During World War II, the hills of Park Hall, Weston Coyney played an unexpected role in the war effort, a fact unbeknownst to many of its residents. A small area on the hill is all that is left of the covert wartime operations on these hills and their significance in the broader context of wartime strategy.

My grandfather used to tell me stories of him and his brother sneaking across Parkhall during this time to poach rabbits. Ended up getting arrested at one point. The gate posts were there before long before the bunker decoys. There was apparently a small farm holding up there 100+ years ago and the gate posts are all that is left of it.

I learned what this was for a few years ago, and was astonished. The poor people of Weston Coyney proboaly thought they would never be bombed, as they were not really near any major industrial areas. Little did they know......

I think hack green nuclear bunker in Nantwich was also a decoy site before it became a radar station and bunker in the 50s “ “. In 1941 Hack Green, was previously used as a bombing decoy site for the main railway centre at Crewe was chosen to become RAF Hack Green, to protect the land between Birmingham and Liverpool from hostile attack
