Built in WW2 as a hardened GWR exchange. Pretty much empty inside but still somewhat photogenic and a interesting find as i have never seen photos inside.
The bunker has a entrance and emergency escape both fitted with gas proof blast doors, a what would have been a ventilation plant room and main room next door which im guessing would have once housed telephone equipment.
GWR had many of these type of bunkers built across the region with only a few remaining.
Possibly original graffiti!?
