Visited with Smileysal.
For the life of me I can't seem to find out any history on this place, as much as I can find is it started life around 1942 and finally closed around 2002.
Anywho, the place is absolutely massive and it must have taken us around four hours to see pretty much everything, the site sprawls in all directions, tardis like dormitory blocks and the Trident club, room after room, in typical MOD fashion stripped nearly bare.
There are a few reminders of its former life though including a few bits of paperwork here and there. Proteus has been used more recently as an airsoft gaming site, evidence of which is all over the place.
Well worth a visit if you're in the area, I thought it was great.
The Trident Club, try as we might, we couldn't get a drink for love nor money...
Was a great way to spend an afternoon!!
