So here we are again! two more sections to add to the saga! Il start this one in the obvious way by saying a big thanks to Rigsby and Vdub for a heads up that the ball was back in our court with this place. With things possible once more i headed back over as soon as humanly possible, there was (and still is) defiantly alot more to see under Corsham
Part 9 - The Hospital and The Previously Elusive
The hospital is a pretty special part of site 3, definalty one of the more complete areas which is also preserved in great condition. We missed it first time around which had played on my mind a little since. This time we headed more or less straight there.
The hospital itself is magnificant, again like the telephone exhange much larger than i expected with ward rooms, treatment rooms, beds, sluices and even its own little kitchen where we were cursng our lack of water and teabags after finding the working stove complete with kettle and two massive tubs still full of ration biscuits!
The X-Ray room, while being a little dissapointing in the way that it didnt contain any form of mad 1950s X-Ray equipment, had been taken over as a home for most of the bunkers literature and maps. We had bumped into one or two other little rooms like this around the site but this was the best with some truly mad additions to the libary! The maps i belive originated from the 'Map Room' and had been brought to the hospital in attempt to preserve them, indeed there were several heaters on the go but sadly as we checked out a few bundles it became clear that many had suffered irreprible damage allready.
Finaly for Part 9 a few other areas that were missed before
Firstly the public adress system. This place was basicly where things would be played over the bunkers tannoy system, a suprisingly large room contained a lone microphone and lurking next door sat a stunning 1950s valve amp and record player. A 'slightly' less redundent cassette player and amp lurked on the other side of the room but attempts to play 'how to use a micrometer' through out the whole bunker were quickly deemed to be nothing more than an interesting way to jail..
