Hi all I have covered this subject before in 2012 , I have just come back from the Isle of Lewis and was surprised to see so much damage with Erosion and corrosion in 2 years , The Look out Tower roof has collapsed, salt and high winds have taken there toll. the 4 inch Gun emplacements are really falling apart showing the rebar reinforcement with heavy corrosion, there was blocks of concrete and rebar on the ground. one of the 4 inch emplacements has sunk 2 to 3 feet and looks very dogey as its a drop straight down to rocks and sea . I never took any risks. in 2 years to see so much damage and to think in 2012 my head is were the roof is now scary , I don't think it will be long before its blocked off as there's a real chance of an accident waiting to happen . the ladder to the tower ...well I just looked up very unstable up there . ive uploaded some pictures of the tower with me in it 2 years ago and what its like now after the collapse . Manned by royal navay during WWII . it was quite sad seeing it like this but that's time .....
Cheers Ken
