The Paulsgrove Underground Radio Station. Portsmouth. Other local WW2 activities in the words

Sunday 31st July 2022. During WW2 a secure underground radio station was installed in tunnels excavated in the face of the Paulsgrove Chalk Quarry a short distance to the south of Fort Southwick. This was linked to the combined underground headquarters located in tunnels beneath the fort. The radio station was located some distance from the fort as the highly visible aerial arrays would have provided an easy target. The tunnels are still accessible although following post war quarrying, the two ways in are now 40 feet above the quarry floor. On the cliff top overlooking the quarry there are some footings from a small brick building that are the remains of a brick built structure. This is directly above the radio station and was the sentry post used to guard the nearby radio masts. There were at least four radio masts in the area, three to the west of the brick building and one to the east. Each mast was guyed at four anchor points, with 55 feet between adjacent anchors. Ten anchor points can be found. Another fact. Messages bound for France would pass through this radio station via the aerials installed on the surface almost 100ft above. Probably the most fascinating fact about this small, unassuming radio station is that the first signals to come from the Normandy beaches delivering the messages of success would have been received here; amazing, and that fact alone should be reason to preserve these historic tunnels.
