Wow. That is some find Joy..

Surprising that nothing was known / declared when surveys were done before it was sold.
Maybe the local library has some archived record of it being used.

Wow wonder if anyone else on here has a similar bunker!

Hope he finds out how the water got in before he does anything with it though.

What a find Joy! It would be good if it could be used in future, but the features kept. I wonder if the previous owners were aware of it.

Great find,

I know Baby S will want to go down and the Butler if I know him,,,,,,

The light switches are great the water must have preserved them......plenty of wax will stop them drying out and going brittle......


Somewhere for you to go and write your life story and de-stress.or be the guide on the tours..... ;-) :-D :-D :-D.
