>A Cold War nuclear bunker has been rediscovered underneath a centuries-old castle after being forgotten for 57 years. The bunker was decommissioned and sealed in 1968 and was lost until an archaeological dig by English Heritage successfully uncovered its location. In the event of a nuclear war, the space would have been staffed by volunteers from the Royal Observer Corps (ROC). It is one of 1,500 underground observation posts built across Britain, each planned to protect three ROC volunteers who would have helped map where Soviet nuclear bombs had exploded and packed with rations for occupants to last about two weeks.

Every now and again I read about a decommissioned missile silo for sale and I kinda wish I had the means.

I agree. I almost had a chance to grab one a few years ago. It had been sealed for ages though and was probably full of water. I don't even care if I have to "rehab" some shit. You know you are ripping damn near everything out anyway.

Having the pump one of those things out could take forever and cost a ton though.
