Report - Ground zero

[Fatherandsonexplore]

In the event of the country becoming occupied during WW2, it would have been the task of the Auxiliary Units Special Duties Organisation to coordinate a sabotage. To aid this, a series of secret dugouts were established in rural areas, these would have radioed information to the cluster Zero Station, which in turn would have reported back to the H.Q. in Hannington, Wiltshire. Zero Stations were operated by women of the ATS, and were built to roughly the same design of a shallow bunker with two rooms and an escape tunnel. Many of these bunkers have collapsed over time, but the one near Hollingbourne in Kent, remains in good condition.

Always good to see an old shelter and thanks for posting

...However some info about the place and where it is etc is required here, the title "Ground Zero" isn't very useful!

Please could you edit the thread accordingly

Agree with Ojay with the points made, however it’s still good to see and enjoyed looking at the photos!

where it is etc is required here,

Looks like Hollingbourne Zero Station

This could be a good report if the above was done

Hi it’s In hollingbourne as stated in post, and after reading the beginners info it’s says not to give exact location, I’m confused

 

[Ojay]

Yeah it could do with a slight re-wording that thread title thing, think it was user @Oort who posted it originally

The one me and Bertie did was a little further West than this one.

The general gist is that you can name the place assuming it's already got a 'proper' name. Just picking an example of a local one to me, I'd report it as Brinksway Air-raid shelter, because that's the correct name for it, but what shouldn't be done is the noting of access points, either in text or showing blatant photos.

Its the Hollingbourne Zero Bunker.
