Audlem to Nantwich
Very soon after setting off, we find ourselves alongside the secret bunker site, at Hack Green.
We spent a very interesting 2 hours inside the concrete bunker, built in the 50's and refurbished in the 80's at taxpayers expense of £32m as a place for a selected few to go in the event of a nuclear attack, but was declassified in 1993 and is now privately owned. Much of it is 2 floors below ground and contains a mass of communication equipment and decontamination facilities, and has the equipment used by Mrs Thatcher to order the sinking of the Belgrano during the Falklands war.
The pic shows Bob sat a very dated telephone switchboard .
