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.

And here is one from earlier this week (much more classy)…
A couple more from this week…
Russia
We recently spent a week in Russa, visiting Moscow and St Petersburg. I have a small selection of phone photos here which are to be expected but the combination of telephones and umbrellas is a little out of the ordinary…

This box can be found inside Liverpool Cathedral, England. It was placed here as a memorial to Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the designer of the red telephone box (thanks to Rodhullandemu for the image, via Wikipedia).
