I don't normally post reports on the interweb, despite doing a lot of urbex. But this I've been waiting for...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8110000/8110678.stm
I present to you, a Cold War era Nuclear Sub-Command HQ, complete with all the trimmings. From documents in still-sealed envelopes marked "top-secret" and leaflets on advising home-owners on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack, right down to some Gordon's Gin left in it's original bottle, decades old.
Can't give full details for obvious reasons, but it HAS been sealed properly. Despite the fact it was under lock and key anyway.
Firstly, an office:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6. Full records of all staff. Yes, the light in that room still works.
7. A roll of 35mm negs, very difficult to distinguish images.
Next up, the comms/radio room:
8.
9.
10. There were loads of dose rate meters, essentially personal Geiger counters that hooked up to the gas masks.
11. Have a game of see what you can spot, there's loads of articles of interest!
12.
13.
Planning/meeting/cabinet/party room:
14.
15. Note: map was still left on back wall, but fell over time due to damp.
16.
[image removed]
17.
18.
19.
Store Room and Bunk Room, which was also being used for storage:
20. Helmets and back-up batteries for the radio equipment.
21.
22.
23. Rolled up maps, incredibly delicate. And loads of stretchers.
24.
25.
26.
27.
Kitchen:
28.
29.
30.
31.
32.
33.
34.
Sorry it's picture heavy with minimal worded info, but seriously it's best that way. The pictures say more than words can.

Update: Thanks for the positive responses on my choice to keep this place quiet.
More than anything I wanted this post to highlight the fact that there ARE good new places to explore out there, and that sometimes it's best not to splash everything all over the interweb. There are literally hundreds of places in the country that are being done again and again with new reports popping up on a daily basis... Each time they appear more and more trashed. I'm very glad that people have been very respectful and appreciative of this opinion. Thanks.
