Deep in the woods
I might have this completely wrong. However, I reckon this old, disused shed might have started life elsewhere during World War 2 as an air raid shelter. Apart from a nearby airstrip, Portland Harbour and Dockyard are only about one hour away by road. There must surely have been many such shelters in the surrounding urban areas of Portland and Weymouth.
To narrow this down I think it may have been an Anderson Shelter, with a modified entrance door when it became an agricultural or forestry store shed.
Any thoughts on the subject are welcome!
