monzaman   318 #90 Posted September 20, 2014 A list of the 'bunkers' built and operated by the Military, Royal Observer Corps. The ROC manned these locations and their purpose was to monitor the radiation fall out levels post nuclear attack. Not exactly large scale bunkers where high profile members of the Government/Military would stay, but bunkers nether the less.  http://www.subbrit.org.uk/location/south-yorkshire  Thanks for the link,i will now lookout for any of these bunkers while out on my travels,see how many i can "tick" off.If the missus reads this she will be thinking"oh no something else to bore me and the kids with while we are out driving":hihi: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

lindad993 Â Â 10 #92 Posted September 21, 2014 When I was a kid my Mum was in the Civil Defence, they were told "in case of Nuclear Bomb attack" get down behind a wall. No shortage of walls in farmland around Sheffield. Seriously the old ammunition dump in Grenoside was outfitted as fallout shelters for a while. Dunno what they are now!

DT Ralge   10 #95 Posted September 21, 2014 To answer the OP, I don't know but from a recent visit to one in Berlin I'm clear in thinking that being in one would have been very unpleasant. In Berlin the bunker was 3500 sq.m in area and was intended to house 3000 "lucky" people in 95% humidity (it is reckoned) with only one option: stay on your bunk and hope the air intake chimney on top of the car park above you wasn't hit/dislodged by the blast. None of the bunkers were ever tested to see whether the saved lucky ones would come out of the bunker after two weeks still healthy and sane.

Bargepole23 Â Â 337 #96 Posted September 22, 2014 I think central government ones were abandoned as nuclear weapons became much more powerful, because they would have to be so deep that they would be next to impossible to construct, and then after a nuclear strike, the underground rock would have shifted so that they would be impossible to escape from, entombing the occupants.
