Visited this with my brother, much to my amusement, as he is a very upright citizen, so persuading him to ignore all the signage, and over the fence took a little doing 
Twas a purely spur-of-the-moment thing, as I had no plans to explore during my brief sojourn in the North, and spotted this on the way to Finchale Priory for some night-time photography malarkey.... as soon as I spotted bunkery-looking mounds I lost all interest in ruined priorys
There seems to be very little history on this place available, all I can tell you is that is a 1940's munitions dump, apparently built by the Army, but used for Naval armaments It's also very near HMP Frankland and YOI - so that ramped up my brothers nerves
There are the remains of tracks which appaently connected it to the main line. There were also 2 bungalows nearby, which appear to have served as gaurdhouses, one is completely fooked, t'other is a private house..
Flashearth here
First view :
Say 'Awww'
Entrance, with loading bay :
Some of the 'bunkers' had no vehicle access, as above, some did, as below
There were some seriously thick blast walls seperating the entrances :
They were a bitty graffed inside sadly
And all identical, with the remains of benches under the windows :
Handy method of transport, as it was a big site
Looking over the site :
Bits and bobs :
Looking back :
Enjoyed this, although I so wasn't dressed for the brambles
