If anyone is around the Cheshire area and has an interest in seeing what a fully operational bunker looked like, I’d recommend searching for ‘Hack Green Secret Bunker’. It’s now a museum and is a really interesting day out.
There's another great one near Hull.
Hack Green is certainly well worth visiting as everything thankfully has been preserved. Very easy to find.....theres a big signpost on the main road which says "Secret Bunker"!! 🤣
Great video! Amazing as always. Those areas that you saw segregated into regions were called "Stop Lines" - They were delineated by Pill Boxes and other fortifications intended to hinder tank and troop progression through the country during the Second World War. There are many hundreds of exaxmples left along the lines although much of it is now invisible to the passerby.
Thanks for letting us know! Good to hear that we saw something that is missed by the everyday person.
I worked in a bunker similar to this in the 1970s. I was a comms tech, looking after the phones, teleprinters and radio equipment.
Another stunning video guys which brought back memories for me as a spent a few years as the Materials, Engineering and Transport Manager on a missile test base. One point I would like to raise and I am sure you are careful on your explorations, however be very careful in these generator rooms as that white powder may have been asbestos which was used to fire line the walls of many of these type of facilities! ( I am sure you did not touch it). I lost my wife to Mesothelioma which is caused by asbestos and its a horrible illness, so please take care! With regard to the "shake" on the video, I feel it makes it more real so happy to see it stay.
Wow, glad our video brought back those memories for you, that sounds like a rather fascinating profession. I'm sorry to hear about your late wife. We do take care in most buildings, but this bunker was a concrete structure that was watertight from mould and there was air coming in via the open door. The shake definitely does add in our eyes, we desire the 'real' factor of our videos and hope it helps our audience feel as if they are there.
@@Urbandoned Thanks lads. Yeah it was the one of the best jobs I ever had and seen many a thing on base that most people think only happens in James Bond movies lol
You guys just can't make a bad video !! What a great Job. your narration is by far, the best. It makes me feel like I am right there with you. Thanks so much for your hard work making these. All my best from the US, Jim
Nice 👍 so wonderful 👍 some paperwork, maps also left behind
Personally I love the handheld camera look, it really suits the filming style and gives it a bit of a "raw" look. Great video as always.
That's precisely what we would say - thank you
Thanks so much for this one again guys.
I love these sorts of places so much. As a teenagers, my friends & I would go (what we used to call) "Bunker hunting" near the north-east coast, but all we found were just completely empty bunkers with no features, signage, doors, not even any infrastructure left behind. It was like they'd built the concrete buildings, but never finished the rest. Although most of them have long since been demolished, they were still good to find as kids.
Watching your videos certainly brings back some nostalgic memories from when I was younger than you guys are now. So I truly appreciate ever single minute of work you guys put into ever single one. Thank you.
As for the camera work, I must agree with Dazzy 84 - both methods can give a sense of stability on one hand, but that rough and ready look on the other. We all already know that some of the camerawork can be hard to get sometimes, but as long as it's not too shaky or blurred then it can add to the mood and feel of how it was shot. Either-way, it's all awesome!
That's really interesting and definitely something we would have done as children. Thank you very much for the kind message! As for the camera work, we really appreciate that. I think that the shake does add to the mood and makes the footage feel more immersive for the viewer.
Another great video guys! For me, seeing all the old electrical fixings and infrastructure is the best part... Plus all the paperwork that's been left! I could spend hours exploring that place!
I also love how eloquently the narration and voiceover is done too! These videos are worth watching just for your use of words! Also, I think the somewhat 'shaky' camera shots add something extra to the videos. Smooth Gimball shots might look 'too perfect'...
Glad you enjoyed the video! The paperwork was really intriguing and we wish we had more time to look closely at it. Thank you for the kind words about the narration, we spend an awful amount of time scripting and recording it to make it concise and informative. Much appreciated that you like it. Smooth shots do look too perfect sometimes, that is a great way of describing them...
I think the camera wobble adds to the the tension of walking through dark and sometimes eerie places. I would think stabilising equipment would cancel a lot of that out. keep up the great explores lads, really enjoy the content.
Glad you enjoy the videos - thanks for the response :)
Honestly I feel the camera shakes is brilliant as I feel like I’m right there with you and that’s one of the reasons why I subbed. I think a stabilizer would be a next level up and wouldn’t mind you giving it a go. 👍😊. Loved the bunker tour! Great job 👏
That is the sort of the response we were hoping to read. Perhaps, we will get a stabiliser to test both versions soon. Thank you - glad you liked this one :)
Oh wow thanks for showing my comment never knew this would happen to me thank you soo much great video as always lads keep up the great work.
