Bigland Barrow

I brought my swimming friends up to the Bigland Look Out Tower for their post swim, post breakfast walk. Nell the dog is looking up at her owner with a worried expression. . I forgot to include a tree for Joe Tree but there are a few twigs in the picture. 

According to Mr Google - it is a relatively rare relic of the Cold War in the shape of an ‘Orlit B’ ROC Post. These pre-cast concrete structures were installed in the early 1950s and would have stationed the Royal Observer Corps in the event of a nuclear attack on the UK. With its wooden roof it would have offered negligible protection had the bomb dropped nearby and within a couple of years they were declared obsolete, a new network of over 1500 underground shelters built up and down the country instead.  This is all that's left.
