Brassington ROC Post, Longcliffe, Derbyshire - March 2010
Visited by Ojay, Diehardlove & Fazy_Uk.
Whilst in the area I asked D.H.L if there were local ROC posts, as I haven't experienced one yet. Within minutes we arrived here at Longcliffe where there is the usual underground ROC post, but also a second WW2 brick post further uphill, which having tried to find some history on it turns out that it's one of only 2 surviving examples left in the country.
Naturally we took a look at both of them.
The underground post has had it's hatch damaged, and also was slightly flooded at the entrance and quite trashed inside, however a number of items were still reasonably intact:
Bunkbeds, Toilet, paperwork, desk, chair, cannisters, partial telecoms etc..
Hatch
'32 Post'
Used to pump waste to the surface
Toilet
Into the Command Room
Inside the Command Room, complete with Bunkbeds & Telecoms
Battery maintenance
Peace through NATO
WW2 brick post, complete with aircraft observation
Inside

Thanks for looking
