Murder in a phone box

Spoiler alert if you have seen ‘Stoker’. (The second shot stars the great Australian actress Jackie Weaver.)

Kelvedeon Hatch nuclear bunker – Essex

Today we visited a nuclear bunker in Essex –Secret Nuclear Bunker. I emailed the owners and they kindly let us bring our dog Couscous with us. Very interesting stuff. Although the bunker was decommissioned in the early 1990s the feel is more 1970s or earlier – the digital equipment was removed at the end and most of what is on show is telephonic systems etc of an earlier time. Here is one of the switchboards, there were a number of them in the bunker.
