December 2024 I managed to knock this one off as a solo visit after spotting access during an early morning drop at Crewe railway station, after a quick dash home to grab my camera bag I was back and in. I’ve been aware of this one for years having first spotted it whilst doing the...

Apologies for the photos in advance, this was a random wander whilst in Dieppe and we didn't have any gear with us so had to use phone. History - Die06 Château de Dieppe is a set of bunker built into and around the castle and cliffs on the west side of Dieppe as part of the Atlantik wall...

History - Hennocque quarry is a limestone quarry taking it's name from the family that owned it for several generations. When France fell to the Germans in 1940 the quarry was seized and used as part of the plans for the manufacture and distribution of V2 rockets. The V2 rocket or...

I've been in two minds as to whether this warrants a report or not considering it's a museum, but seeming as the only mention of it I can find on the forums is in a similar report on the Blockhouse Museum in Eperlecques, I thought I'd give it a shot. I did have a mooch around the carnage left up...

Situated in Middlesbrough in the North East of the UK , the only outward sign this shelter exists is the remains of the ghost sign to the rear of the building above Access to the underneath bunker / shelter is not publically available these images were taken in 2012 but the ARP shelter still...

I've been trying to track down all the disused RAF airfields that are relatively close to me, and these two are very close together, so going to cover them in one report. This is mainly because there's very little at Upottery except for the runway and control tower, but it's still interesting...

THE CHAPPEL & CRYPT Nazareth House (Milton Hall) : Southend-on-Sea "Milton Hall, which is now known as 'Nazareth House', was formerly the manor house of the Manor of Milton and owned by the Priory of Holy Trinity, Canterbury. The Manor was undoubtedly held by...

Feel free to take this post with a pinch of salt. Not sure if I believe this myself. RAF Bircham Newton, now known as CITB, was a WW1 and WW2 airfield, which in the 1950s changed hands from the MoD to the CITB. Rumour has it, there are tunnels under the roads. This is the part I'm skeptical...

Finally we are able to see inside the 'Question mark' ... Old Ranges Reservoir/Tank opposite the Tennis Courts and Commandants House. Someone has destroyed the covering lid and concrete surround.. Clive and myself were looking at another structure nearby and had bought an endoscope with us...

Big Bad Penguin (a mate who's not on 28) and myself decided to do a last minute explore, and found more structures than we had thought we would ... The RAF site, is divided into two with one side repurposed (Polish side) ..and that's taken over largely by quarry works (Northern side)... the...

For such a long time we have been looking to prove that underground Tunnels/Shelters/Structures can exist within Shoeburyness despite the land being so close to the water table. We did ALOT of research and one day last month decided to go looking for an entrance of some kind that we believed...

THE HISTORY This airfield is no stranger to explorers, nor has it had a quiet past, and as such has had its history thoroughly covered online. However, I will recover it below. Also, to make up for this place having been done to death I've added a few side-by-side comparisons with another very...

Me and Angelo will explore the Royal Air Force Base / airfield , known as RAF Krendi Airfield, that housed its Operations, Administrative and Signals offices under ground during World War 2 situated in Qrendi Malta. The station was officially inaugurated in 1941 as a diversion airstrip for the...

Red Sands Sea Fort Thames Estuary, UK cc2021 Here is the start of my Maunsell, Red Sands Fort report, situated in the Thames Estuary (1 of 3 forts, 2 remain) ..i'll touch on the remaining two Forts at a later time.. OVERVIEW :- The offshore forts, or towers, were originally World War II...

Hi all, I see a lot of posts on this place are around ten years old now so thought I would provide some newer photography with the nice fat wide angle lens. Not much new to report so this is a fairly quick report, but hopefully of interest anyway. The History There's plenty of information...

Dont know much about it.

I just watched this on iPlayer - all about WW2 activity in Wales. Towards the end, he visits the Langstone Aux OB (Jonah Patrol) near Newport. Then he visits an almost perfect (to good to be true!?) base. Any idea where this is ? Looks so good it must have been looked after over the years, or...

A friend and I had heard rumors of abanoned tanks near our town but only knew roughly where to look. After walking almost 5 miles down country lanes and through woods we eventualy found them. I have no idea about the type of tank perhaps some one else will know? Sadly as you cans...

History: Belsize Park Deep Level Shelter, was constructed by the government during the second world war, as a means of shelter for the public during the blitz. The shelter was built directly behind Belsize Tube Station, hence the style of its tunnels. Inside, there are two parallel tunnels, both...

Went down to Cornwall this summer not far from my old uni haunts to check out some derps. Great bits of history amongst an impressive coastal landscape. So here we've got a kind of 2-for-1, a surf n turf so to speak. Both a WW2 Royal Navy refuelling depot, and a Victorian Palmerston fort...
