In a square compound on the South side of Maxey Road, just West of mound.
LOCKED All surface features remain intact with the green paint in good condition. There is some damage to the access shaft and all the ventilation louvres are missing. A new larger hatch (Torlift) has been fitted (1989) and the top of the shaft reconstructed. The hatch is locked but can be opened with a Torlift key or a large screwdriver. Internally much remains including aircraft photographs, maps, papers, signs, dismantled bunks, folding table and shelf and cupboard. Other items have been removed to the restored post at Dersingham, Norfolk.
A two roomed earth covered structure (probably a shelter) stand alongside. This has no connection with the ROC post. The site was a WW2 decoy airfield and this building dates from this period.
Opened in 1960 and closed in 1991.

The post is open but vandalised. Some debris has been dropped down into the bottom of the shaft. The room is otherwise intact. The hatch is still functional and spring loaded. The beds have gone as well as nearly all of the previous restoration. Only the cabinet remains in situ. There is a neighbouring structure, which I believe was related to the dummy airfield that once occupied the site.

Market Deeping ROC post is in a dangerous state visit with caution. Vandals have ripped off the hatch, and thrown perimeter fence posts down shaft. Ladder has been yanked from walls in shaft not sure how much longer it will hold. And internally everything is trashed. Sad to see what has happened in the space of a few years, some people have no respect.
