Heritage Open Week September 2024
I have recently received some visitors feedback from Charlotte Tindle, Heritage Open Days Registration Assistant:
-
An excellent visit, where I learned some fascinating historical information on my local area. The group facilitating the event were amazing - knowledgeable, helpful and inspiring. They have done incredibly impressive work to the historic monument, essentially saving it from complete loss.
-
A fantastic experience, I have always wanted to visit an underground nuclear bunker. The volunteers, were very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable.
-
Brought history to life and highlighted the sacrifices people made and the sacrifices volunteers continue to make so that we can spread information, history and enjoyment.
-
I have an interest in Cold War history so it was a great opportunity to visit an ROC Nuclear Monitoring Bunker, not normally accessible to the public. I have previously visited the other larger types of bunker like at Nantwich and RAF Holmpton, so it was good to see a different type of bunker in the Cold War Civil Defence network.

So excited friendly atmosphere learnt so much volunteers were so pleased with the interest and support we all had felt like we had joined a very special group thinking about what skills I have to volunteer

The Nuclear Bunker has been restored really well with lots of equipment from that era. The knowledge of the volunteers was really good, we learnt lots of information adults & children, the bunker is on our doorstep, we have wanted to visit for sometime but not managed to get a ticket till today, we drove past saw the event and asked if we could visit there and then. Had a lovely chat with the volunteers there was also lots of information to read beforehand and to take home.

We found the cold war bunker very interesting and something a bit different that we would never usually have seen.
