NS4277 : Inside the Starfish Decoy control bunker
taken 15 years ago, near to Bellsmyre, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland
Inside the Starfish Decoy control bunker
The rungs lead down from the NS4277 : Starfish Decoy Site - Control Bunker Escape Hatch, Auchenreoch Muir. When entering the bunker from the front, this is the room on the left.
A few years later, the opening at the top was sealed, probably for safety reasons; access to the interior was still possible by means of the front entrance.
