Explored with UrbanCreed.
Been wishing to explore this site for ages and did a lot of research on it a while back but was informed it was closed a long time ago. So when I found out it was open, I was already to go and wasted no time going over there. This was my first explore with my new camera so did a lot of playing around to see what results I could get.
This bunker was build at the start of WW2 to hold 2,535 people, Although it could hold double that if needed. And was closed in 1945.
On to my photos.
