This ongoing Video Diary by myself John Neal, sometimes known as John Longcroft-Neal, as the whim takes me.
TODAY’S SUBJECT is the fascinating story of the Royal Observer Corps Station, known as a nuclear shelter just outside the beautiful village of Stoke Golding, Leicestershire.
GENERAL STUFF
I am retired from two careers of primary school teaching when I was deputy head of a Middle School and Primary School, and as a self employed Chalkboard Artist from 2002 until I reached the grand old age of 65 in 2016. Since I retired it’s like a second childhood but with more expensive toys.

I play guitar and write songs and have written about 14 songs for the local BBC radio station. I run a weekly (weakly) evening Acoustic session at a local pub and have been doing so for 14 years now.
Much of the music I use on this channel is taken from epidemicsound.com free to use on UA-cam for a reasonable monthly fee, and sometimes I suffer you with my own music.
Gear that I use:
DJI Mini 3 Drone.
Iphone 15 Pro for camera, generally front facing so I can see myself in frame. Super quality especially if I keep the lens clean.
Go Pro11
Gimble is a Q2 Smooth by Zhiyun, I ought to use this more often because it was expensive.
Sony IC recorder

Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone

Rhode videomic to do voice over on computer
Video editing with Final Cut Pro X
Polarduck Mini Tripod for mobile phone. This is so good and under £10.00 I bought two.
Lamcou bendy leg tripod
Smatree Tripod / mono pod
Mono pod is a Manfrotto Compact MMC3-02 and is very useful for getting high angles that look like low flight drone shots and so easy to carry on my bike along with the mini tripod.
My bike is a e28 Estarli electric bike.

I also enjoy gardening but lay no claims to have any expertise, and you might catch me out in the countryside of Warwickshire and nearby Leicestershire on a walk with my wife or on a bike ride.
Please comment below to inform further plans for my vlogs. I’d love to hear from you. If you don’t you will just get whatever bubbly ideas float to the surface of my slightly muddled elderly mind.
Hi John, a very interesting video, all the times I have gone down that lane and didn't know that place existed. My Dad was involved in the Nuclear testing during his time in the RAF during national service in the 50's he was at a place in Australia called Maralinga he has a picture of the actual bomb going off...the mushroom cloud, very impressive.
That’s quite a connection Dean. Thanks for the comment.
Hi John,
Just checking you still have your drone? Apparently a chap lost his over the tractor run last night and would hate for it to be you!
My baby drone is safely tucked up in bed. Thanks.
Sadly, for a variety of reasons, a lot of these posts no longer exist. Many that remain have been damaged by neglect or vandals. It's understandable that many landowners aren't interested in them, as maintenence would be costly, so the entrances to many are just knocked down or secured and forgotten about.
I totally agree with you John, if the warning sounded (& I believed them) I'd go out & walk down to the coast (5 minutes) to say goodbye to the world as we know it.
A nuclear winter would not be an appetising prospect - what a daft way to go that would be !
Thanks for sharing :)))
Thanks for watching
