Redcar ROC Post - (Durham Group) - August 2010
Redcar has always been one that has fascinated me.
People have said it was welded, and the plug mangled.
Now that is not the case, its also not in a secure compound anymore.
Its owned by Redcar Golf CLub, and the Head Greenkeeper was kind enough to hand me the Torlift Key, saying i could take what i wanted for my resto, as they are planning on turning it into a water storage tank for the greens.
Compund was all ripped open.
No weld, or any signs of it being welded in the past, perhaps this was to keep people away?
I opened the hatch, and descended the ladders, hopeing to find a teletalk. Unfortunatly, it was gone. And all that remained was a tt shape in the dust of the desk. The jerry cans have also gone and chairs.
Comms were still on the wall, and as they were MINT, i took them, as i needed a filter unit anyway. If anyone needs a carrier reciever and loudpseaker, let me know. These are loads better compared to the ones i did have, and at least ive saved them from flooding :O
The head greenkeeper hasnt been there long and seems to think that it was stripped out by the previous one when they were thinking of turning it into a tank a few years ago.
This would explain why everything that wasnt fixed down was gone. A TT hunter would have taken the comms, as they are so lush!
Bit of water in the sump which i thought was odd, but it was rusty lumpy water which leads me to think the jerry cans have been emptied down there.
He said he'll ask around and have a look through all the storage sheds to see if he can find it, i mean no one would have taken the plastic chairs surely?!
Also my camera was playing up today, the lens wouldnt focus and frame properly and half the photos were corrupt :\
