I had high expectations to explore some of the well known 'urbex' parts of the Maginot line, but all the entrances that I was able to find out about were well protected with alarms, cameras and gated up.
But I just don't give up just like that and found some nice places still to visit, I want...
History:
This small bunker was built as a small medical outpost for a airfield. Why it was built as an bunker was probably handy for when the airfield was bombed. After the treat of the cold war went away, this place was closed for good.
Explore:
Nowadays this small bunker is surprisingly well...
There were four different types of munitions factory:
Engineering factories producing the metal casings for bombs and shells or, in some instances, producing parts, rifles, guns and tanks.
Small-arms factories producing the bullet casings. (These factories were often existing engineering...
Disclaimer: Some of the images displayed in my album contain anti semitic graffiti. I'm not promoting anti semitism here but am only showcasing what's inside this bunker.

Without knowing what this place was or even the name of it, we decided to explore this place on the same day as another location very close by. Although totally stripped out inside, what an explore it turned out to be!
En route back from RAF Upwood we decided to stop by Cambridge’s Regional War Room, aka RSG4 after developing a somewhat large fascination of bunkers. I was almost not going to bother uploading this due to a lack of pictures and lack of entry at all, however as there are no reports on this place...
Back in 1994 I visited this site when I was helping out with a open day when I was in the cadets. Many years later I was shocked when I found out that you could now get tours around the site and the bunker, so for the last 4 years I have been waiting to get onto one, but each time I have either...
A rare visit from me in the Military section, in fact wasn't sure to post here or in the underground :confused:
This was a opportunity I had to jump on quickly after seeing a report elsewhere and gathering that demolition was about to start. After all, its not every day you can explore a...
Visited very recently this place will be gone in a matter of days I dare say, everything else that was standing on the site has gone; the brick air raid shelters in front of the bunker included!
Having travelled pretty far from home to see something that has less in I was pretty surprised how...
