Out again with the "new to Urbexing" Hound Dog (not the spotty one)who seems to have a nack for this!
He sais there is another farm just a few miles from both our houses & after a quick google the hunt was on.
Ok this was secure & not that interesting, but we both noticed some strange "compound" looking things on the overhead eye!
I guessed from this what they were, but the mysteries kept coming as we crossed a field to find concrete reinforced steel walls with barbed wire tops & strange telegraph poles protruding.
Anyone know anything about these I am intrigued?
With my lad & the conspicuous explorer dog in toe the visit went something like this.
The farm with identity protection paramount!

Crossing the field the top of the "store" & fencing can be seen & the strange "telegraph poles"

the original security of this place is obvious

Out the nettles on the main track we were confronted with this

Strangely the main gates are open, even more so the grass is cut on either side of these & this place is in the middle of nowhere!
P5240022 by Glynn Preston, on Flickr
On the gates are warnings of prosecution!

Inside each compound is a tightly secure steel door building & loading dock with a notice about wearing slippers or something??

I am no expert but the brickwork on this is not WW2, Cuban perhaps??

The gates still moved!

Strange metal topped wooden pole.

The corrugated walls were prob 10ft thick at the bottom with concrete inside.

Leaving the site along the main track there are several signs & a small "security hut" which all seems a bit low key.

I should point out this is miles from any of our numerous airfields, I am assuming this may be a "keep off the radar" tactic.
other oddities were all the hedging down to these neatly cut & power cables down to the site which looked well maintained & "new" looking electric boxes in the corner of each compound.
We have since noticed a third one in side the woods... perhaps this holds the answers!
