designed by Sir Harley Dalrymple-Hay, the bunker consist of two 25ft diameter tunnels built in parallel to each other with a 12 ft diameter tunnels lined with cast iron tunnel segments as used on the London Underground tube network running throught the center with , the small tunnel was the main walk through with the big tunnels being sectioned of and turned in to small rooms for staff and equipment and taking 2 years to complete. there are 2 entrance and exits

home of the GHQ signals, occupied by the No1 HQ signals regiment, the bunker was built under the wentworth estate, which is now a golf course
