I lived in Whitby for 4 Years and din't know this place exsisted. However I was in Whitby recently to see some friends and go on a few explores.
Apologies in advance for lack of photos or arty exposures, wind was blowing offshore between force 6 and 7 (42-50mph) and if I let go of the tri-pod if would have been blown away. Drizzel has also rouined some of them.
This is Goldsborough Rotor bunker. It's a small single level bunker. At one time this would have been a very secret place, desquised as an ordinary family bungalow. It now lies forgotten in ruins.
It was in good condition about 5 years ago but then the guardhouse was trashed and set alight. Some of it remains and the bunker was sealed up untill recently. I woudn't expect the average chav to think it's anything more than just an 'abandoned house' but it seems the've worked out the floor is hollow (the hatch may have been revealed in the fire) and part of it has been broken away by force. The entrance stairwell/tunnel and subsiquent bunker complex is unfortunatly flooded.
The Hatch
Damaged flooring revealing flooded complex below.
The best photo I could get by tri-poding the camera through that hole on self-timer. The wall and ceiling covering is the same to that found in other ROTOR bunkers and ROC HQs, this leades me to belive this is the entrance stairwell/tunnel entrance. You may also notice that the water level has been higher than current.
