You could drop a bomb on that crack and it wouldn't fall down! Nothing to worry about.

Amazing structure. Hope he finishes it (eventually!). He's not really "restoring" it any more though is he!

One here for sale a mile off Portsmouth expected to go for around £4 million.

Just up the road from where I lived as a kid, can't believe I never stumbled across it playing in the nearby woods.
Wonder if this is how he funded it. paperbag

There was a bunker in Scotland for sale in the middle of nowhere, would have been perfect for such things!

Am I the only one wondering why you'd buy a bunker only to dig it out?

Not really sure how much market there is for a B&B in the area though.
The smell of bread baking in the bakery next door would be nice though. smile

Just caught up, wow what a project, take my hat off for them to take on the bunker! Yes it needs a lot of cash to complete but what a house/B&B in the end!
