Constructed in WW2 as a ‘filter room’ to process RADAR signals, the subteranean building was then used by the ROC, Health Board, During the cold-war it was hardened to provide a living environment for ‘high heid yins’ in the event of a nuclear strike on the UK. Subsequently used by the Council as an emergency operations centre.
We offer guided tours around the building [MHG20493]. The guided tour takes around 2 hours – depending on interest and questions. The building is underground. Being a historic listed building it has not been possible to make it accessible to the non-ambulant. There are about 40-50 steps to reach the lower floor.
