sandie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I'm looking in to the Cold War era, and what Sheffield’s involvement was. Hence my reason for restarting this thread from years ago. Can you elaborate further on where the sites in Sheffield City Centre were please? Hi markjgti6, What was the old HPO on Flat Street/ fitzalan square there was 2 underground duplicate telephone exchanges and command centers and from memory there was another under the town hall. I will try and find you more info from those who I worked with in the 60,s as you can understand that might take some time, because there are few left. Apart from Bawtry I also went to Finningly and sevel more MOD Sites, but I have to check my status under the OSA. Sandie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little malc Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The most interesting cold war bunker is the one at RAF Holmpton three miles below Withernsea. It is three story's deep and contains a full command centre in case of nuclear attack. It has it's own hospital and survival system. It is now open for the public to visit, it was only decommissioned in 20000. Well worth a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuggles Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 A bit far away but I've been down this one in Scotland and it's fascinating,the sheer scale of it and what they have down there is unbelievable: http://www.secretbunker.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherakapod Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Norton airdrome has bunkers beneath. We used to play in them in the 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
