Hello all,
As title says, I have one mate who reckons was an old air raid shelter or bunker, and I see what he is getting at, as there seems to be some brick work missing, but why the manhole and step irons? It is also near a particularly pungent CSO on a brook, and there is a manhole with the sound of loud running water a bit further down, which makes me think it could be drainage/sewerage? There were air raid shelters in the area, and it is next to an active railway line, but I cannot see it being railway related, unless it was for supplying water to steam trains or something?
Any ideas on, as I am stumped?
Cheers,
PB
