Bunker 13 have set up a forum for residents of Central Grange.

Announcement :Bunker 13  Suggested Local Shop for Residents of Central Grange. 

As a result of concerns some residents  have raised about the type of customers a local shop sited in the bunkers’  west guard house would attract onto the Central Grange site we at Bunker 13 have  listened to the residents concerns and shelved this idea as a means of  funding ongoing maintenance & restoration of the bunker.

Ballot Results

92% For Bunker 13's vision for a  future for the bunker.

6% For existing plans to mothball the bunker and  leave disused.

2% Spoiled vote  (As stated soon not to  be  residing at  Central Grange as their  house is sold  so it  was deemed unfair for the vote to be counted for  either  option   when deciding the future of the bunker  for existing and future  residents with all the cost implications etc to take into  account) 

 

RAF Blakelaw Was a W.W.II Royal Air Force Fighter command station. It’s location was chosen before September 1938 and a temporary surface station was brought into use by July 1939 to coincide with the formation of 13 group which controlled fighters north of the Humber and throughout Scotland.

The permanent underground bunker was completed and became fully operational on December 3rd 1940 at 23:59hrs.

Site still under construction, much more to come soon.
