A friend had pointed this place out to me last week. However, it was overgrown and so I decided to check it out when I wasn't wearing shorts haha. So I went back today.
I've checked online and information for this place seems non-existent. Nevertheless, inside was a poster that identified the bunker as part of the Observer Corps. Also, there was an instrument for measuring radiation levels, a dosimeter.

I have just been directed to this information found from:
http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/roc/db/988381175.012002.html
Date opened- February 1961 and 1975
Date closed- October 1968 and September 1991
Description - LOCKED Having closed in 1968 the post was re-opened in 1975 following the closure of Etwall. The compound fencing survives along two sides, the other two sides being a hedge. All surface features remain intact with the green paint in good condition. There are three steps up to the access shaft. The hatch, which appears to be of an unusual 'local' design with raised hasps at one end and a different internal locking mechanism, is locked. Internally the post is clean but damp with many items remaining in place including instrument table, shelf, cupboard, WB1401 carrier receiver with WB1410 filter unit, Tele-Talk, BPI mount, 4 Jerry cans, 3 mattresses, battery box, two buckets, waste bin, fire blanket in its box, BT connection boxes and wiring, gasket for FSM probe dome, cleaning materials, first aid poster, light, papers, T-pot, kettle, dustpan and brush, bag of post keys, a pair of waterproof trousers, battery leads, plates, bowl, candle holder and a small splint. Since the inspection in 2000 the post has been badly vandalised. Two of the ventilation louvres have been smashed as has the instrument table. The Carrier receiver and its associated equipment have been removed. New padlocks were fitted in February 2003.
