This was visited on the way back from seeing family, i always have something up my sleeve for the journey.

Sadly this post has seen better days, but i feel its still worth a report.

History by Wikipedia…

“Royal Observer Corps Monitoring Posts are underground structures all over the United Kingdom, constructed as a result of the Corps’ nuclear reporting role and operated by volunteers during the Cold War between 1955 and 1991.

In all but a very few instances the posts were built to a standard design consisting of a 14-foot-deep access shaft, a toilet/store and a monitoring room.

A third of the total number of posts were closed in 1968 during a reorganisation and major contraction of the ROC. Several others closed over the next 40 years as a result of structural difficulties i.e. persistent flooding, or regular vandalism. The remainder of the posts were closed in 1991 when the majority of the ROC was stood down following the break-up of the Communist Bloc. Many have been demolished or adapted to other uses but the majority still exist, although in a derelict condition.”

At least this one is not filled with water. But pretty empty, some ROC posts still have a table, chair or paperwork but this one is - empty. Nice posting though.
 
Nicely done..I done one a while back and keep meaning to put it up.still has all the stuff in.
 
Lol, yep - nothing like tidying up and making your bed before photo time :)

Shame the rest of the bits for the other beds were missing...
