03-010: CFS Beaverbank

Full title: "In Tension: CFS Beaverbank"

This is the only entrance: A two- or three-foot hole in one side of the structure, accessible if you have enough cinderblocks pushed against the ledge outside. Do not attempt this in freezing rain, or you'll bust your ankle.

CFS Beaverbank is located on the county lines at Hants County and the Halifax Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia, Canada. In the years following World War II, it housed radar equipment used to track Soviet aircraft and missile movement over the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean as part of a series of stations known as the Pine Tree Line. It was decommissioned in 1964 and has sat derelict and decaying ever since. It is privately owned, and rumours have it that it will be demolished and the land re-zoned to make way for a new housing development. At the moment, the site is being used by youth to practise tagging skills, and as an out-of-the-way place to have fun.
