Underground room, Accrington - Aug 09

[magaz]

Not much of a report, there isn't much to see when your there, but it might be of interest to someone...

The underground room has been a mystery to us for a long time, there have been many ghost stories told about it since way back... I had forgot about it until I was walking my dog, I had my trusty G10 at hand and jumped in...

the entrance is very well hidden, and can't be seen from the path through the woods, I photographed it from above looking towards the trail,

it is about 3 foot by 4 foot and drops down by about 2 foot.

The room (which is now flooded) is big enough for an adult to crawl in and sit up.

As kids we used to speculate about an underground complex (obviously full of zombies ) this came from us believing that there was a collapsed tunnel entrance in the room on the left.

I have no idea what this is or was... but I'd love to know!

Its obviously quite old, judging by its build materials.
But I would say that it was proberbly used later on in WW2 as a Aux bunker, looks just right, although a little small.

Do you have a NGR or FlashEarth location, may assist with identification?

If there is a large house nearby it could be an ice store.

I'll take a guess at a well or a spring?

Thats what I though, looks like a dried up natural spring to me. Don't think there's any military link TBH it looks nothing like an auxillary unit hide.

There are no buildings remotely near it... I don't think there ever has been either...

It's literally in the middle of the woods!

Theres another "bunker", much bigger, about 15 minutes walk away from it... I'm going up that way today so I'll get some shots of that too...
