Hi Guys, im strider from surrey, im new to the site but have been exploring for a while now, done a few sights up to now and thought id share my pictures and fascination with those who are interested.
im gonna start with Deepdene. For those of you who havent been there it was a control centre for the southern Railways during WWII. Southern railways took over the sight during wartime and discovered caves in the hill side, these cave were natural protection and a bunker was built within them.
The lawn between the caves and the house was used as a site for the 99foot mast supporting aerials of the emergency radio.
The network of tunnels included a Control Room, meeting room, 3-position switchboard, battery room, main distribution frame maintainers room, a bedroom for the night officer and an air plant and toilet facilities.
A 60-foot vertical shaft at the rear of the complex provided an air inlet and emergency exit.
and if i can get the pictures to work we can have a look.....
