ABANDONED NUCLEAR BUNKER (untouched for 20 YEARS)
Вставка

- This was built during WW2 and was later re-commissioned for use during the cold war as an underground nuclear fallout facility for use by the government, BBC and the MOD in the event of a nuclear attack on Britain. The radio tower would of been used to communicate with the outside world and any other survivors, some really scary stuff.
These places are so fascinating they just make me think what hidden modern bunkers are the govt currently using
ultra rare find, I've never seen such a bunker found without being looted. It looks like they were renovating the place and it became mothballed. THE KEYS ARE STILL THERE!
thats exactly what happened
Whats with the whispering?
Active mod site heard lots of soldiers and vehicles around also didnt know if the bunker was occupied or not
You're walking around in a dark bunker with a bloody great light. If there were soldiers around they would have seen you coming a long time ago! This pointless whispering is silly - we can't understand a word you are saying!
Place feels like it's being used or restored and they are not meant to be there. I'd be whispering too. Feels like they might come across something or someone. & as they filming they don't know that they wont. Didnt know that they wont
.....whispering, yes I would as well.
They didn't want to scare themselves!
And dude.... WHAT is up with the preoccupation with bathrooms?
No pun intended...but nobody wants to see that shit!
slow down and take your time. spend some time so we could read the signs. you could use post commentary
I completely agree Yogi
Pity, could have been a great video .. your camera work made me feel seasick. Slow down and stop the silly whispering.
they were in an active MOD site, they had to whisper as the bunker is very echoy and the personnell on site could hear them if loud
Not sure if this helps at all but in the early 90s (here in leafy Norwich) I was a feature writer for a local listings magazine when an air raid siren went off causing slight panic in the streets. I followed it up and was put in touch with the area Emergency Planning Officer (EPO) who gave me a tour of their bunker, built under the County Hall. No secrecy there. Standard equipment, the computers were ancient , the outward opening blast door was flimsy and there was a lead lined safe in case of EMP to protect the comms. The general feeling at the time seemed to be now the Cold War was over they were stripping out the city based sirens to be used as a coastal flood warning system.
The much larger RSG Bunkers were/are sometimes sold off as museums or as secure document stores. Anything on military land - who knows?
There was a former military bunker on county council land which was to be sold off. Myself and some mates thought about buying it as an underground music venue but were thwarted by the 14-foot thick concrete walls - 'how the the disabled going to gain admittance and where are you going to put the emergency exit?' Fourteen feet, we'd still be digging it out.
Happy hunting but be safe.
Not even joking but I'd live in that setup and feel right at home.
thanks for posting the video, now it wont be untouched for long, it'll only be a while before its stripped of everything by scalpers and resellers on ebay.
Joaquin Maidana you're true. You are a relic saver like me.
Loving the old bt kit and system x kit. Lots of private lines there to by the look of it. Am I the only one here who would love to restore the place and make it into a great little house to live in? I could spend days exploring this place. Great find and even greater video. By the look of the temporary lighting (yellow cables) someone has been doing some work. I can confirm that's an MOD safe and not easy to pick. I would even have room for servers and there are plenty of lines coming in. I so wish I could buy a place like that! Fantastic, Nice one guys. :) :)
the reason they stopped restoring it was because of dangerous gas levels, im assuming thats why the door was wide open
Stuartbe I never worked on System X but did get to look at System Y.
That was about 26 years ago, during work experience.
The reason it’s untouched is because it resides within an active military training area in Staffordshire.
nice one chaps looks huge and what a great find
"untouched for 40 years" but you find books from the 90s
title says untouched for 20 years
Feels like this bunker is being made ready (restored/fixed up) for ANOTHER WAR !!! or for something.
Brian mcinnes ye I might be blind apparently
Miika Mäentaus They edited the title, it said 40 years originally.
@@nellennatea its on an active military base originally it was an ammunition magazine there are 7 more close by
Rolls Royce engine generators and other things just left abandoned it's a good job that the UK is awash with money! ;) .
I've met plenty of folk who'd have that lot out of there before you could ask them, "sould they be there"
++ thiswan1 … It's not the govt is loaded but when you consider the age of the gen sets and the lack of spare parts for a unit that is many decades old, it becomes obvious that it will cost more than the scrap value to remove them and at that point not worth the effort to reinstall it because of the age. If you need reliable power it's better to buy a new replacement for installation elsewhere. IOW, one that's not 70 years old and one that still have service parts available. BTW, these gen sets in the video are probably the second go around and are only 40 years old.
Great video gentleman,keep up the great work,more and more videos please!!!!!
Word of warning when entering underground/confined places like that. The air quality could be poor(mild, spilled/leaking chemicals) and low oxygen
thank you, appreciate it
Best advice for these types of situations. More likely to get locked into a room or encounter gases that are immediately dangerous to your health. UA-cam confined space entry safety course. Btw thanks for the video. Be safe.
This could be a pretty cool second home nice place for a tornado season in Texas but need to to fix Loose Ends like the Goofy camera work move slowly big tip
old video my friend, check out my new stuff got a better camera now and editing alot better
Where is this?
