Halifax Point Pleasant - Fort Ogilvie Bunker

I found this bunker(?) near Fort Ogilvie in Point pleasant Park on a small little trail that runs along a ridge a little closer to the harbour that the fort is. Location best it can tell +44° 37' 26.24", -63° 33' 54.24" Most of it is overgrown, made out concrete so I'm it from World War 2.


One the entrances


The Skull


Mean to take more of it but i was running out of film. Looks that its a hang-out for underaged teens days. Not sure of the original purpose. If anyone knows more info please post.

I've seen this room before. I assumed it to be a lookout post of some sort. I also assume there's a buried duplicate on the opposite corner (though maybe not).

It's a range finder emplacement. As far as I'm aware, it's the only one in PPP. The first time I saw this was actually about 15 years ago when I was walking through the park with my grandmother.

I've gotta say though, this thread is very misleading
I thought somebody had gotten into the tunnels in the wall.

EDIT:

@AlcesAlces: just because it's made of concrete doesn't mean it's Second World War. Cambridge and Point Pleasant Batteries were both built during the First World War (as well as Forts McNab and Ives) and have concrete construction.

Have faith only in those who you trust. And hold who you trust close to you for you have no idea when you will need them most.
