Looking for a Cold War Royal Observer Corps 5 man bunker in Bradfield.

O/S Grid reference - SU60277124

Looks like this from the surface

And this is a cut away of the bunker

Disused and in excellent condition I then have somewhere to go to defend the realm and to live when the war to end them all breaks out in the near future.

excellant choice, the entrance looks very similar to a bunker on an abandoned airfield about a mile away from my house

They are scattered across the whole of the UK, tiny things and unless you happened to stumble across it by accident you wouldn't know it was there.

I bet if you look here you will find one no more than 10 miles from your house.

Andy & Cosmo will need to fight over ownership of their bunker. I wonder if the telephone lines in the bunkers are still wired up to the exchange?

They are sealed by a padlock on the hatch, they were observor corps post not military so they don't have big presurised blast doors, a crow bar will break pad locks
