This set of three gauges shows the heat of the air being pumped into rooms throughout this underground war bunker. The signs above them list the rooms that are being fed, and the left ones goes up to 39, showing how many rooms were in this facility. though by my reckoning this is also inclusive of toilets and cupboards etc.

Fort Amherst is located at the entrance of St. John’s Harbor opposite Signal Hill across the Narrows’. The Fort was built in the 1770’s to defend the entrance of the Narrows’. Gun placements were used at The Fort during WWII to protect the harbor from German U-boats. In 1813 a lighthouse was built at Fort Amherst and was to be the first permanent lighthouse established in Newfoundland. It operated until 1835 but was then replaced by a new structure in 1852, which was demolished in the early 1950’s to make way for the new lighthouse which is seen today. / More in this series / / / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography

The Cape Spear Lighthouse has been a guiding beacon for sailors since the mid 1800’s. This was only the second light to offer aid along any of Newfoundland’s rocky coasts, even though the island had at the time been populated for two centuries. / During the Second World War, Cape Spear took on a whole new significance. German submarines and raiders off the coast of the Island posed a considerable threat. A coastal defence battery, equipped with two 10” guns was constructed here to protect the entrance to St. John’s Harbor. The gun emplacements were built at the tip of the Cape and connected by underground passages to magazine and equipment rooms. From 1941 to 1945, troops were stationed here. With the end of hostilities in 1945, most of the fortifications were demolished but the gun emplacements stand as a sombre reminder of that important period in our military history / Visitors to Cape Spear in the spring and summer months should watch for whales, icebergs, and seabirds. / / Matted Print / / / / / More in this series / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography /

A wider version of this lovely bay.

I imagine this room once contained other furniture to keep this wee little chair company, but not any more. He sits alone in the middle of the room looking out towards the door wondering where all his buddies have gone, now its just him and the light fittings in here, and everyone knows how stuck up they can be!

I took this shot in the ruins of Fort Amherst. The old fort that was once defended the city of St. John’s from German U-boats entering the harbor now boasts only 2 abandoned guns, crumbling walls & stairs encased in years of salt blowing in off the sea and this mysteriious lady. Was she a war heroes girl or just a portrait of a moderrn day graffiti artists sweetheart? / / A History of the Fort / / Fort Amherst is located at the entrance of St. John’s Harbor opposite Signal Hill across the Narrows’.

This is the emergency light controls at an abandoned war bunker, i imagine these would work if i was to press the switch as the batteries are still in place to power these, i didnt want to try it though as i was sneaking about in this place. Who knows, i might give it a try one day on the way out if i visit again.

A close up view of a couple of the batteries at the abandoned war room. I had been hoping for these to be full with acid so that the emergency lights would work, but alas it was not going to happen, they are empty. EDIT: A comment reminded me, the service log laying next to these informs me that these were last service in 1968, so no wonder theree is no acid remaining

This is the main power and control for the “Adams Patented Automatic Sewage Ejector” Im not entirely sure how this thing worked, but there was quite a pool of evil looking stagnant water in the bottom of the pit behind it, definitely something to be avoided. I cant be sure, but i think the white crystalline formations on the coils here have something to do with the battery room which is just across the hall, as there was a lot of stuff in there covered in these crystals as well.
-
This the control panel for the air filtration units in the war bunker, i love the missile launch style protective cover over the stop button but then the power switch below it is unprotected which makes the whole cover a bit redundant really.
-
Looking down into the operations room again here, i really do love this room, heh.

I can only imagine that there were not many woman working in this war bunker when it was in operation, because this room would only squeeze in two single beds at a push, 4 if you used bunk / cabin beds. I’m guessing that the woman here were probably mainly working in the canteen as well, as that is the only other room on this corridor out to one end of the site. Normally i would not make such a crass prejudged statement, but this building was made in the late 40s and the view of women in the workplace was only just beginning to change then after the war.

This image was taken at the Portsea Point Nepean National Park, on the Mornington Peninsula’s coast,and amongst the many underground tunnels and bunkers used during the wars from as early as the 1890s and after. / If some of these walls could talk. / /
