Bunkers

Squeese Bunker

These two bunkers are normally locked and not open to the public. One day whilst visiting the bunkers I noticed the entrances had been forced open by other explorers. While not approving of the vandalism used to open the bunkers, I did take advantage of the open way and thoughrally explored the two bunkers. I would not encourage others to do the same, as the bunkers have been well documented on this and other web sites. In addition, exploring these bunkers is very dangerous. I had a friend wait above and carried a mobile phone (yes it worked down there) and emergency air supply mask with me.

20/4/2001 - I have since researched a bit of the history of these bunkers. The Ready Rooms on the maps were in fact machinery rooms used to supply hydraulic power and steam to the guns. The Deep Room was in fact a generator room.

A frog lives down there, almost the same colour as the rocks

The passage bears through solid rock

Muddy entrance to the lower bunker. This area floods so is often under water. Hence the rusty colour.

Still intact control panel of some sorts.

Southern end of the room, maybe the ammo lift or vent shaft?

Still intact light fitting on the steele ceiling
