Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Secret Nuclear Bunker. This nuclear bunker is laughingly listed on Ordnance Survey maps as "Secret Nuclear Bunker". Obviously no longer a secret, this bunker used to form a part of the cold war nuclear defence system and was a regional seat of government. Should the worst happen, the local area would be governed by the officials who would shelter here. This bunker would also be in communication with numerous Royal Observer Corps outposts dotted around the countryside similar to the one shown in TQ5247, so that they could assess the damage caused by a nuclear attack. It was open to the public until comparatively recently (hence the name on the Ordnance Survey map) but now stands empty, a monument to something that thankfully didn't happen.
