Pierremont Park/Gardens Shelter December 2010

Right no actuall history i can find on the shelter itself but here's a bit of history on the grounds its in..

Pierremont Park has a hall and associated gardens of unknown size dating from 1785. The site was purchased by the district council for council use in 1927. The gardens include specimen trees, a fountain and a pergola

The shelter has 2 different types of construction and is only about 15 foot underground so a direct hit wouldn't of been much protection as far as i can see..its in use for the above mentioned gardens as it houses a pump for their fountain..it is locked tight and the main entrance is boarded up as well as padlocked!!

Visited with obscruity ,fortknox0, and uncle bulgaria and was a good little explore..right on with the pics!











I'm assuming original doors













Welded shut i do believe!!



Right thats what it is smal but unchav'd and nice inside..

Nicely lit pictures - I've not seen that precast concrete system before

Neither had we but i was told on uf by someone that its quite common in his neck of the woods which i really cant remember where he was from

some nice photos there mate. It was good to get back in here and see the old girl again. Its something a bit different to the other tunnels in our area which is a pleasent change. Cool to find the light switch too i knew it was there somewhere.
