Disused building, Gleadthorpe Breck Plantation
A disused building amongst the Gleadthorpe Breck Plantation, next to the footpath.
There are many odd, brick built structures in this area that are of WWII age.

There are also several large concrete slabs on top of brick built bases. Could these be standing areas for ordnance and vehicles. There are also many small, shelter-like buildings that could be blast shelters and there are round tanks. Could these have been used to hold water in case of an ordnance explosion. An AA site perhaps? There are rumours of ordnance stored within the tunnels under the Welbeck Estate.
