    Default Upton ROC Post - (Yorkshire Group) - June 2011

    Royal Observer Corps Post Upton 20/66. (Badsworth)

    Live local to here and have passed it a million times - never seen it open. A few years ago it had padlocks on, now it's welded.

    I thought it was quite fitting that it's surrounded by poppies - gave it a nice touch!

    Ventured out with my little Canon G9 and mini tripod just to make a record of it - albeit a bit arty-farty.

    Pics.

    Shame its welded but that paint is flaking very badly, suppose that is what you get for almost 20 years without a new coat! And the vent looks a bit worse for wear as well, still thanks for posting fella.

    That's lovely

    You should make a vid and use one of the tracks from Floyd's FINAL CUT Album
