    Arrow HAPPISBURGH GUN BATTERY. NORFOLK. 01/11

    Thanks to DJ OSKA for organising a return visit to the Happisburgh gun battery. It was good to meet shadow ops as well. Great visit as this time we managed to find a small hole and access the underground battery link tunnels and crew quarters. We now know that the origanal battery built in 1939 was further down in the village, this however slipped over the cliff and the new battery was built in 1941. I will leave the history to DJ OSKA as he is making a documentary. On to the pictures.


    Once into the ground this site met us!


    Left hand link tunnel.


    Cable insulators.


    Ventilation.


    Crews quarters complete with bunk frames.


    Original entrance steps and passage.

    Thanks guys