No problem, thanks for the ace reply! Glad you are liking our content :)
@@Urbandoned Its an absolute pleasure mate I sure am it never gets old :)
Asbestos coated fire lined walls in electrical /gen/boiler/plant rooms!
Brilliant video guys
Great to see inside this bunker from the cold war. Nowadays they would have state of the art facilities and technical gear I'm sure, plus concealed really well. Amazing history when you think of underground stations in London and country cottage cover telecommunications in WW2, then this for the cold war. Now the threat of it all happening again Wow! Well done guys, your camera work is just fine as it is 💕🇦🇺
It is a fascinating insight into life during that period of time. The history for such a small building is astonishing!
Thank you for posting. As fascinating as it was eerie
Wonder if these old Cold War places will seem a little more relevant recently 🤔
Cool explore, cheers.
Definitely! It wasn't planned because we usually decide to upload our videos around a month prior, but strange timing!
This is an amazing explore! Thank you so much for visiting this site. I really love your narration as well. 👏👏👏👏
That means a great deal, thank you. It was a unique location, for sure.
As an urbex TH-cam channel too, we do not have stabilized cameras. We have gotten some comments that the footage can sometimes cause some slight vertigo, but I think most people appreciate the natural aspect of handheld footage. It is more in line with the unknown exploration aspect. By not looking too polished. Keep up the good work. We love your videos!
We agree, the stabilisation is much more realistic and natural, as you say. It helps add to the 'explorative' vibe, rather than a cinematic piece. Although, we would like to feature both in our content, so maybe we will browse stabilisers in the future. Thank you :)
We enjoy your content as is didn't bother us with camera 📷 stability at all. Keep up the great adventures. Cheers from Blissfield New Brunswick Canada.
Hello! Appreciate the support guys!
Another great video. Slightly off topic, but I find your videos quite relaxing. Came home from work with a migraine, and the peace/tranquility works wonders 😄
That is a new one, but appreciated all the same. We love to create an ambient soundscape with our audio work, so maybe that helps make it relaxing.
Thank you for your wonderfully competent and interesting videos guys
No problem
Your videos are always good so no need for a camera gimbal.Ive seen this bunker before with Exploring with Fighters. They are like yourselves, They explore but never damage. Your videos give much more details. Great work guys.
Thank you, the lack of stabilisation makes the walkthroughs more riveting in our opinion. Not heard of them!
Wow, amazing to watch such history, thankyou x
It's so interesting too see a numerous amount of orbs. Just neat and visiting that bunker is badass sexy awesome ❤️
Love the vid it is a shameful place like this are not shown to the public. Next time you are in the Bristol area please give me a shout I would love to join you.
In answer to your question, your camera work and lighting are also excellent for me.
Amazing - thank you
I think these places seem far creepier than a usual 'spooky house'. It comes across as very tomb-like below. The dead ivy outside makes it look like it's escaped from an H P Lovecraft story! Ironic timing given what's been going down this week. Didn't think much of the end of the world drinks options! Thanks for a very atmospheric explore.
Amazing work as always guys!
Thanks!
Best using both filming methods the steadycams for opening / background shots, and the shakiness for the explore, looks more realistic and less over engineered.
Yeah that might work in the future. It would probably increase the quality of our uploads with a wider range of gear.
Amazing!!!!
Thank you :)
if think the camera shake is adds to the mood of the video and that buying a stabilizer may make the shots better but overall the videos mood may be affected in a negative way
There is one built into an entire mountain in Italy. Like an underground city. Crazy money spent.
Very nice, there's a few of these in my area, very well sealed tho. OK if I share it to a cold war bunker group I'm in?
Sure man, go for it
Thanks for this. I like Cold War era stuff, especially bunkers etc. very creepy.
As for the use of it I think I’d rather get evaporated by a nuke than to die from starvation due to being unable to venture to the surface as that would be inhospitable or die of radiation poisoning!
I agree, the latter is much more horrifying!
It wouldn't be good for someone who is claustrophobic...
What an interesting place to see 😀
It is a truly special property
Planning has been approved by Bristol council in March 2022 to turn the war room into commercial or community use. They cannot demolish it or alter the outside as its Grade 2 listed.
I hardly notice any shakiness in your videos compared to other peoples videos. It makes it more authentic if you don’t use a stabiliser. Interesting explore again.
We try and keep our hands as steady as we can, but sometimes a bit of shake is unavoidable. Glad you liked this one
@@Urbandoned your videos are very professional. I really enjoy them and your channel.
