In July 1941 construction started on a matrix of tunnels designed as a factory for aircraft engines and as a RAF store having a combined floor area of 285,000 square feet. The tunnels are at the same level of the Kingsford Road that passes by the North side this being about 150ft below the top of the sandstone ridge that former part of the Drakelow estate.

After producing finished, parts of the tunnel complex have been used as a Regional Government Headquarters from the late fifties until the disbanding of the UKWMO in 1992. During that time it has been known as the Regional Seat of Government No9, Kinver; RGHQ 92 Drakelow or possibly Kidderminster. (the nearest large town)
