History:
The shelter is located below existing ground level in Carshalton Park off Ruskin Road in Carshalton. The shelter was constructed with pre-cast reinforced concrete sections for the walls and ceilings and insitu concrete for the stairs and floors with an internal steel frame that appears to provide lateral stability for the pre-cast concrete panels.
The shelter provided basic facilities for the comfort of its occupants, and would appear to have had some form of electric lighting powered either by battery or from the mains, and supplied by wires running through steel conduit, which still survives in some areas. At the ends of each corridor a recessed area was provided for occupants to boil water on a concrete plinth. A vent pipe carried the steam to the surface.
The explore:
visited with @Minor , @Dora Grew Up and a non member, As far as bunkers that i've been to go, this one is my least favorite and this is one we couldn't get into before as we had left it till to late in the morning before. i found this bunker very monotone and boring hence only a few different pics
thanks for looking
