Hack Green
Miles and I had a cheery trip to the Secret Nuclear Bunker at Hack Green a couple of weeks ago. Originally a Starfish site in the Second World War to decoy attacks from Crewe, then a radar site it became the site of an R6 hardened Regional Seat of Government Bunker. In time of nuclear war from the 1960's to the 1990's, the county of Chester would have been governed from this place. Situated in countryside south west of Nantwich, it was connected to a hardened communication network with other RGHQ's and central government. Many people would have lived and worked in the semi buried bunker.
Abandonned in 1992 as a dividend of the end of the Cold War it was opened in 1998 as a tourist attraction and house a large collection of Cold War relics and a number of deactivated nuclear weapons.
