The penultimate post on the blog reads to me like an attempt to turn it into fiction – the tone is completely different from the factual exploration… not surprised nothing came of it.

I’ve saved the PH blog onto my homepage for later reading, I can’t be doing with 200-odd pages at the moment!

Oh god. I’ve just remembered. I still haven’t looked inside this.

Now would be a good time

“I’m up in NW Cumbria”

“Is it a dropped h?”

Hahaha. Bastid. 😉

Fwiw , I bet it’s a cat .

Now would be a good time

I bought it in a more innocent age – before Brexit, before Trump (but still less than a year ago). At the time I thought buying a hatch with 4000sq ft of ‘something’ inside, sight unseen, was reckless. Now I think it was outstandingly prescient.

Not so much as a doomsday preppers bunker – more as a deep, dark echoless hole that I can charge people buy the minute to shout their anguish, horror, incredulity and despair into.

Not sure if serious….

You bought a mysterious hole in the ground, and you haven’t looked in it yet?

Are you the world’s least curious person?

my money is on a dead cat – unless of course the owner miscounted how many lives it had used – maybe get some felix just in case?

^ Funny. I’d have already built that Scalextric room/personal library*/bunker that I’d /dreamedplanned under parent’s garden when I was 9.

Its either a fabulous opportunity or a massive liability. Like Shrodingers Cat its currently either/both but it’ll only become one or the other when I actually look inside. Once I know which it’ll occupy my thought pretty much 100% for the years its going to take with dealing with the outcome of knowing that. At the moment I’m just too busy to give it that headspace. If I know too much about whats down there I won’t be able to refuse it headspace. Its a project that’ll be 5 years down the line (it’ll perhaps always be 5 years down the line) but at the moment just as CZ hasn’t got time to read a 200 page thread I haven’t got time to write one. 🙂

Roman scrabble tile? (Apparently H was worth IV)

Looks like a Saxon helicopter pad to me.

Expect a visit from me soon.

Like Shrodingers Cat

Yes, but the cat could be alive, you beast! Let it out!

My vote is; elaborate pet grave. Perhaps it’s the 9th pet with the initial H to die……………..

Just wasted over an hour reading through the Pistonheads thread. Great stuff.

He did go on to make a *short* blog of it: http://gardenbunker.blogspot.co.uk/
And got a BBC News appearance:

I’m now eagerly awaiting further details of breadcrumb’s cobbled grave and maccruiskeen’s rusty sewer Nazi money pit

C’mon man, why haven’t you got in it yet?

Surly you need to get Baldrick round to do one of his crappy TV programs?

Its strange that Richard the Third was buried exactly in a carpark.

I heard it was outside Millets, with their Winter of Discount Tents.

😀

What if a bunch of us offer to go down there for you and only report back if it’s really good?

By chance two guys from the water company we just outside, so like a complete weirdo I showed them The Slab™.

They thought it was either man hole cover or a tombstone for a dead pet.

So still none the wiser.

Now if was a handy metal cover i could just open it up and I’d be down there like a shot!

Sounds like the plot of one or two films I can think of. Non of them had sequels. 🙂

They thought it was either man hole cover or a tombstone for a dead pet.

Only one way to find out.
Come on, we need some resolution……
DO IT NOW!

They thought it was either man hole cover or a tombstone for a dead pet.

So, like us, they guessed?

just dig a hole next to it and see what happens

I think you should send for Buffy and the Scooby gang.

…maybe get an auto-technician ’round to suck in breathe and whistle

this could go on a while

I think its the base of an inverted column 7,917.5 mile high.

So now you’ve got three options.

So, like us, they guessed?

Yup, I was just trying to rule out the H standing for hydrant.

I’ll dig next to it at some point.

I’ll dig next to it at some point.

eh?, get out there now in the dark and unseasonable temps with your spade, crucifix and clove of garlic.

[/quote]Or see if someone from the gas company would look into it for you…..

IGMC

Wtf? I’ve just read this, how can you not go and find out now?

H is for Hell

Peter Cushing / that other Hammer House of Horror bloke (name escapes me), wouldn’t be “digging next to it at some point”. Just saying

I’m not likely to head out digging now am I! Guess you’d want me to use a gas lantern too?

Another photo to show The Slab in relation to the veggie plot.

That wooden box next to the mystery object – is it the type of place a vampire would live?
– just saying like

Probably unconnected, but RIP Dusty Bin

^^Surely, thats RIP Rusty Bin 8)

Where on earth is the veggie plot in that photo and besides, that’s an absolute disgrace. Do you even know how to cut grass??? 😆
