Green Street bunker

The road up Castle Hill was closed to traffic on about 12 March 1942 to ensure the construction of military facilities such as this bunker were not obvious.

A small separate building at the end of the bunker and adjacent to the Generator room, housed the air conditioning plant.

On a few occasions Helen was taken by tender on duty to a secret abode (possibly the Green Street bunker).

Another one of the many rumours about secret tunnels in Castle Hill suggested that there was an entrance in the floor of the Green Street bunker.

Sqn Ldr K Fraser the Senior Radio Officer lived in the house on top of the building with his family during this time.

This included repairs to the leaking roof, internal and external renovations, painting, new carports and the installation of a new generator.

The Commonwealth Government hired a some premises at 63 Stagpole Street in West End that were possible used for NCO quarters.