Yeah. The army still practice there
Great find! Have you been back recently? Would love to know if it’s still in this condition. Cheers
I tell you if I was in there I think turning on all kinds of switches and knobs
It probably still had power aswell because it looked like it was getting restored because there was a lot of builders lights in there plus the electric cabling looked pretty new
@@Jamie-ds1gf It looked like the flooring was being removed, pretty sure they are asbestos floor tiles.
Must of been a real buzz walking in there which you kind of carried off in the filming. The cautious whispering which most are cussing adds too the atmosphere IMO … I don't blame ya!
Nice one guys 👊
I wouldn't mind exploring this site myself, I know where the entrance to the training camp is. Whereabouts did you find the bunker? Do you have a road or street name where it may be closer to?
This type of bunker is regularly used to accommodate troops on exercise have stayed in ones just like this on the same camp at Swynnerton
Should Do another Vid and Have someone in the bathroom sitting on the Shitter n open the stall door and have the guy reading a magazine and say out loud "Excuse Me" ....@11:01 The hose has a Inspection tag signed 7-1992 and the two gold stickers looks like Mar. Made in 1967 or 87 ...Real Cool man Real Cool
I would want to see those old generators start up and power the place once again
I want to see the technology.
Systems used to keep that place safe and comfortable when occupied by a couple hundred folk!
Nice generators... Made by Dale Electric, Filey Road, Scarborough - Not a million miles from here!. They had a lot of Government contracts, and like Petbow before them, used a real Rolls Royce diesel engine on their bigger generators - very reliable machines indeed. And, how about that telephone plant room? There was one hell of a load of Krone IDC cable junction strips in that cabinet - it must have been quite an extensive telephone network that operated out of there.
There's still a lot of valuable equipment in that installation, but did you notice that whilst most of the cabling had been removed, the more modern "pyro" cabling was still in situ? One good side effect of pyro cable is that it is virtually worthless to cable thieves.
A nice find, but as others have said, camera work lets it down.
You never know, if DKT ruffles too many feathers, and after Brexit, we may need these installations again.
WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING
Great video, wonder what condition the place is in now since you've given the location of the place away as STOKE ON TRENT. Probably been vandalised and stripped of all its value now. Nice going eh?
It's not in Stoke lol.
It’s in a training ground, that used to be a ammunition manufacturing complex in ww2
@@majicmatt yeah swynnerton training area iv been in there as a cadet and with sub brit very hard to get let in
Hiya Brad thanks for that
Have you ever seen anything out of the norm while exploring any of these hidden bunkers .
Thanks Paul
great find guys.
Wow surprised to see a place so intact!! Usually vandalism and trash threw out these awesome old bunkers when they left like this!! It's crazy to see they actually left all the keys where they actually open the doors they are supposed to!! Poor quality on video though, why all the whispering?? You weren't in a library dude you where in an abandoned concrete box, scream your head off and none would be heard outside!!
Not Too Common To Se Bunkers Like This, Most Are Looted Or Vacated.
This was interesting, greetings from Edgewood, Maryland USA 🇺🇸
If it's abandoned, buy the land around it, say about 5 acres, clean it out and move in.
There is a very good diesel generator in station, change the oil, and fuel and crank it up.
Seems like this is a perfectly good home.
If it were government wouldn't it be on government property?
M.O.D. land no chance of buying it !
This is an active military base so very lucky to get in.
Anyone able to tell me when the ceiling tiles drop? Office that have been built and not refited seem fine. What causes them to all fall out ??
Nice to see it's not been vandalised
its on MOD grounds, it cant be accessed.
Sure looks like their trying to bring this bunker back to life with all the construction lighting inside.
Does the water and power still work or just shut off
If it was a current mothballed site then it would be secured prob have be monitored remotely etc that place wasn't secured at all it's been left to time until required in future
Why the whispering.......in a nuclear bunker with 10ft thick reinforced concrete walls?
Wayyyy too good looking to be abandoned even 10 years... its hardly degraded one bit...
Fantastic. What an incredible find.
Does anyone know the name or location of this place, trynna make a video out of this place aswell
Dang, if that was in the US I could use those generators, I can't believe there still sitting there. Nice stuff. Y we're they wispering?
Robert Woods … Those gen sets are probably replacements for the original units because they are NOT 70 years old. OTOH, I'd bet good money they are 30 - 40 years old so likely hard to find spare parts for, despite the RR name plate.
where in the UK is this...??

By the way it was filmed, shows person without technology knowledge.
Cool video. It's in good shape for being abandoned for 40 plus years. Judging by the string of lights hanging ? Someone is doing something down there !?
Stop whispering, please.
Hey could u give me the location for the bunker, I would love to go, I’m not too far away from it.
The toffs spent billions of pounds of public money building bunkers for themselves and their acolytes. The commoners that somehow managed to survive the nukes were left to fend for themselves and if they were caught trying to find food they were to be shot. True story. I get the impression that some of the upper crust quite fancied the idea of repopulating the Earth with their supposedly better breeding. The Malthusian types especially.
