Re: Military Archaeology
My sister and brother in law were in Scotland last week and loved the country and history and people but said the food was  They really did not like the breadfast meat after they found what it was made of. I forgot the name but it sounded really bad.

Re: Military Archaeology
I read an article in one of the papers yesterday that Berlin's Teufelsberg is to be excavated by archaeologists, but I can't seem to find it online.
Here's a Wikipedia link though

Re: Military Archaeology
The Devil's Mountain rubble mounds. I'm affraid the building is heavily vandalized by now. I'll try to find details, but I remember reading that it would cost a fortune to fix it.

Re: Military Archaeology
Many thanks to all who signed the online petition preserving the grade 2 listed pillbox in Surrey, it looks like people power WON!.
Final decision "REFUSE" 20/6/07
When in Guildford a couple of weeks ago a friend visited the offices and was informed by a young lady on planning that "never was a subject more talked about in their department!"

Re: Military Archaeology
Don't know if this has been posted here before. (It's a rather long thread!)
Excellent site on WW2 & Cold War remnants:
WW2 & Cold War History in Britain.
The Nuclear bomb storage facility attracted me in but the rest is all good stuff too.
Cheers,
Adam.

Re: Military Archaeology
I absolutely love old installations from the Nuke depot at Pease SAC base to the old Roman forts and medieval hill towns of Italy. It is also fun performing military archaelogical digs at estate and yard sales
