    This ROC Post cold war bunker is located at Blean in kent. This post opened in September 1966 and was closed in 1976 when the nearby Herne Bay post became operational again.
    This i believe is owned by the woodland trust and they keep it locked and preserved, though the post is completely stripped of fittings sadly.
    This is a great thing they are doing and hope to see more refurbishment and opened up to the public in the near future.

    Climbing a tree to hide from the farmer !!! As usual and excellent video, and it is so good to see people prepared to preserve these buildings for posterity. They should all have a Grade and be listed..great one !!!!!

    I concurr with you, about preserving sites like that. They are a very important part of our history, that should not be forgotten.

    Interesting detail shown with the close up of the drainage around the hatch cover. Wouldn't that ice up badly in winter so that the door would not open? The historic placque is a nice feature that shows that somebody cares about keeping this site in good shape.

    That's an incredible complete bunker must be worth trying to find the key holder explaining your respect and documentation f them. Listed building would be a good idea.

    You could've parked in Dargate, there's a public footpath right up to it. It is open to the public on certain times of the year- last april, it was open and a there was a talk about it too.

    They did an open day here last summer where they opened it up but didn't put any kit down the or anything. You guys should go down to Cuckfield ROC for one of their open days because they kit the whole place out

    Not sure if you have been to Hastings, on the top of what's called the Fire hills, Hastings country park you will find a cold war bunker just the same as this one, it did have a green fence around it. have not put the full part of the country park its in as it's in great condition, like you it needs to stay that way. Don't know if your aware of the place. great video again.

    Another great videl Ian👍 Wonder if the trust will fully restore this bunker? as it would be great to have more being restored and not trashed😠😠😠 As i think there is only 5 fully restored bunkers at the moment 2 get opened up for tours not sure about the others

  • @zipshed
    @zipshed 8 лет назад

    This one seems to be still well taken care of. I bet if you could find the key holder and get in it would be very well preserved!

    • @IKS-Exploration
      @IKS-Exploration  8 лет назад

      +Wally Weener I believe the interior is stripped of all fittings but that was before the woodland trust took over, might be restored inside :)

      +Fading Mist up to 2008 the post was stripped of all fittings, but as the post has been locked with a new hatch it my be refitted and opened to the public at times :) will look into this :)

    For some reason the music you used reminded me of Threads (saw that on youtube a few years back, jolly viewing I must say) and those unintentionally terrifying public information films, which incidentally had music composed by one of the people who made the incidental music for 70's and 80's Doctor Who. But mainly, these places always remind me of Threads. In the event of a worst case scenario, how long would the provisions have lasted in a typical bunker?

    The post hasn't been restored inside or outside. The woodland trust have just started to look after it to make sure it doesn't get any worse. It is totally empty.

    "Protection order" "site of special importance " "listed site,-grade 1-2" just a few examples of ways to make sure the sites remain the same , people have to inform the right people to get these sites protected , sometimes it will take hours of phone calls and possibly a site visit with so which ect, I would urge anyone who knows if such sites to get on the phone to your local councils and explain what you know and where it is ect, out the time and effort into getting your known sites protected , hopefully stoping future planning applications from destroying the sites, because once the sites are destroyed they are lost for ever!. So get on that phone, buildings features any site if interest, thus goes fir wildlife "homes " also! Take care ya all! Have a merry Xmas and a good new year to follow! James ... (Cheers Ian , Chris , and extended familys!)

    well preserved exterior on this one a bit disappointing that you could not film inside but then if you cant get in neither can the idiots with the spray cans and matches.

    Next video you should try and get permission to enter the bunker to record if they're refitted inside. That would be interesting...

    • @IKS-Exploration
      @IKS-Exploration  8 лет назад +1

      +Jiraiya_Ero_Sannin it's only recently been locked up, the hatch was hanging off in 2008.

    They all should be sealed up so idiots don't go in and destroy it.. How ever you should be able to attain the key to have a look which would be cool

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the interior of this one is disappointing. I did it about 2 years back. Stark bare, with nothing but an old gas bottle in the corner and some unrelated crud in the Elsan closet.
