HAA Battery Humber H32 Old Ellerby

This one has definitely been cleaned up a bit by someone since the 2007 GE overheads Cleanest control bunker I've seen yet.Care needed if you ever visit though as the site is full of beehives.

Apart from thousands of Bees it was a nice mooch

I do love a good HAA and this looks very tidy. Looks like the revised design of gun emplacement.

I cannot help wondering what thought process was used to position these batteries.
In the middle of nowhere, No canals, railways or roads in sight. Just fields.

Its only a couple of hundred yards from the nearest road

Very careful thought processes which are obvious if you look at maps and layouts and take into account things that no longer exist now that did in 1940. Also what you generally don't see now are the support camps that surrounded them which would have extended towards whatever road it was built near.

Nice work there mate

Glorious concrete porn there Rich,I take it the metal loops were for holding camo nets
