    The abandoned region 6 war room, a nuclear bunker dating from the early days of the cold war, built in 1953, located in the English town of Reading.
    A two floor, semi sunk construction, that was designed to protect the regional government from the atomic bomb, allowing them to coordinate defence.
    The layout centers around a main map room with control cabins, external offices and accommodation.
    Its like walking back in time inside the concrete walls of this bunker, interesting things have been stored inside and left to decay, most remains perfectly preserved.

    Thanks Sam and Jess!!! Even though a lot of that information in those store rooms may not be important it should be saved and digitized somehow like for instance maybe those weather records just seems like a waste to have all that information sitting there rotting that may only be in that spot. I could probably spend weeks in that bunker looking through stuff!

    Notice the paperwork everywhere says "University of Reading" - it is a university storage shed (the phone has a dial tone because the building is in the middle of the campus) - it hasn't been a nuclear bunker for decades.

    Oh so there is a bunker in Reading. I was recently exploring a ww2 air raid shelter in Weybridge, and there was some paper on the ground, looked to be from some sort of dystopian role playing, which mentioned a couple of bunkers in the Reading area. I'm guessing it referred to this one.

  • @sarahstrong7174
    @sarahstrong7174 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Looks like the county council have used it as somewhere to store some of their archives. Fat lot of use any of that would be to anyone in the event of nuclear attack! Thankyou for sharing.

    @Outandaboutwithpoggy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    When you google this place it tells you exactly where on the campus it is so it's no great secret, it was built in 1953 and decommisioned 1956/57 following a government decision as it was decided it was no longer strong or well built enough (one article suggested it only had one secure blast door which was hollow and could be opened from either side.j) no longer
    ,fit for purpose, and was later handed over to the university, so no secrecy but nonetheless still an interesting tour

    The bit at the end use to be an underground carpark, there was also a subway that joined up to the old Reading Railway station before it was re done, I use to pull trollies of parcels along it from the station to British Rails Western Tower which has now gone. There's also a underground pub/club which I think was linked but I'm not sure if it's still there or filled in.

    • @bennson5f
      @bennson5f 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The target in it was called the under ground pub that is I remember it well it was a ruff place to drink in bud n western Tower car park I watched a woman jump off the top floor n hit the ground I told the police that happened to walk by 5 mins later but thay just told me to move along n just wouldn't listen she exploded as she hit the ground it was sad to watch

    There are tunnels leading from Qbar I was told back in the day back when I did bartending but that's not far from the bunker so maybe connected. Also if you head towards walkabout you can get to the roof of the betting shop / pub that was once called wild lime
