Just thought I'd post an old report to get started in the forum, I haven't really done any proper urbex for a while but here's one of my favourite places :)

I have more photos of a couple of other places in the area but they can wait for another day :thumb

The remains of the Second World War gun battery here are two deep shelters and two underground plotting rooms, the photos are of one deep shelter and two plotting rooms (Not sure which are from which, they're identical)

The tunnel at the bottom of the stairs in the deep shelter, with ventilation ducts on the floor..

Couple more shots of tunnel - this is essentially all the shelter is, 2 parallel tunnels with a staircase at either end.

Access points should never be given out in open forum mate. Details like that are normally done through PM's

Some nice shots there, and looks a cool explore.

Resize to 640 mate. Thats the standard we normally use.

Nice report :thumb

Nice work bud, I love seeing all the underground WWII stuff round there, there's nothing really like it up North:( Your photo's need re-sizing though they're mahoosive:lol:

Thanks, have resized!

All the best WW2 military stuff is on the South Coast really :(

And removed the 2 photos showing access points, thanks SilentHill :thumb
