The Holbeach bunker (Royal Observer Corps underground observation post), is located on Washway Road, and is a well-preserved example of its type. They were built between 1958 and 1964, in clusters within a small geographical area, sufficient to permit the triangulation of plots. From outside a green metal box (the access hatch) and an associated air vent can be seen. All surface features are intact with a little flaking of the light green paint. A concrete shaft leads down to two doors, one to the chemical toilet and the other to the monitoring room that would have been staffed by three observers. Internally the post is in excellent condition with much of the equipment remaining. The post remained in use until 1991. {1}{2}{3} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 1958 - 1991 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
