cold war

Once again, I find myself doing a mega report. Every time I tell myself I’ll make it shorter, only to end up writing more. I’ve done a big intro here to set the scene but there’s plenty. I’ve got to thank UrbanX from DP and @The_Raw for some general advice on visiting these bases. We didn’t get...

Looking along the Norfolk Coast for interesting sites. This may be one to keep an eye on, the bunker may become accessible in the next few years if it falls out of MOD hands, again. From WikiPedia: "In July 2022, it was announced that the radar at RAF Trimingham would be moved 8 miles (13 km)...

Hello! I’m new to this forum and already, it’s been great reading through pages of history and finding a few more amazing local spots to journey to in the future. I’ve been into urbex and the concept of abandoned buildings since I was a small child but I’ve never really consciously searched for...

SHORTS TUNNELS KENT : JULY 2021 Attended as a guest upon invite. I will add the History blurb shortly... Please don't comment until after I have written some information about this place. I did manage to film most of it and have a 4 part youtube video covering most of the areas within.. But...

History: This small bunker was built as a small medical outpost for a airfield. Why it was built as an bunker was probably handy for when the airfield was bombed. After the treat of the cold war went away, this place was closed for good. Explore: Nowadays this small bunker is surprisingly well...

This is a short animation I created to show how an ROC post would have operated had the unthinkable happened. Thankfully it never did!

"Everyone needs a good slice of Pyestock"... And I couldn't agree more! For a good few weeks, @Olkka and I had been planning something on a miniature road trip to Pyestock, and with a somewhat considerable amount of chopping and changing to our provisional dates, we finally followed through...

Hadleigh was a strategically important site for defense if Invasion from Germany ever occurred during WW2. Located in the Brett Valley, it was nicknamed 'Hadleigh Hole' by locals as entering it from any angle was a decline, thus being vulnerable to total surrounding. A Munitions Workshop, Camp &...

Thought I would share this as I cant seem to find many recent posts only old posts from 2008. This roc was a 91 closure and I was quite surprised that's it was still in relatively good condition. access was easy and it was unlocked there are still bits and Bob's down there like loo roll, soap...

In rurual Mid Devon sat in a field, out of sight from the road that runs parrael, is an underground ROC Post. The ROC Post has a green lid to it which is not locked. After uncovering the lid there is a small shaft with a metal ladder decesending into the bunker. The post is not huge in size but...

In a compound in north london, it has a low fence around the ROC post, but thats easily climbed as its not very tall. The site is locked and also a padlock is chained and welded to the hole where you put torkey in, and the padlock is also gunked up with stuff inside. The condition of the post...

Hi all This is my first thread, hope it’s ok. I visited former raf Barnham in Suffolk, this is where our military stored the United Kingdom’s first free fall Atomic Bomb (blue Danube). I managed to walk around some of the perimeter and took some photos of the watch towers. It’s really hard to...
