Ok I know this site has been posted before, that's how I found out about it in the first place.
However in the light of new photos and new information, links and the fact the other post is now closed, I thought I'd give another airing and let others search through the links I've found.
The family joined me on this hunt. After speaking with the owner of the horses in the field he had no probs letting us look around.
He also told us of more underground structures nearby behind the scout camp.
The site contained a wealth of finds, the trenches were for the electrical service and the EM waveguides, at the end of each trench was the set of four mast bases and a smal hut, this hut housed the mounts for the waveguide turning skyward.
The main block has suffered a lot of damage, the roof has collapsed due to unknown forces, romour has it the farmer attempted to blow it up.
The scout camp was originally the compound with the 4 240' reciever masts, reciever block and the personel, this explains the small guardhouse just inside the gates.This site was niceley documented by M Briscoe, link below.
The Transmitter Block
Transmitter Bases.
Waveguide Tunnel
A lonely Valve
Wooden door with locking bars
Pillbox door
Inside the pilbox
Air Raid SHelter
Service Trench, these contained the electrical service and the waveguides
A PYE reciever found in the transmitter block
Lying in the blast trench were a lot of old equipment chassis.
Behind the camp was a road leading up to the reserve bunker. A link below to a similar bunker in kent.
Reserve Bunker Exhaust Vent
The twin roller doors covering the enterance shaft
