GPO PR1 Protected repeater - Portsmouth

GPO PR1 Protected repeater - Portsmouth.

Date:   December

Location: Portsmouth

Demolished:  No

This bunker is one of only eight constructed between 1951 and 1956. When I first discovered it, I didn’t know what it was and couldn't gain entry. As a result, I could only take exterior shots of it.

It is rumored that there is an air raid shelter in Broom Hill Park; however, no evidence has been found to support this claim. While searching for these alleged shelters, I came across what appeared to be covered objects, but I was unable to lift them.

The Round View Tower is a well-respected fortification located in Portsmouth, and it has received a grade one listing. It is open to the public and easy to explore. During our visit to this historical site, we also checked out the nearby arcades. If you're ever in the area, be sure to experience this significant piece of Portsmouth's history.

Colonial House - Medway

Colonial House 

Date:   October

Location: Medway

Demolished:  Yes

According to reports, the Colonial House was a building valued at £35 million, but it only served its purpose for a limited time. In 2018, it was approved for demolition to make way for new housing in the area. Unfortunately, I was unable to explore the interior of the building and could only walk around the exterior due to tight security. The building was eventually demolished, and new structures now occupy the site as of 2018.

River Lavant Tunnel, Chichester

Date:   October

Location: Chichester

Demolished:  No

There is very little known about the history of these tunnels, but they are prone to flooding during bad weather or high tides. I will not go back to this particular set of tunnels again, as they were extremely creepy when I explored them. All I could think about was the possibility of getting trapped or being chased down the tunnels. I believe they might just be storm drain tunnels.
