October 1968 closure
Ive lost count of the amount of times ive past this site thinking it was much further from the road than it actually is so with a slower drive past I spotted it easily. Acording to subbrit, 'The hatch could not be opened as the padlock is now very rusty. The owner has left a time capsule below ground in the hope that his grandchildren will break in one day and discover it'.
So I wasent expeting too much!
The site was a pile of rubble with the entrance tower poking above, the hatch hinges had rusted away & the ladder was missing so unless I take a ladder along next time i'm on holiday then its no entry!

Looking down the hatch with some water present.
Night visit in heavy mist!
