This was described as a 'civil defence bunker', but evidently was built in WW2 as an air raid shelter. It consists of three entrances, a long corridor, 6 large rooms with benches, a few small rooms, and 2 blocks of toilets. Although very high flooding had caused lots of damage in the past, it was still nice to see. It looks like no one has been down there for years, the rubbish pushed down the stairways was very old.
