Arrow Corby Steelworks Civil Defence Bunker, Feb '10

I'd wanted to see this since I saw it on sub-brit ages ago, but it never really got onto the "to-do" list. Recent pics made it look great so off we headed.

TBH I was a bit disapointed, it's quite small and the turntable seems pointless in real life. I was expecting a big underground hospital, why they wanted a vehicle in there is lost on me, there's no ventialtion, so it would probably just gas them all anyway.

Visited with dweeb & Fur:Q, thanks to Goldie for guidance!!!









Some cool evil genuis machines in there too:

nice shoot there! did you happen to have your geiger counter handy?? if i'm not mistaken in some of your shots those are old type radiography heads.. they contain a radioactive source the size of a walnut! they were housed in a small shutter ended lead tube. the round hole in the floor with tubes would have been for storing the the radioactive material. are you glowing..lol?
