Not a huge amount to see in Bexhill, so quite pleased that this small air-raid shelter turned out to be a bit more interesting than expected. I read somewhere that it was also intended to use it as a casualty station in the event of invasion

It stands on a busy road and is gradually being overrun by foliage:

Looking back from inside entrance, small toilet chamber on left, road straight ahead:

Chemical toilet still in place:

Main chamber, with blast walls at each end:

Air vent on outside wall:

Similar layout at other end, with toilet chamber on right & second entrance ahead with original wooden door:

Outside of door with a wooden box of some sort:

Hope you enjoyed this & thanks for looking!
 
a nice find there you got, and un-chav'd considering its on a main road, and the toilets still there. nice one :)
 
10 out of 10 for that! Just proves my point you just got to look a little bit closer!! Just how many people pass that not knowing its there? Well done GF:mrgreen:
 
theres one near some bill boards as you drive up to ore in hastings, pretty much the same kind of placing, on the sid eof a main road!
theres also another one on old london road down towards the old town in hastigns too!
