Hellfire Corner is a series of secret tunnels in the famous White Cliffs under Dover Castle, which were used as the strategic combined head quarters during World War II. These secret chambers saw the planning of the Dunkirk evacuation and the supervision of the London Air Corridor.
The tunnels were declassified around 1990 and given over to English Heritage so they could be opened to the public.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic Hellfire Corner, located in Dover Castle, Kent, England. The image captures the essence of this significant site during World War II. Hellfire Corner was a series of secret tunnels hidden beneath the iconic White Cliffs and served as the strategic combined headquarters for military operations. In these underground chambers, crucial decisions were made that shaped history. It was here that plans for the Dunkirk evacuation were meticulously crafted, ensuring the safe return of thousands of Allied soldiers. Additionally, Hellfire Corner played a pivotal role in overseeing and safeguarding the London Air Corridor. After decades shrouded in secrecy, these tunnels were declassified around 1990 and entrusted to English Heritage for preservation and public access. This photograph was taken on May 14th, 1990 when Dame Vera Lynn herself inaugurated English Heritage's opening of Hellfire Corner. The image showcases not only the historical significance but also highlights Dame Vera Lynn's presence at this momentous occasion. Her contribution to boosting morale through her music during wartime is legendary.
