Question - Norfolk bunker

[Dorathenewexplorer]

Hi guys im new here for a long while ive been trying to find an answer to my childhood question when i was younger i remember going to a quarry more specific Bawsey near Kings lynn norfolk and remember seeing an entrance to a bunker throughout the years i couldn't find it again, so the question is any locals got any pictures or heard stories of the bawsey bunker even better got any ideas where the second entrance could be as im sure bunkers got more than one exit and entrance via air ventilation or an emergency exit.

I got strange looks when I asked about bawdy bunker. It's not the place I thought.

I think people are getting confused with Bawdsey. I have never heard of a bunker near Bawsey. Was it just a small air raid shelter maybe, near the quarries.

I doubt it was i remember the big entrance that was back then filled with sand so i assume local authorities have filled it, walking through the forest you can find random pipes sticking out and i know in one place you can hear the hollow ground beneath if you hit it with a large stick im surprised theres nothing mentioned about it anywhere

Steel doors thick enough to withstand a nuclear blast are unlikely to open for the forseeable future.

I think that one is owned by the council and they open it up now and again if I remember rightly.

Can't say I have honestly heard of a big bunker at Bawsey. But will do some hunting about.

This is the only possible thing I could find on a bunker in Bawsey in the woods,possibly A military install with an air raid shelter

Little update i have found the remains of the entrance i remember it before it got fully welded and overgrown and that was only about 5-6 years ago! im not a bunker expert but isnt it a bit too big to be just an old air raid shelter ? And then again the random pipes in the ground all over the woods old ventilation or remainder of the old military camp ?
