Hi,
Anyone else here into exploring old defences etc?
I was involved in the Defence of Britain Project, which was run by the Council for British Archaeology and collected details on surviving anti-invasion sites from WW2. These are now on a database accessible on the web (just type "Defence of Britain").
The project also collated records on other military sites in Britain from the 20th century, but as far as I know these are not online yet.
I have several ww2 sites on the National Monuments Record for Scotland, and a friend and myself are now searching for Auxiliary Unit underground bases in Central Scotland to add them to the NMR.
I'm a member of the UK Fortifications Club and usually get involved in surveying some site or other in the summer months.
Never been to the continent to see any sites there, but one day!
Anyone else do anything similar?
Regards,
Gordon
