Chard ROC Post

CHARD - ST:30901 09134 Site Visited: July 6, 2000.

Could this be an "Orlit Post" ?

Looks like the building was here before the underground bunker!

Apart from a concrete slab missing at the top of the steps, it's in quite good condition.

Note the GZI mount.

Mind your head on the way in!

View looking back towards a small covered area - which is located just at the top of the steps.

A close-up view of the GZI Mount, set at just about head-height.

The structure of this building suggests that there was no roof, or that there was some kind of removable one.

Another view, this time from the back - facing the road entrance.

View looking down from the Orlit Post of the compound & entrance hatch for the underground bunker.

The compound is very overgrown and has been used for a bit of fly tipping!

The hatch has been vandalized and is no longer secure.

Both locks are intact but both clasps have been smashed or chiseled off.

No GZI Mount.

The bunker appears to be dry.

However, looking down the entrance shaft there are signs that a fire has at some time been lit. All the walls are very black with soot.

There are also signs that the bunker has been used for "other" activities - one of them being the firing of air guns!