Great explore lads. Don’t understand why you blurred out the map location early on in the video and then showed it fully later on? Was able to work out the rough location based on the coastline shown. Food for thought maybe?
Just it as is ..your videos are awesome
Perfect :)
I've seen a fair amount of Urbex videos.But never anaone better than this one.The great shape it's in although nothing had been done to preserve it is one thing that make it so great to watch.And thre's so many of these kind of places about.A pity and stupid to decommision , most of them after 1991-93.Now such places will be needed again.And so many has been , totally , trashed by goverments and vandals. It was so nice with no grafitti or trashing at all! It's the idiots doing that and , sadly , there's so many of them about!
I work for Clearway security. This place was locked and secured, even to the point of the door being filmed in this video. Someone has broken in and taken everything. It seems quite clear who's done it!
Super cool video. My interest in british history just keep on groving, such a fascinating country with rich history.
So this bunker wasn't heavily locked? How did you get inside?
The door was open when we visited. Not for long, though
It's a shame the government don't care about the people today we need them now more than ever
The bunkers above ground were easy targets.
The ones here in America are underground and I am amazed how many there are and so many are still hidden, unused but owned by the government and they were built in the early 50s
To see a facility the size of a Walmart and 3 stories high, but 150 feet underground, and all that you see if a massive empty field with a road going into the center of the field to the small building that gave access to the facility
To think, the government dug a massive open quarry and built these and people in the area all knew about it, and they ALL kept it secret, never talked about it, even to this day
One of these places in upstate NY I talked to the local farmers and the restaurant and asked how the government could build a facility this massive and keep it secret, and they all watched it be built, but were so afraid of nuclear war and they were afraid of the government
So they never spoke about it and their children were never told about them
Even when it was being sold publicly people were still afraid to talk about it.
I was able to get access to several of these bunkers during Hurricane Irene and Lee and found other still active bunkers on maps, and I still don't know how they could have built some of them
They are under mountains and some were old mines, but one of the best places that was listed as being expanded after 9/11, the government had used a highway being built as the cover for all these huge bulldozers and they did additional work after 9/11 and said they were going to use tunnel boring machine for the highway, but it was actually for expanding the mountain bunker
Really good output. Only real criticism is the annoying ratchet noise as you increase or decrease the (head?) torch brightness - sounds like someone cracking their knuckles 🤢.
If you have any elderly relatives who were around in the 2nd world war, as they might of been working in the bunkers. As a lot of women worked in the bunkers
You’re channel desires more subscribers
Much appreciated :)
We made need this . See you down there 😂
Love it
I don't mind the camera shake, you guys have fairly steady hands when filming so it's no big deal :)
We'll take that!
Wow😊
Recon its still good now? going next week
Bit of both shake and gimball style
You never disappoint us. I really appreciate your effort and dedication to make interesting videos for us ❤❤
Thank you so much :)
How do you enter these buildings without breaking in?
Walk around them and pray!
@@Urbandoned you sure you didn’t take the sheeting off?
Please explore the old Warsash Maritime Academy site
Thank you for an amazing explore! How many stories underground was this bunker? I might have missed that info.
Just one storey underground - there was a range of these buildings built at the same time as each other, many with this sunken design.
I'm surprised there is no 'domestic' accommodation. Presumably if there was a cold war nuclear attack we would do it during office hours only!
I wonder how many moustaches stomped around that place
I vote Stabilizer!
It dose not look that old in fact i still see chairs and coke cans around like the ones there today.Its you .If one is 18 years old or around it may look old
Make the filming easy on yourselves
Where is this place x
Have you ever been invited into abandon spaces by the owners?
Yes, we would in some cases, but it's not nearly as fun...
Public Relations - Easy job - No public to relate to when the nuke dropped.
Your history my past in was brought up and lived through the cold war and the threat of nuclear war .
What might return in if Russia gets it way
It makes me think that in our modern times with Putin being the arsehole the he is, the government regrets letting these places fall to wrack and ruin. I could spend many more hours down there, its just fascinating.
Wonder if any viewers actually worked in any of these bunkers in their younger days. I would have been in my last few years at school completely oblivious to any of this activity in our countryside.
Great video, glad I stumbled on it..
Great video. Who knows? With the way Putin is going these places might be needed again
Were this based
what are you aw my Godin about.
with putin raging through the Ukraine makes these faculties seem not such a waste of time or money to deter acts of aggression
#160👍💖
Ayo you got the Co ordinates for this? Incase the Russians act up
so easy to find
