Description
Royal Observer Corps monitoring post opened November 1957 and closed September 1991. In 1998 all surface features remained intact. The interior was not inspected (B1).
Photos added to Subterranea Britannica website suggest that the interior was subsequently inspected in 2008, 2009 and 2012 (B1).
In November 2021 the Subterranea Britannica website reported: 'The post has now been secured, however it has also suffered severe damage to all of its external features. The mound around the post has been removed as well as the rear vent shaft, the BPI pipe has been mangled and there has been some damage to the concrete around the hatch' (B1).
