Road of remembrance bunker, Folkestone - Aug 2009

[Maniac]

This bunker along Road Of Remembrance in Folkestone is believed to have been a WW2 naval communication facility. It originally had two entrances several rooms and toilets, with a ventilation room above the complex.

You can still see the remains of several WW2 posters on the walls of this place.

There may be plans to renovate this bunker and open it to the public as part of the plans for marking the centenary of the outbreak of hostilities in WW1 which takes place in 2014.

Few nice features left.

It's definitely one of the best condition WWII bunkers I've been in.

Thanks for looking!

It certainly is in remarkable condition.

The original doors and ducting still in place like that fully intact is a rarity!

Good pictures!

Very nice! More sophisticated that Dodge Hill, which is basically a series of caves with beds in

That looks a great place, well done on the find & pics. The doors are fantastic. Hope they do preserve it for future use!
