Local people can learn more about what life was like sheltering beneath Ramsgate during the Second World War in a new exhibition at the area’s Visitor Information Centre. On Sunday 12 February and from Tuesday 14 February until Sunday 19 February, the Ramsgate Tunnels group will have an exhibition in the Drum Room of the Droit House Margate, home to the council’s Visitor Information Centre. It highlights the work that the group are doing to open the tunnels up to visitors and includes a life-size replica of a cross-section of the tunnels, complete with furniture and equipment, which aims to give visitors an idea of what taking shelter in the tunnels during the war would have been like. Cllr. Iris Johnston, Cabinet Member for Community Services, said: “This is going to be a fascinating exhibition and will give local people and visitors the chance to learn more about this project. We’re delighted that the Visitor Information Centre can play a part in helping to promote what could be a really exciting visitor attraction for the area.”
