SUMMARY:Cold War Bunker Talks & Tours
DESCRIPTION:Uncover the hidden secrets of Nothe Fort’s Cold War Nuclear Bunker!\n \n\nJoin us for a special tour and talks of the Fort’s Cold War Nuclear Bunker!\nLearn about the secret system that was put in place during the Cold War era that enabled a select number of people to survive a nuclear strike.\nIn 1983, unbeknown to the local community, part of Nothe Fort was secretly converted into a local authority emergency centre as part of the UK’s defence preparations for nuclear war.\n\nAccommodation, control, and operations rooms were created for local council employees who would have taken control of disaster relief and reconstruction of local infrastructure in the event of a nuclear war.\nThe existence of the centre was known by very few people at the time and knowledge of its existence is still limited today.\nCome and join our friendly and knowledgeable team of volunteers for a unique insight into how this much-loved Victorian fort was secretly utilised during the latter part of the Cold War. \n \n\nNuclear Bunker Talk Times\nTalks will be in the Engine Room at 11:30am, 12:30pm, and 2:00pm.\nThere will be items from our Cold War Collection on display during the talk.\nBook your FREE Talk ticket on arrival at the Shop desk.
