Air Raid Shelters

Returning from another location and giving up on numerous en route, feeling tired and cold we decided to stop at a rumor of air raid shelters.

It’s been a long time coming this location, literally being on my list for as long as I can remember being a slight bunker nut that I am. With a date set we set out on the two hour trip to the bunker and although having a good explore on surface level, we were baffled when it came to access into the bunker down to the rather well sealed concrete caps on both entrances, including the air ventilation shaft.
