the first few minutes the block is i believe a type C receiver,the plinths are for the ventilation and receiving equipment.no generators inside these blocks themselves.the concrete with the steel hoops...anchor points for the camoflage netting.the buttelgate one....at 4,27 &4.40notice the remains of the feeder enterance if front of the entarged door.at the back of the feeder access where usually i think four holes in a square pattern
@RyuuKayobi The cabling ducts in some radar establishments are 3 to 4 feet deep below the floor level. If it was vehicle inspection pits I wouldn't expect them to be connected but to have steps up out of them.
I have been inside the place at 4:25 and it is a large area where i assume they stored vehicles of some kind. It doesn't lead to anywhere but there are small underground crawl-ways where i assume they did repairs on vehicles from underneath. All of these crawl-ways connect together underground. If you want any pictures done of inside just let me know :)
@PhilsTeleTime After looking around some more, i have found that a big piece of ply board was blocking another doorway, that i didnt know was there. I went through the doorway and round the corner was what looked like the start of a tunnel that had been dug out of the rock, but it was filled in with a lot of dirt.
In the 1950's I used to play in and around these buildings. And the gun turrets above the village. We had a great supply of American picture comics (used as protective layers around arms and other goods sent from the USA) , and several of the older boys drove American Jeeps, all left behind when the Yanks went home.
@PhilsTeleTime I don't think they are, because they are big enough to easily go down and move around it. There are also some pipes that go under there as well, but im not sure what they are for.
I live here, both bunkers are houses now, 1 is complete and sympathetically built preserving its origin, both owned by local builders.
Local band used the bunker as a practice room in the mid-70's

in the last bunker now there is a abandoned building site and theres alot of old stuff!
I live in near downderry and I dident know a lot of this stuff
the first block is definitely a receiver type C.the buttlegate one is the powerhouse
@RyuuKayobi I think you'll find your "crawl-ways" are cabling ducts.
