Classic Cold War Bunker Looks like you got in there just ahead of the demolition team, good on you Most Council's in the 1980's rebuilt there old Civil Defence bunkers as part of CW II! The Thatcher/Reagan era! The Government put aside a vast amount of money to upgrade existing bunkers or have new ones built. Some Council's did not take part and like Manchester declared themselves a Nuclear free Zone If the CW had gone Hot, the fallout from neighbouring towns would by pass the towns that were Nuclear free....Simple's..Duh!!

Plenty of propaganda was floating around in the 1980's. Here's a few from my collection









Here is one before Manchester went Nuclear Free! Spooky looking 1950's CD Warden

Every Council would have had one. They still exist under Council offices, normally now used as store rooms. If you ask to speak to the Emergency Planning Officer at your local council, ask them if there are any former CD bunkers remaining? They are normally quite approachable

The leaflets are a real piece of history. Its a bit of a waste demolishing it as id say it was built within the last 20-25 years and probably cost millions.

Awesome leaflets mate, I still remember all the public warning announcements on TV in the late eightys too.
Scary shit thinking back.

Ive always wondered the point of a Nucleur Bunker. Surely after the dust had settled youd have to leave at some point?! Id rather be blown away that die slowly. Hmmm lol.

Watch the movie 'Threads'