Yeh I mean god only knows how us commoners survived all them nukes eh...
(whispering)
Why are we whispering?
great video and a very interesting site .....but WHY THE WhISPERING??? Jeez that was so annoying, please just talk normally so we can hear you or say nothing at all.
yeah we was a little on edge as this was an active military training site and we didnt know if someone was working in there as there was all work gear lying around, but we might be going back with a better camera to do it properly, this was my first video so thats why its abit crappy, better to come tho! thanks for the comment dude :)
I bet it's all cleaned up and busy today unfortunately.
Why are you WHISPERING???
Our gov spends money on all these kinds of things then just abandons them,what a bunch of wasted money,sad
This bunker was only officially mothballed in 1997, 'untouched for 40 years' is pushing it a bit far.
What’s it called ?
Maybe in 1992/1993 they thought something was going to happen. or someone was hiding out down there in 1992/1993
Love your channel
Why whisper if no one is there
could contact the other fellow that uploads on friday.
iks? if so already done a vid with him but not on this place or on my channel
Very nice findings here
Where?
I was going to ask this too aha
why wisper i doubt margret thatcher is gonna run
out and catch you
Great video, cool and creepy vibe to this place
Lppks like a Mil powerhouse & the big room was where the diesel gennys were, all that switchgear & syncro gear looks familiar.
keith glaysher … yes, that switch gear does look familiar, like some of the older stuff I work with that dates back into the 70s / 80. Most likely the place was revamped from the original gear in that era and these days it will be cheaper to build from scratch than to update again.
Why are you whispering?
If this is where i think it is, this is on MOD land. Dont really think you should have been trespassing there. If they are interested maybe Drakelow would have been a better visit.
abandoned bunkers are worth big dollars i would buy that cheap and make a great amount of money after it was renovated plenty of rich are willing to invest into these projects .also has the communications tower a big bonus .if you offered the goverment money you could buy it on the cheap i think.
its on MOD grounds it cant be brought. Its also filled with toxic gases such as methane.
i live in Stoke On Trent but i dont now any Nuclear Bunker
All these people complaining about the whispering but I find it oddly relaxing
now what would really be cool is to take some diesel fuel & see if you could get that generator running & have some lights in there!..ty mate for the video-that was cool!!!
Your (self contained bunker) is just a water tank.
Gotta laf nuclear bunker , solid steel doors and its unlocked !
Okay the real question is who can sell me this bunker?
Why you whispering .... your in a bunker.!
TeeBee 303 active military site
That takes some balls mate .... lol
TeeBee 303 bumped into a few soldiers and vehicles lol
B0Y FRIEND BEHIND HIM ALL THE WAY DUDE
is being renovated
Cool place interesting find shame about the whispering .

Can you guys get any louder? I'm surprised no one busted you. Lol jk better safe than sorry
Hi how did you manage to get access into the bunker
i dont give any locations away or entry points, sorry
What makes you think this is a 'nuclear bunker' ????????????
I thought you guys did great!!
Why in the F*** are you whispering?
05:47 the square pieces of paper / mats on floor. Prayer mats?
There's nothing wrong in asking if they be prayer mats. I meant nothing of the kind that you refer to. I have never followed EDL. You are spitting out accusations without facts. You do not know me so how can you accuse me of such?
its in good nick since it was untouched from 1948
1991*
Para um bunker que era para proteção contra um ataque nuclear ele está limpo, então tem gente que frequenta este lugar. Abraço
Clearly it has been forgotten since the 90s. Great place to live rent free. You could also do them a favor by quietly cleanin the place up. I wonder if you could file for adverse possession of the property.
Is it owned by anyone?
Why do people love pointing cameras at the ground when they walk? It's amateurish, nauseating, and just generally idiotic.
where is this lads ? i can tell your brummies
Why are we whispering? lol
You mean 24 years. it says 1992-3
Hi from Sweden
Wow.... keys in the locks "n T lot"
Watched it but will not bother subscribing due to you whispering. Spoiled the video. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Please dude where is this
NEVER ask on a public page, that how stuff like this gets trashed!!
Sink toilets and showers look too clean. New?
Abandoned, yet you're whispering? Afraid f waking the ghosts?
So your trespassing on a military base in Staffordshire,some balls lads,and not actualy abandoned be careful.I think i know where this is.
C Fong there’s no law against trespassing. Look it up.
@@battdamon4517 Err.. true unless theres a sign prohibiting trespassing. Of which there were many..
Jonathan Blake erecting a sign doesn’t make a law.
@@battdamon4517 No, but it can be used to justify arrest under something vague like CJA on grounds of aggravated trespass. Too weak to charge but would still ruin the day.
Besides, most of us into UrbEx have no intention of getting on the wrong side of the law/getting to that point and having to argue the toss. We're history/engineering buffs, not anarchists. 1st line of defence in site preservation are usually private security and police we come up against when trying to get in ourselves.
Probably not a common thought but one worth sparing next time anyone gets turned away from a site :-/ If easy, then it's usually been shagged...
