also in the first world war the caves were used for holding gun powder in the very deep end of the caves

The real length of passageway in Chislehurst Caves is around 6-7 miles. They were being worked as recently as the 1850s, when chalk was raised up a shaft which was located in the back garden of a house in Old Hill - "Woodlands".

There are three other mines in the valley of the Kyd Brook, all of which are contemporaneous with Chislehurst Caves. None are open to the public, and only one is currently accessible.
