Went for a first look and we were very impressed, suprised to find the lights on tho ?!?
Quite a large site situated under the BUSM factory, it is currently not in use by the factory.
Don't know much else history wise except it was a shelter during the war. :)

Cheers mateys, was an enjoyable site. Needs a further explore tho as it turns out we missed a big boiler room ! :lol:
 
Oooh i say!!! :) I'll let her know. She's my sister / fellow exploring partner !

It really is in good condition isnt it. Very good place, i can't stop thinking about it !
 
tip top condition that place, I love the painted signs, so carefully done, likewise I really do enjoy old newspapers.

Thanks
 
Looks a bit like our cellar. Brilliant to see all the shleves still intact!
 
Now that looks a cracking shelter, i feel a roadtrip coming on! Nice photos & well found Laura, hope you get back to see the bolier room. :)
 
Hiya Laura! Great shots there especially the Nuts and Bolts! Ahem...!!!... I cannot believe the Shelter is so intact and in such good condition. Well done, good work, I am very impressed!:)
 
One of the best shelters around I recon... good work getting in!

Thats a fine exploring bag ;)

Excellent condition -as has been said before -the signs are especially special. Good photos too (my flash piccies usually end-up pretty naff!) :neutral:
Are those un-used blankets wrapped up in brown paper? Looks like an amazing place :)

I think they were blankets or sheets, they were right down at the back of the shelter and looked pretty old. Shame there isnt more stuff but the things that are there are great, cant wait to go back.
Theres loads we didn't see cos we thought we heard someone in high heels (?!?) which spooked us and we made a swift exit ! ( might have been a ghostie ?? ) :)
 
Its underneath a factory, which is in use, as mentioned, and I expect as part of H&S regs, they require lighting, aswell as the smoke detectors you can see in there too.
