    One of the coolest bunkers I've seen . Amazing how they last so well against the elements.

    The hatch is probably one of the concrete slabs of the proper size outside the observation point.

    I think that was an Anti Air mount, most locations like that usualy had at least one, to protect from bomber fire, or if all else went wrong, invasion.

  • @paulprior3935
    @paulprior3935 8 лет назад

    I remember these when they were at the top.... The one broken in half was the original CHL and the the antenna was mounted on the top the large bolts and ashfelt pads are still there.... The Gererator house was a later edition and buried so as the emissions would not interfere with the radar.... I never worked out the what was on top of the BOP... Probably a range finder as it was the earliest bit... At one time it was disguised as a house... So that could explain the large bolts.

    I remember going in here when it was still on the cliff. The generator controls were still on the wall with a sign saying Lister, the maker of the diesel engines.

    who could honestly say that they would not want one of those bunkers intact in the garden it would make a lovely shed or man cave

    You forgot to mention the uss Montgomery and the sub wreck and raf camp and prison. The battery wae built on approach to Thames as this is the way bombers and v1s flew. Over to London as river was easy to follow on moonlit nights

    This reminds me of a smaller version of Vigsø Beach in Denmark which is littered by 15-20 German bunkers that have fallen from the cliffs.

    @STACEYDUBIST 7 лет назад

    Around the corner westwards there where sound mirrors i saw about 30 years ago going into the mud... You can visit the heritage center in Sheerness as they have some good books like Barbed wire island etc and one by a guy named Alan muscle-white that covers all the downed aircraft on the island... Anyway; lowering the tone, i was sitting by those bunkers when fossil hunting a few years ago and some tall handsome guy walked past as bold as brass completely butt naked; I was like o.m.g, but i did smile...😜😘😘
