In a rectangular compound at the end of a line of telegraph poles 100 yards north of an un-named minor road and 200 yards east of Claylands Farm.
OPEN All surface features remain intact with some flaking of
the light green paint. An aerial mast bracket and a metal dome on the ventilation shaft indicates this was a master post. A car battery probably the post battery and the Orlit door lie in the compound. The hatch is locked but can be opened with a Scottish ‘T’ bar key. Internally much remains
including the table, shelf, cupboard, WB1401 carrier receiver and WB1410 filter unit, floor standing Dexion shelf rack, BT junction boxes and wiring, corner shelf above battery position, BPI mount, light, mirror, 1 mattress, 5 cushions, broom, FSM probe gasket, tins of paint, rope, battery box, battery table, Tele-talk, light at the bottom of shaft, candle holder, dustpan, fuse box and a teapot.
An aircraft post of type Orlit ‘B’ stands behind the post. It is in good condition but there is some damage to the internal partition wall and the entrance door is detached.
Opened in 1961.

The ROC post is now unlocked - the hatch has been ripped off. On the exterior of the post it it in good condition with flaking green paint with the BPI (Bomb Power Indicator) mount still intact. Near the BPI mount there is a concrete slab in the ground with two metal bars sticking out which was probably a plinth for the post generator or an aerial base. The fence line around the compound is now gone and just three wooden supports still stand.
Internally much still remains inside of the bunker with a lot of artefacts including: the original cupboard, the original chemical toilet, a table with documents on it, the wood to hold up the cables is still intact, wooden brush, Dexion shelf rack, The original mattresses and blankets, paint pot, rope connected to the ladder, fuse box, dustpan, teapot, with the original BT junction boxes, light bulbs, small mirror, And wireing, and the sump pump still intact.
The orlit ‘B’ is still standing with the ladder still intact on the inside of the orlit post nothing remains just a electrical box, wires, and some wood with bolts secured in probably a mount for one of the instruments. Otherwise all that the ROC post is in good condition and my favourite one yet!
