York Cold War Bunker
AWDREY. The Atomic Weapons Detection Recognition and Estimation of Yield device.
This machine served here, and is the last in Britain...
The HQ of the Royal Observer Corps No.20 Group, opened in 1961 at the height of the Cold War, stood down in 1991 and closed in 1992. It was bought by someone for a pound, locked and sealed shut until English Heritage acquired it in 2000. They restored it, gave it scheduled status, and finally opened it to the public.
