them pics are from the early 50s... them street lights in the big ben pics look old.
also this looks like a early 1950s ford anglia in this pic
just like this one with the fog light on the N/S/F
although having a better look it actually looks like a austin 16 which is pre war if i remember right 1940s

they look fuckign bad boy... wonder what road that car is on? found out a bit more about the air raid shelter. It dont look good for it...
Looks like the old pics must be of street lighting installations they did, pretty sure the ones by big ben are still there.
That doesn't sound good, take it they have been destroyed

well i PM,D richard H on here asked him this..
just a couple of questions about the bunker if you can remember from GE lighting...
can you remember from when you came through the main gate which side it was on. The left or the right of when you got to the back of the grounds?
where abouts was the prefab sheds?
was the bunker a hatch sticking out the ground?
we managed to find some sheds that had been knocked down in the trees and behind that was a big mud mound like maybe something had been buried?
Im wondering if they have just buried over the hatch
this was the reply i got....
I don't think there was anything obvious. There was just a patch of grass right at the back of the site, beyond the prefab sheds facing Troon Way, which was cordoned off with red-and-white tape. I was told not to go over there because there was an old shelter, and it was dangerous. It was near the small gates on Troon Way (well, they used to be small, don't know if they still are), but back aways towards some scrub.
Definitely didn't see any hatches or anything that would give the game away as a bunker, but I didn't get very close, and wasn't allowed to loiter for very long.
They could have buried over the hatch; it's also possible that the whole thing just collapsed in on itself.

Never know they will probably clear all that area when development is well under way, might uncover something!

if they are going to build something new there then they will have to totally remove the bunker as someone already stated it might of caved in on itself so the land will be very uneven and foundations need to be made aswell so the bunker will be dug up very soon without any doubt inless they are just clearing the area i.e tiding it up for a new company to take over the land

The place has been stripped bare. Wiring and pipe work...
It's a good job I wasn't declaring my undying love for you, isn't it?
