A small section of a wartime bunker with access door and chimney underneath a building all fenced in and locked up


A wartime secret control bunker for the Southern railways in time of war; discretely hidden under a long permanent way workers buildings with a tall chimney with a very rusty and falling apart flue vent at the top. This secret bunker would have been the control centre for a large part of the railways infrastructure over on the southern acting with the main control centre over at Dorking along the North downs. Now filled with water and very poor in condition.
