commenced in 1942. It was later altered into a small Electricity Generating Station. Completed and in use in 1944. It has been covered by post-war landscaping. Records show that 502 cubic metres of rock was removed at this site. The tunnel is potential marked for partial or complete destruction in the new quarry plan.
