Visited this a couple of months back, passed it and thought it looked intriguing, after a recce, and a failed attempt with Bryag in the pouring rain, a return visit was made
These bunkers are actually above-ground hardened secure communication centres, usually for the RAF I believe, they were generally early 1990s in construction, and are blast-proof, basically the last generation Nuclear bunkers, complete with all the usual plant for air and water purification etcetera.
Apologies for the pics, they were taken with flash and no tripod due to the manner of access
Approach :
Main Doorway :
Some of the plant :
Operations map still there
Decontamination room :
One of the comms rooms, with Fire Exit door, this and the main door were the only doors in the whole place :
Corridor :
Rolls Royce genny
It's a big door
Interesting place this, not a lot of them about, this one's now been sold, to a storage company I believe.
