Do you have any more bunker locations available? Thanks Chris, I’ll get my dad to come along with me next time with his detector. Do you have any more bunker locations available?

I don't want to sound like a pest but........ I took my map and my Garmin etrex gps to the grid you gave but couldn't find anything? Is it a similar bunker to the other one in Hendale were you can access the chamber etc or is it just the site of one, but has now had all trace removed? Once again I do apologise but this stuff really interest me. Cheers Steve Hey Chris, thanks for getting back to me. I don’t want to sound like a pest but……..

I'd be interested in visiting the other 2. I've visited the one at Elsham which has a 2 chambers linked by a passageway, one of the chambers has collapsed being constructed from corrogated rust sheets, the other chamber is built of prefabbed concrete like the Hendale one and ones further north that stretch to Barton, they've stood the test of time very well. The northern ones have a single entrance and are rather like an underground air raid shelter - I guess they would have been stores or equipment hides?
