The Standby Generator Bunker
This week's Saturday Timewatch goes back to WW2. There are still quite a few buildings from that era that stand in and around Ringstead. Two, including this one, have recently been converted into very unusual holiday homes. In this instance, The Bunker was part of RAF Ringstead, a component of the Chain Home radar. That was a coastal early warning system that stretched from Cornwall in the west to Norfolk in the east.
