>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.
