Goldsborough r2 rotor bunker

Goldsborough r2 rotor bunker.
I've been interested in this site for many of years,and managed to finally get inside.
The guard house is being reformed into a new dwelling now with security on site.
The bunker stairwell is flooded to a depth of 4ft with a lot of debris, metal roof tiles and brick. This will be sealed very soon with rubble and other items from the rebuild of the bungalow.
Once into the bunkers tunnel, it is a very short tunnel Aprox 25 meters in length and quite a steep incline. From all the other rotor bunkers I've been into this makes it unique as all other bunkers go down not up.
The bunker itself is absolutely stripped bare. All flooring and cabling have been removed. The bunker is flooded up to the level of the concrete floor which makes it very dangerous. It is badly fire damaged due to the fire in 1958. A main roof support is bent and twisted, possibly due to the heat.
At the rear of the bunker is one large ventilation fan housing. The emergency exit stairs have been removed.
As you can see from the images it's badly fire damaged and most areas are unaccessible due to the depth of the water. The main operations and plant room are all under water. Here are a few pictures of the inside

Sad to see it in that condition. Who ever stripped it out missed a small earner by leaving those green/white enamelled lamp shades.....
As a 10/11 year old boy, almost 65 years ago, I 'discovered' and explored the similar bunker at Treleaver, in Cornwall. At the time it had very recently been 'decommissioned', but still had security posters on the walls and desks with odd bits of stationary/pens, in the desk drawers. Sadly, like this one, the lower levels were flooded and inaccessible....

Looks a mess but well done for getting it documented.
