We depart at this venue from our usual investigations within places of old history to this site, a relatively young place but one that for some reason sees its’ fair share of paranormal activity.
RAF Holmpton actually began life as an early warning radar station in World War Two and was then known as RAF Patrington. A little later a ground control interception center, akin to those you’d see in the film ‘The Battle of Britain’ was built nearby at Sunk Island, Patrington.
However RAF Holmpton really came into its own during the cold war period when it was built up to become a master control radar station. By the late 1950’s it incorporated many off shoots of the general facility in the immediate area and a vast bunker to be 35,000sq feet of command centre was constructed, secreted deep beneath the ground. There are many rooms including operation rooms, a community centre, computer rooms, a command pit, dormitories, officers mess, plant room, and other ancillary rooms with long dark tuinnels separating them. Only the guard room on the surface gives an indication of much really being here, yet 15,000 personnel have passed through this establishment, some seemingly still in residence within these walls. Dare you follow us in to the depths of RAF Holmpton’s hidden parts….
