On a thin strip of land between the access road to a council waste disposal depot and a railway line.
OPEN The ventilation shaft is reduced to a pile of rubble and the top of the FSM pipe is missing. All the ventilation louvres are missing. The access shaft is intact and the hatch is open. The counterbalance weight is missing. Internally the post is severely fire damaged with everything covered in soot. The cupboard (doors missing), shelf and a siren box are the only items remaining.
Opened in 1964 and closed in 1968.

Assumed demolished. No trace of anything above ground as far as I can tell. The building & cell tower nearby are abandoned though. Nothing really interesting inside so I’m unsure if they are related to the nearby ROC post.

Visited November 2024, not demolished as previous update suggested.
As originally described, hatch is locked.

When past the roc post today it remains locked and has been vandalised further than my last visit to area.
Large concrete slab I never noticed before next to the ROC post, possibly something to do with old RAF base or modern. Not sure.
