Deep underground in the Essex countryside is a secret nuclear bunker. It was built during the Cold War and has an eerie sense of dread today as we see where government officials would have gone if Russia had gone nuclear in the 1980s.

The owner, Mike Parrish, told me he’ll be heading inside if the 3rd World War breaks out. It might not be modern, but it’s still the safest place to be in the event of a nuclear war.

Check out three floors, full of old equipment, different rooms laid out as they were when the threat of war looked imminent. It’s a chilling and enlightening experience, exploring the tunnels, the rooms, the blast doors, and hearing the story of life underground. Read more here…
