A great set of videos for this place, thanks.
At 2.23 you guys were staring up the ventilation shaft for the two horizontal lathes/turning benches. Very cool workshop!
Another awesome video. Thank you. I think we need a whole video of just Ian in high places. Almost speechless at the top of the tower. I hate heights as well. It's just funny as heck to watch.
Thanks guys liked all three episodes this is so interesting stuff thumbs up
That was an epically epic series there. keep em coming.
Fab video guys. Thanks. .......
This 3 parter has been amazing very interesting location. love your logic Chris on things your probably pretty spot on though.
Very cool video from one of my favorite exploration channels. Yeah, it is a shame how we neglect our history like this but fantastic that you record and explore this history. Keep up the good work!
It would be nice if the original plans could be accessed that show the layout of these old military installations! The hoist was to lift ammunition into the gun area! The board held several rounds and the shells would have been rolled onto the alignment piece then lifted!
Those tanks are used to condense steam back into water for supplying the steam power generation system! That is why the water is quarantined from the ground by heavy iron or steel, so it could not seep and damage the water table! They would have had a water source that would have also been pumped by steam in a separate area, drinking water can only be stored where they can utilize gravity to feed water to different areas from a massive 20,000-100,000 gallon tank!
Very well done guys. Love this stuff.
Excellent! That brought back some happy memories. A friend of mine filmed there a lot in the late 1990's with a high point being his exploration of the long workshop tunnel, using a hand held flare to light his way - it looks spectacular, and no, he did no damage to any of the structures - like you, he respects history. It is a confusing site, and Sub Brit did have a great map, where if you clicked on a detail, it would show a photograph of the real item. Sadly, for me, that map appeared long after I had stopped visiting the site. We always kept well away from the houses by the old RADAR tower, by the way, as someone there was always on watch for people on the site of the battery. After the complaints the other week about your 'clickbait' title, I would have deliberately titled this something like: 'Huge Abandoned Gun Battery (We Found A Dustpan)'...As always, nice one gents - your videos are among the very few on youtube that I actively look forward to seeing, it's always quality, fascinating, and fun content. Cheers!
It's a fair bet that the water tank at the beginning of the video was mainly to store water for fire fighting,
5:16 made me chuckle 😂 Really enjoyed all three parts of this, thanks for sharing chaps 👍
Ian, have you got a book entitled Pillboxes of Britain and Ireland by Mike Osborne ? You will find lots of info on all types of bunkers. With some location information on existing examples.
Could it have been a range finder and the metal parts could have been sliding shutters
Another spectacular historical video thank you for sharing that place is big..👍cheers.😉
This site hasn't been messed with so much I wonder when it was last abandoned by the powers that be ?
last time i was this early i still had the will to live lol
7.33 two horse concrete barn. Two piece doors and grain feed trough.
Super cool one!
Be safe Lads....Wish i were there..
Have you guys ever thought about taking metal detectors to these sites to look for lost war relics?
The sloping slab in front of the gun position is called the GLACIS... Armoured vehicles also have these. To deflect incoming ...
Good stuff. Interesting to watch.
that last clip of the video them last building kind of shelters there is a radar tower next to them tomorrow is the last day off this year its open to the public it still has the radar still inside
Great Stuff!! Hello from Nebraska USA
+Bear Smith hello from Dover Kent uk :) thanks for your support :)
great stuff guys
Thanks for sharing.
Well that brings back memories my old stomping ground we lived in Barrack Lane in one of the officers houses the end one to the lane back in the late 70s that was our playground as kids.
Ian, get Chris a better torch as a Christmas present.
Now this was great keep the film s comming
Cool history :D
Those shopping trollies and remains of cables will probably be the work of the local junkies/homeless extracting the valuable metals to gain funds from the metal recycling merchants to help feed their habit. They gather as much metal as they can using a shopping trolly as a beast of burden, burn what they do not require leaving behind the metal.
Ian's face at height = 52 shades of grey :-)
Ahh what? Fenced off now? I live in this county and was going to visit in October. Gutted :( awesome vids though!
Nice
5:45, not necessarily WW1, i have a jerry can embossed, "WD 1954".
You guys should get some boots i can see potential accidents in them ugly trainers you both wear 😂 love the vids guy keep em coming
At 10:36, you all inquired about the small storage areas, like the one with the remains of the old seal. They were known as the ready ammunition lockers in our military. They would have had the projectile in one and the powder bags or casing, in another. So far you have not said much about the history of this installation, such as the size of the artillery pieces that were used there and whether the pieces had been fired during WW II. or anything about the uses prior to the war... - . - . . - . - .. Where I live on the Pacific coast we have the old Fort Stevens, while all of the 8 & 10 inch guns were removed they left an old ship mounted 5" 38cal DP turret in place. Fort Stevens was the only military installation in the states to be fired on during the war. A submarine surfaced and shelled he facilities but the only damage was to the backstop at the ball field if I remember my history right. Fort Stevens is kept up as a State Historical Park. It is a shame to see such an historic site in your country be left to fall into disrepair. So far I am enjoying your videos, keep them coming. Be safe in your explorations and visit and film more historical sites in your country... - . - . . - . - .. //es//A Proud Honorable Disabled American Veteran, 1965-1994 - Combat Medicine and Pharmacy.

No no. It's not ..Yes No Goodbye, I've heard the Beatles song; it's Hello Goodbye.
Why so many shopping trollies?
