Druridge Bay part 2

Part 1 can be found here [ame]http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=18508[/ame]

The next port of call for me was slightly further North from the last report

WW2 aerial photo showing the next targets


Firstly to the type 24 in the dunes


as you can see the entrance is covered by a blast wall of sorts






Getting the internals was fun I had to lie flat on the sand and squeeze through the doorway

Metalwork still round the embrasure




The shifting sand of the dunes over the last 70 years has covered this embrasure

Sadly there was no trace of the bombing range direction indicator and the only traces of the accommodation block was these





the remains of the unknown building turned out to be what looked like the roof of a pillbox but I'm not 100% sure







Moving further North (I haven't an aerial photo for these)

Lozenge Pillbox


entrance










Some more beach scaffolding


And even more anti-tank blocks (there are hundreds still left along the beach)


Right I'll post the next lot shortly

Cheers for making it this far

Funnily enough Rich I have one of them folding camping spades but never thought to take it with me, mind you I'd probably have ended up digging the whole lot out and not just enough to get inside

I often get tempted especially the beach ones lol its so frustrating wanting to see the whole things

your not wrong there mate I hate to see them full of sand or rubbish

that unknown in your pics would be a good one to start with like the trooper ava as well

too right there was a rabbit hole at the side of it which didn't give anything away, I stuck my camera down it and pushed the shutter button but couldn't make out anything from the picture, but hey it was worth a shot
