My Wednesday Walk to the World War II Air Raid Shelter
This is my entry to the #wednesdaywalk contest initiated by @tattoodjay.

I went for a short walk to Bailey's Tump in Derbyshire (UK), a fortified base that was used in World War II as a searchlight and gun emplacement.  

At the top end of the base I found an old Stanton air raid shelter.  A small part is missing but most of it is intact.

The remainder of the base is full of hollows where the searchlights and guns were placed.  The searchlights looked out for the german aircrafts.

Over the years the place has become overgrown but thankfully has now been restored.

An information plaque was placed in the field in 2005.

An interesting place to visit. So pleased it wasn't destroyed.

Thank you.

I was there just last week! Matlock? It was so windy that day I couldn't get the drone up for an aerial photo!
