I did visit this bunker a few years ago. A large embankment covered it in Woodlands park. As a kid I was told it was a water supply tank!
 It was fitted out for the Royal Observer corps to mesure radiation after an attack.
 It didn't seem deep enough to me!
It also had on display a W177 Nucleur weapon (training round!)
