Opened – October 1964
Closed – October 1968Yet another post visited as part of an ‘8 ROC Posts in one day’ tour. We walked right past this one as the compound was totally overgrown. The hatch has been torn off for years but surprisingly it was bone dry inside. Some internal fittings still present such as the bed and no vandalism which is neat. Really nice and peaceful site with fantastic light outside.

As mentioned in my other reports for this day I was experimenting with camera settings (epic fail on most which got deleted ) so apologies for the quality.
Can i have exact directions to roc post pls as live in spalding and will check out I think it’s near fulney somewhere
Hi,
Asking for precise locations is not the done thing to be honest, this information is freely available online if you take a few minutes to look, also if you live in the local area you should also be able to locate it quite quickly just by driving around.
However its Christmas. its not a sensitive location and I’m feeling generous – 52°46’27.39″N 0° 7’11.57″W
🙂
Just been down here today, everything remains amazingly, others have been down.
Have photos
First time down a ROC post
There is one in Luton as u go out to Marsh but was water logged
Assuming you mean the Great Offley post by the A505? Is the lid still open?
Hi, is this still the same. I am interested in the bed for an arts project (we are a non profit organisation). Please get in touch if you have any more information. Thank you
This was over 10 years ago so its unlikely. It’s probably also not a great idea to remove items from places and better to leave intact for future explorers.
Hundreds of sites across the UK have been stripped bare, many for commercial gain, when in fact they are a Time Capsule when left.
I understand your point. On that note, if on your travels you have any information as to the whereabouts of a ‘safe’ one that I can acquire, please get in touch.
Will do.
I’m assuming though they were a standard issue Military Bed so there’s probably thousands of them out there, maybe eBay?
