I was up in Birmingham a few months back. After checking out and exploring a few other underground locations in the City, I decided to check out and give the infamous Anchor Bunker/Tunnel system a shot.
The bunker is one of the three hardened underground telephone exchanges, Kingsway in London, Anchor in Birmingham and Guardian in Manchester, there is rumoured to be one in Glasgow and one in Liverpool.
We managed to get in part of the complex, where the security office and passenger lifts by the time we reached the tunnels BT security along with Armed Police turned up in no time. We were escorted out of the site and asked us what we were doing, the police were nice about it. We explained and they had taken our details, and then we were let go, turns out the CCTV on all the shafts/entry are watched 24/7.
Here are a few pics I had taken. I wish I had more time.
I will try this location again in the future...
