Built in the 1940's as an ARP command bunker. It was then used by the steel works for x-ray testing.( i think-correct me if im wrong!)
Only one entrance tunnel remains as the other was demolished and then bricked up when they built the road nearby.
Photos were taken over 2 visits, one with Diehardlove and the other with MD and Goldie87
