These photos was taken a few months ago but i believe that its been long enough that im able to publicly share
One evening i looked at the local paper with the headline of "Mysterious Tunnel Found!" it made me urge to just quickly see what it was about... with in 30 minutes i was on the phone to a Friend to see if he had noticed it... which to my shock... he did and he had beaten me too it! :icon_evil
but he gave me a few tips on locations and points of access after calling up another friend asking if he was up for a quick visit into this "mysterious tunnel" under a playing field... so off we went time set and we both arrived shortly after talking on the phone... thats where the fun started... we forgot that a firestation over looks the access point in which we would have to squeeze under a fence ...
after enough time looking dodgy and walking the same line on the pavement we thought "oh f**k it" throwing our tripods over the 15foot fence (not recommended by the way ) and pushing our selfs and camera bags under the fence we both quickly ran off towards the main building where we would find this square fenced off section held a entry point to something that laid forgotten for more than 60 years!
Yes its another Air Raid Shelter hidden in Plymouth!
I was told about some "Graffiti" down inside the shelter and was told to look out for "popeye" i couldnt find it... but i found something alittle more amusing
I must admit being in places like this sends shivers down my spine and stands the hairs up all over... these places are fast disappearing thanks to our local council! but after this shelter was covered up we thought "glad we got in..." and then thought nothing of it... but history soon haunted us again... as another ARP shelter was found in the FRONT of the school building! tho this shelter i didnt have much interest in as it lacked in alot of stuff (personal bits,graff etc) and was also flooded nearly a foot in one area! and my Friend beat me too it again! (by 20 minutes according to him )

id like to personally make it clear that i did not damage any items in the pictures above... nor did i annoy/upset/damage any part of the school... i hear you scream "someone think of the children..." no... dont... think that i hated school as a youngster... and i really wanted to go back for one night!
