Bolton On Dearne HAA Battery

[RichCooper]

Finally got around to doing the local HAA site.Its been done before but not for a couple of years so heres an update.Its been described as overgrown and full of rubbish but apart from the usual flooding I thought its was in reasonable condition

DOB description "Site is intact but in poor condition. Four 1941 pattern gun pits and a standard command post survive but heavily overgrown. A single Nissen type hut which may be original exits to the north of the gun pits."
