Bedminster Underground Bunkers

Ive noticed around bedminster and southville big double metal doors on the pavement with bright yellow air shafts standing next to them with warm air coming from them. Does anybody know what they are? they seem to be some kind of underground bunkers but they must still be in use becuse of the warm air coming from them. would be interesting to know and take a look down there.

Re: Bedminster Underground Bunkers

I think you are referring to underground electricity transformers. I don't remember seeing one for years but they also gave off a warm, 'oily' smell.

Newer one are now placed above ground.
