After a failed attempt our first time, not being able to find the access point, me and HiddenShadow tried our luck a second time and prevailed =]
So here's a little history on the place, with full credit going to Havoc for his research and time to write this on his great UE site. Brinksway Air Raid Shelters where constructed between 1938-1939 during WW2. And cut into the soft sandstone rock which is visible all round Stockport.
With Manchester being only a stones throw from Stockport. The local authorities built the shelters to protect the civillians from German air attacks.
There were six shelters built in Stockport. Now only three remain, one of which is now a museum. Dodge Hill and Brinksway are the only other two remaining shelters which are in there original condition and have not changed since WW2. The other three were demolished.
The place soaked light and my camera flash isnt the best so sorry in advance for the poor lighting.

Better than most public toilets!
An old paraffin fired roadworks lamp!
It did nothing to light our path!
Vandalised and tipped!
The beds that housed our grandparents!
Unaware of what this is, Bin maybe?
First attempt at light writing!
Sorry for the orbs!
Bit of self publicity!

Thankful for the air!
Time for a rest after a long walk!
Loved this place and going to be doing it again and do a better report!
