Beaconsfield ROC Post-Bucks Group-Jan 2012

Beaconsfield ROC Post West Side of Broad Lane just south of cemetary. Open June 1958 closed Sept 1991. There is a telegraph pole in the fenced compound. I will add some surface shots soon as it was dark when visited.
When i last visited some years ago the post was locked with padlocks, the post has the MOD security fence and the hedge side facing the roadway has been vaguely secured to stop the casual walker in. The post is graffiti free and at some point has been well repainted. There are a number of water bottles and rubbish inside as well as evidence of an attempt to install 12v lighting. Quite a clean post considering. As ever if you visit take only photographs.Has some of the original features in it

12v?
Thanks for looking.

The tube is not for the BPI its for the Fixed Survey Meter Detector, which would be pushed up all the way into a polycarbinate dome protruding from the pipe on the top side.

All posts had 12v power. The light doesnt look a standard one, but many of the posts had modifications on them.

Thanks for correcting the errors. Comes from us not yet seeing a restored post with all the correct items and equipment in place.

Well you know where to find one
