Opened in 1959 and closed in 1991, it's an absolutely fantastic ROC post, with many original features intact.

It was quite the cold evening and my second outing with a DSLR which i thoroughly enjoyed, here are a few pictures from my visit.

The hatch and all the surface features remain intact although the beige paint is flaking:

Internally, it's absolutely fantastic and many original features remain, although display boards with photographs detailing the history of the Royal Observer Corps indicate this post has had open days.

I have been here. Better to ask the farmer for permission, he is a nice chap and doesn't mind opening at all. Going in at night like this will discourage him from allowing others to see it and he will lock it up which is a shame.
If this was a permission visit, please ignore the above.
