It's a sad day for me and my friends, I made the trip to Portsmouth Fuel Bunkers and got left in the dust.
The front entrance of the West bunker (the bigger one) has been blocked for years, but now the central and northern entrances have been blocked. The East bunker (the smaller one) has also been closed off too.
It appears new Steel beams and sheets have been welded on to ALL previously usable entrances, with a concrete block at the bottom providing extra support. This is probably the toughest blockades we have ever seen on these entrances.
This has only happened in the recent months, since all of these entrances were open when I visited in June this year.
The entrance to the main stairwell leading down into the West bunker. This is the fresh new sheet since the old door has been ripped off and lies inside the compound where this entrance is.
The East bunker entrance as of present. The door used to be able to open.
FOR CLARIFICATION, THE NORTHERNMOST ENTRANCE IS ALSO WELDED SHUT IN A SIMILAR STYLE, HOWEVER THE PHOTO FILE HAS BEEN LOST.
That's pretty much it... Now to play the waiting game.
