Hack Green Nuclear Bunker, Cheshire
History
The site of Hack green nuclear bunker was used by the military since world war two were there was a decoy site to confuse German bombers looking for important railway junctions at Crewe.
After the war the site was used as a detection center to track any incoming soviet aircraft and a semi sunk reinforced concrete bunker was added. The site was officially known as RAF Hack Green and provided air traffic control services for military aircraft crossing over civil airspace.
After the 1950's the site was abandoned for many years and lay derelict. The Home Office eventually took it over and began work to greatly expand the bunker and turn it into a regional government headquarters which was one of 17 sites across the UK. Their purpose was to act as a place for the government to work out of in the vent of a nuclear attack on the UK.
After the cold war ended in 1991 the home office abandoned the use of the bunker as one of its 17 post nuclear war command posts and sold it to a private company.
Since 1998 the bunker has been open to the public and has an impressive collection of cold war memorabilia, including one of the worlds largest collections of decommissioned nuclear weapons.
