Cold war nuke bunker in UK goes on sale for $50K
- 3 years ago
Worried the COVID-19 vaccine might turn people into zombies? Afraid of a new Cold War? Or do you just simply want a simple place to call your own that no one else can get to? Then you’re in luck!
A cozy bunker, built in 1961 (and abandoned since 1991) under a field in St. Agnes, Cornwall, is on the market for $50,000. Built to survive a nuclear bomb blast and with enough provisions for two months, the one room shelter also comes complete with the original rust bunkbed frames and a dubious working toilet. It’s accessed by lifting a hatch and climbing down a rusty ladder.
The bunker was part of a network of 1563 observation posts across Britain used by volunteers of the Royal Observation Corps.
People working in the bunker would have only had a ham radio to connect with the outside world.
The bunker, which is being sold by Devon and Cornwall, also includes gadgets like a ground zero indicator to locate the location of an explosion, a bomb power indicator, a telephone, radio set and a Geiger counter.
