Pretty sure this is post WW2. The gauges say this is probably Cold War era....but I have been known to be wrong about these things. Good photos mind especially the one of what I think is a seismograph.

Well you managed it and worth it from the photo's though I'd say cold war rather than WW2

Did you all go in full camo, including boots? Unless this is on an army base, you stick out like a sore thumb wearing full camo gear. Simple clothes can be a better disguise than looking like a soldier in the dead of night (or light of day!).

An interesting explore though, from the images posted and others floating on the net recently, it is a Cold War bunker and not WWII, but thanks for sharing anyway.

Definately post WW2 and from the appearance of some of the plant and signage in use until very recently. Nice site, did you find any other areas you haven't shown yet?

seansamurai1 · Oct 7, 2012

Its both if its the one Im thinking of (Theres 2 in the area).
Has WW2 tunnels at the back and the cold war bit is built into the old Royal Naval and Army UGHQ from WW2 then modernized and strengthened at the end of WW2 into the cold war period.

It was also updated every year up till about 1998, where the MoD cut back on its funding but it stayed active right up until about 2004/2005.
The MoD/Navy sold off the land.

it was built to with stand bombs thrown at it... a 50-100kg person has no chance at getting in...

it is Rich, to be honest if you have ever visited a rotor bunker then you have pretty much seen the top part of mountwise.

and before anyone says it, I know mountwise was not a rotor bunker, I mean it looks just like one

Hi All

Well the title is interesting WW2 Nuclear bunker, but this is not the full history story.

Mount Wise was built into a dry moat of a Napoleonic fort and there is still bits and bobs left from then.
There is a set of steps that links the upper (Cold War) section with the lower (WW2) section and these
if my info is correct are Napoleonic.

The picture below shows the curved steps.

Cheers Newage

Remember the staircase well
