Building record TR 23 NW 235 - Royal Observer Corps (ROC) Underground Monitoring Post, Folkestone
Summary
Underground ROC post for monitoring nuclear explosions and fallout built in the 1960's when an earlier post on the cost was abandoned due to unstable ground (TR 23 NW 234). Weathered due to its location but generally in good condition. Now locked, but thought to be still fully furnished.
