wentworth bunker Jan 2008

[drypulse]

not found this place posted on this site, probably wrong but just in case here's the info. not exactly sure on the history of it, but during ww2 it was brimming with guards, planning something along the lines of d-day.

the really interesting aspect of this bunker is that it is made of three london underground pipes, with doorways welded between them, with blast proof doors added. the main entrance to the bunker is in well known golf course's clubhouse, the emergancy entrance pops up in a clump of trees. probably about 80 meteres long, with 20 rooms, 10 on ecah side. all stripped bare, even the flooring gone!

Looks very interesting, its a shame its been stripped out. The tunnel parts look similar to the london underground tunnels.

Cheers,

It's a cool place.
I ran up and down this not so long ago with a torch for a light painting exercise - hit my head twice

Ruddy exhausting !!!!!!
