Civil Bombing Decoy (C Series) DoB ID: e18780
There are internal entrance doorways (minus their doors) to the left and right of the entrance passage. This doorway on the left to the control room appears to retain its original door frame, as does the doorway to the generator room on the right behind the photographer.
SU5746 : Unmarked ruin Almost certainly the remains of the North Waltham WW2 civil bombing decoy control bunker that protected the town of Basingstoke. A combined 'QL' and 'SF' site, together they would have provided both special decoy lighting (QL), and explosive fire effects (SF or Starfish), simulating poorly blacked out residential or commercial areas under attack.
