Bunker electrics!

[DPG]

Few photos from the weekend's visit, thought they might be of interest to some on here. Apologies for the quality, I should have forced flash on. Light was 'murky'.

there's one near Nantwich. AA signs allover the place pointing to "Secret Bunker".

Hack Green I think? Same type of bunker.

An ROC post? Which one is it?

#11, Alpha 3. Bought from the government about 30 years ago for the extortionate sum of £1.

Fantastic! Original hatch and key as well - that must be rare these days. Bargain price as well, they normally go for around £20k and above these days!

There are still stacks of ROC posts scattered around the UK. Left over from the nuclear threat. Some interior shots HERE

I spent a lot of time in one of those in the sixties.
I remember the stirrup pump well for raising the radio mast, and the individual Dosimeter to tell us if we were goosed or not in the event of surviving a blast.

It's about 15m off of the public road, so no one can reach it without crossing my land. Hence the bargain price.
Absolutely clean and dry inside, as can be seen in the pics. Before the current Covid nonsense, I used to give tours of the place to any of our holiday cottage guests that wanted to, but I haven't been near the place now for nearly two years, and the compound is a mass of impenetrable brambles.
Original locks are now safely stored away and replacements fitted, after it was pointed out that the pics of the key online are good enough for copies to be made.
Always knew when the cold war was heating up, since the crew would bring their water storage containers to our place to fill them.

brambles can be clared as easily as a Electrical Trainee spaghetti wiring. you just need the right tool for the job.

Oh, I have the tool, it's the will that's lacking at the moment.
In the meantime, they're a good security feature.

I'll give you £2 for it. Just think, 100% profit ?

 

[DPG]

Open to the public, don't worry. I ain't stupid ?

Also worth noting is that rather than a man with a gun on the gate, there was a lady with a cup of tea. Always more reassuring!

Deal, as long as you give me the £50k for the 15m2 of land that you'll need to reach it.

Deal, as long as you give me the £5 for the 15m2 of land that you'll need to reach it.

Sounds like a bargain to me.
I've only just realised my 'avatar' is a photo of the 'guard sheep' that was looking after the Pontypridd ROC post when I went to photograph it
