Bunker After Flooding 1
After being locked out for 3 years we regained access in 2011, only to find the bunker had been flooded. There didn’t appear to be too much damage initially but then the mould, rot and fungus set in. At this point we were locked out again.

Bunker before flooding.
Some pictures of the interior of the bunker when we first gained access in 2008. The lady in a couple of the pictures is Kitty a former WAAF who was stationed in the bunker during WWII. Notice that all of the walls are intact and freshly painted with no signs of damage.
Shortly after these were taken we were locked out of the bunker for a couple of years.
