Visited this as i was in the area looking at anther explore.

A little trashed but still had one bed and the remains of the cupboard. All vents are missing.

History by Wikipedia…

“Royal Observer Corps Monitoring Posts are underground structures all over the United Kingdom, constructed as a result of the Corps’ nuclear reporting role and operated by volunteers during the Cold War between 1955 and 1991.

In all but a very few instances the posts were built to a standard design consisting of a 14-foot-deep access shaft, a toilet/store and a monitoring room.

A third of the total number of posts were closed in 1968 during a reorganisation and major contraction of the ROC. Several others closed over the next 40 years as a result of structural difficulties i.e. persistent flooding, or regular vandalism. The remainder of the posts were closed in 1991 when the majority of the ROC was stood down following the break-up of the Communist Bloc. Many have been demolished or adapted to other uses but the majority still exist, although in a derelict condition.”

Yeah that's been trashed, I always enjoy seeing one though no matter the condition, Thanks
 
Well, this one isn't in too bad condition. I like that cabinet, simple but functional. And that graffiti artist needs a spelling test
