Strategic Fuel Bunker - Poole 225 Depot - SECOND TIME FOR THE WIN

This fuel bunker was known as 225 Depot and was owned by the RAF.

Likely built sometime from 1936-1940 as a part of Britain's extensive underground fuel storage initiative, Poole RAF Fuel Depot (Apparently known as 225 Depot) was likely to have served the purpose of providing fuel supplies to nearby RAF Hamworthy, where seaplanes were on station during WW2. This depot consisted of multiple semi-buried fuel tanks holding thousands of tons of aviation fuel, utilising a small underground pump room to send the fuel down the pipelines to Hamworthy and other allocated bases, as well as a smaller bunker of unknown use (Likely for accommodation and command) further into the site.
The site was hit by an air raid during the war, which hit and destroyed one of the fuel tanks rated at 8000 tons, it can still be found at the north of the site.
This depot was also reportedly used during the Cold War, as late as the 1970s. One of the bunkers has also seen use for regular storage by a local nature commission in recent years, and likely still is being used for it as of today.
