Not the first time you will of seen this one Im sure but thought Id share.
Superb little solo mooch this prob the best "unrestored" war room in the UK & really needs saving, its been a bit messed about but generally avoided any major vandalism.
there is a lot to see so a lot of pics again.

History nicked from Subrit
The war room is built to the standard two level design and semi-sunken, i.e. the lower level is below ground. Within a few years of opening in the early 1950’s, the regional war rooms became obsolete and the building was rented to Avon County Council. It was used as their County Borough Control until 1981 when the Home Office increased the rent and the County Council refused to pay; since that date it has been unused. The whole site is now owned by a management company and the ‘H block’ offices leased back to various government departments; the bunker however remains derelict and its future is uncertain. The building is now completely covered by Virginia Creeper including the three ventilation towers on the roof.

One of the coolest things for me here was this weighted message lift between the 2 floors, this was a piece of lovely engineering & working like it was installed yesterday.
