Looking back. (my torch is on the ground at the site of the original entrance)

There was seating on both sides and in both spurs but there's only the scars left.

Even the old fuse boxes have been stripped-out.

The only writing I could find on the walls..'For Litter'. I guess this is original WW2 era.

It's blocked.
