    It is amazing, the top half would turn 360 degrees, the workings are still inside, I have more photos if you want to see them.
    Must have been very cosy with two people inside. Bloody cold in the winter.

    Internal mechanism.

    Stands alone, people pass it every day and have no idea what it is!

    A couple of finds from a recent explore. These are in Park Wood near Wells.

    DOB site reference: S0003063 Grid reference ST 554 449
    Badger workings reveal brick, corrugated iron, steel sheet, stone, and wire mesh. Possible Auxiliary Unit operational base.

    This is the escape tunnel and unfortunately all that can be seen of the OB.





    The 'Harry Potter' pillbox

    DOB site reference: S0003064, Grid reference: ST 557 450
    Type 24 pillbox, with brick shuttering falling away. Embrasures had number painted in white overhead.

    Defence grouping : GHQ Line: Green - Stop Line - Burnham on Sea to near Melksham (where it joins with the GHQ Line: Blue) and then north to the River Severn at Newnham. This line is also known as the Bristol Outer Line. Manned by VIII Corps.
    Wells defended locality - Defences of Wells defended locality. Cassini ref. T9866. [Source: Western Area Defence Scheme, 1941 - PRO WO 166/1251].
