Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: World War II range observation shelter near Amberwood, New Forest. This area of the New Forest heathland was used as a bombing range in World War II. This brick built structure with a concrete roof was an observation shelter overlooking the "fragmentation" targets. Apparently the rear is without a wall for easy venting of air pressure caused by the aerial explosion of fragmentation bombs. There is a brick "V" (for victory?) built into the end walls of the shelter. More details can be found in a book by Anthony Pasmore and Norman Parker called "Ashley Walk: Its bombing range landscape and history", published by The New Forest Research and Publication Trust (ISBN 0 9523888 5 5). |
