Explored with Winch It In
Site: March ROC Post - Cambridgeshire Group - July 2010
Opened - July 1961
Closed - September 1991
Explored as part of an 8 ROC Posts in one day tour we were surprised to find this site totally overgrown as supposedly someone had bought this post and was going to restore it, obviously something has gone wrong with this plan!.
The long paving slab path that runs from the compound to steps up to the main road was covered in a thick hedge and the compound itself is several feet high in brambles and nettles. As stated on Sub Brit this post was totally dug up and rebuilt during the 1980's and it shows, the walls and interior are in superb condition and a damp-proof membrane is evident at the base of the hatch. Internally the air vents are of a different design, we couldn't even see the rear, above ground vent due to undergrowth but pictures on Sub Brit show this to be of a different design too. Toilet area was fitted with slatted shelves and the 'desk' seemed different to many other ROC Posts.
I was experimenting with camera settings (epic fail on most which got deleted
) so apologies for the quality on some shots.
