roc post

Nestled in a hedgerow in Westleton is this delicious ROC bunker, built in 1958 and used until 1991. It was locked for a long time - likely why it is in such good condition for a bunker - but has been unlocked since 2016. Me and the boys gave it a cheeky visit in June 2021, heaving open this big...

This is a shorter report than the former reports on the Sowerby Bridge R.O.C Post. Since June 2018 (the date of the last report) the post has been devastated by vandalism. The main room has had all of the panels ripped off the walls and ceilings. The Royal Observer Corps sign has been ripped...

Fairly new to all this, I have always been fascinated by underground bunkers of any type. So long as I can get underground I'm in to it! Anyway whilst researching bomb shelters I came across a list of ROCs. Within a couple of weeks I have investigated four posts. Kilkhampton (sealed and left...

I hade never heard of a ROC Post and stumbled on a video of a couple of guys who pretty much only explore these. Its not something I am goibg to go out of my way to find anywhere but definitely worth a visit to one if you can fnd and open one. The last report on this ROC Psot that I can find...

took a trip to this post after work one morning in good condition but the metal door at the top of the shaft is not secure. nice view into Oxfordshire and didcot

Cinema was sold out tonight so decided to head to Birdsall ROC post..... What a disaster! The hatch has now had a heafty locking mechanism put in place and there is no access at all.

Date of visit: 11/01/2020 Apologies in advance for the possibly awful photos. I don't have a fancy camera, just my phone and this is my first "documented" exploration into something other than a few Pillboxes and abandoned houses.) Information provided by Subbrit.org Post opened: 1960 Post...

This is a short animation I created to show how an ROC post would have operated had the unthinkable happened. Thankfully it never did!

Thought I would share this as I cant seem to find many recent posts only old posts from 2008. This roc was a 91 closure and I was quite surprised that's it was still in relatively good condition. access was easy and it was unlocked there are still bits and Bob's down there like loo roll, soap...

In rurual Mid Devon sat in a field, out of sight from the road that runs parrael, is an underground ROC Post. The ROC Post has a green lid to it which is not locked. After uncovering the lid there is a small shaft with a metal ladder decesending into the bunker. The post is not huge in size but...

In a compound in north london, it has a low fence around the ROC post, but thats easily climbed as its not very tall. The site is locked and also a padlock is chained and welded to the hole where you put torkey in, and the padlock is also gunked up with stuff inside. The condition of the post...

(repost due to old thread being deleted due to link to images expiring) Visited at the time with my Canon 7D SLR, (first outing of the time for the camera) Post closed in 1991, has been restored at some point, i have visited once since these pictures taken by me in 2015 and the post has...

Hi guys, First post here, so be gentle! I was hoping to get in to this one today, but we were unfortunately too late. The hatch has been sealed with concrete. It's not brand new concrete, but it looks like it's been sealed for good year or so. Apart from that the exterior is still in good...

I have decided to update my post on my ongoing search for info regarding the Nuclear Monitoring Post that was situated on the West side of Frog Hall Lane, in Hadleigh, Suffolk. With new information I can now update everything I know. The Royal Observer Corps in the Second World War were of...

Back on my mission to report the non-reported ROC Sites. Only One Picture, but still interesting. This is Post Woolverstone. According to SubBrit opening July 1961 and closing September 1991. It is situated Between Woolverstone and Chelmondiston, on the west side of Bylam Lane which is off the...

Many People who love Urbex or History like this often have the Blessing of an ROC Post near where they live, as originally they were around every 10 miles apart. However a large majority of Nuclear monitoring Posts being demolished, many do not know what or where their nearest sight is. I have...
