Dodge hill air raid shelter - 08/2011

[PaulPowers]

I was going to head down Tin Brook but the sky was threatening to rain and I didn't fancy getting wet so I headed down the air raid shelter on dodge hill.

This network of tunnels, was hewn out of the red sandstone hills on which Stockport stands, to provide air raid shelters for 6,500 during the Second World War. The shelters were fitted with basic amenities: electric lights, benches and bunk beds, first aid post and sick bay

I headed down after scaring a couple of kids outside as I jumped over the fence.
There was also that un-nerving moment where I was taking pictures and a torch light came from the back of the shelter, turns out it was urban krackhead (28 days later)

anyway on with the pics

And finally a little light play

Thanks for looking

A serious photographer would have dived down head first to retrieve it!!!

Nice photos Mr Powers

I had forgotten about posting this, the pics are dodgy because the sony ran out of batteries so I had to use the bridge.

Not my best pics but a bloody good explore, if your in the area head down as soon as you can as the council are now set to seal them up
