ABANDONED NUCLEAR BUNKER (untouched for 20 YEARS)

[@geronimo5537]

ultra rare find, I've never seen such a bunker found without being looted. It looks like they were renovating the place and it became mothballed. THE KEYS ARE STILL THERE!

[@DerrieNiall]

thats exactly what happened

[@TheRustylungs]

These places are so fascinating they just make me think what hidden modern bunkers are the govt currently using

[@johnedwards8723]

Pity, could have been a great video .. your camera work made me feel seasick. Slow down and stop the silly whispering.

[@richarnold8951]

they were in an active MOD site, they had to whisper as the bunker is very echoy and the personnell on site could hear them if loud

[@akaAlexthekid]

Whats with the whispering?

[@marksmanlynch5569]

Active mod site heard lots of soldiers and vehicles around also didnt know if the bunker was occupied or not

[@dangruner5926]

You're walking around in a dark bunker with a bloody great light. If there were soldiers around they would have seen you coming a long time ago! This pointless whispering is silly - we can't understand a word you are saying!

[@nellennatea]

Place feels like it's being used or restored and they are not meant to be there. I'd be whispering too. Feels like they might come across something or someone. & as they filming they don't know that they wont. Didnt know that they wont

[@danielmarshall4587]

.....whispering, yes I would as well.

[@artweaver6963]

They didn't want to scare themselves! And dude.... WHAT is up with the preoccupation with bathrooms? No pun intended...but nobody wants to see that shit!

[@yogibear5995]

slow down and take your time. spend some time so we could read the signs. you could use post commentary

[@LawnMowersThingsThatMakeNoise]

I completely agree Yogi

[@mike_dunno]

"untouched for 40 years" but you find books from the 90s

[@TheCopperbaron]

title says untouched for 20 years

[@nellennatea]

Feels like this bunker is being made ready (restored/fixed up) for ANOTHER WAR !!! or for something.

[@mike_dunno]

Brian mcinnes ye I might be blind apparently

[@SurvivingTheApocalypse]

Miika Mäentaus They edited the title, it said 40 years originally.

[@TheRicheg]

@@nellennatea its on an active military base originally it was an ammunition magazine there are 7 more close by

[@t.jexplores9429]

nice one chaps looks huge and what a great find

[@alstokesveteranfilmmaker913]

Not sure if this helps at all but in the early 90s (here in leafy Norwich) I was a feature writer for a local listings magazine when an air raid siren went off causing slight panic in the streets. I followed it up and was put in touch with the area Emergency Planning Officer (EPO) who gave me a tour of their bunker, built under the County Hall. No secrecy there. Standard equipment, the computers were ancient , the outward opening blast door was flimsy and there was a lead lined safe in case of EMP to protect the comms. The general feeling at the time seemed to be now the Cold War was over they were stripping out the city based sirens to be used as a coastal flood warning system. The much larger RSG Bunkers were/are sometimes sold off as museums or as secure document stores. Anything on military land - who knows? There was a former military bunker on county council land which was to be sold off. Myself and some mates thought about buying it as an underground music venue but were thwarted by the 14-foot thick concrete walls - 'how the the disabled going to gain admittance and where are you going to put the emergency exit?' Fourteen feet, we'd still be digging it out. Happy hunting but be safe.

[@turbo5124]

Great video gentleman,keep up the great work,more and more videos please!!!!!

[@LimaOscar88]

The reason it’s untouched is because it resides within an active military training area in Staffordshire.

[@DarkWolf-et3dx]

Not even joking but I'd live in that setup and feel right at home.

[@TRS-Tech]

Loving the old bt kit and system x kit. Lots of private lines there to by the look of it. Am I the only one here who would love to restore the place and make it into a great little house to live in? I could spend days exploring this place. Great find and even greater video. By the look of the temporary lighting (yellow cables) someone has been doing some work. I can confirm that's an MOD safe and not easy to pick. I would even have room for servers and there are plenty of lines coming in. I so wish I could buy a place like that! Fantastic, Nice one guys. :) :)

[@DerrieNiall]

the reason they stopped restoring it was because of dangerous gas levels, im assuming thats why the door was wide open

[@freedomvigilant1234]

Stuartbe I never worked on System X but did get to look at System Y. That was about 26 years ago, during work experience.

[@kilometer3853]

thanks for posting the video, now it wont be untouched for long, it'll only be a while before its stripped of everything by scalpers and resellers on ebay.

[@Brigade504]

Joaquin Maidana you're true. You are a relic saver like me.

[@seanmurphy1946]

Word of warning when entering underground/confined places like that. The air quality could be poor(mild, spilled/leaking chemicals) and low oxygen

[@DerrieNiall]

thank you, appreciate it

[@Greasyman.]

Best advice for these types of situations. More likely to get locked into a room or encounter gases that are immediately dangerous to your health. KZbin confined space entry safety course. Btw thanks for the video. Be safe.

[@thiswan1]

Rolls Royce engine generators and other things just left abandoned it's a good job that the UK is awash with money! ;) .

[@danielmarshall4587]

I've met plenty of folk who'd have that lot out of there before you could ask them, "sould they be there"

[@rupe53]

++ thiswan1 … It's not the govt is loaded but when you consider the age of the gen sets and the lack of spare parts for a unit that is many decades old, it becomes obvious that it will cost more than the scrap value to remove them and at that point not worth the effort to reinstall it because of the age. If you need reliable power it's better to buy a new replacement for installation elsewhere. IOW, one that's not 70 years old and one that still have service parts available. BTW, these gen sets in the video are probably the second go around and are only 40 years old.

[@mikedowland9949]

Great find! Have you been back recently? Would love to know if it’s still in this condition. Cheers

[@vinylvishrecords]

Should Do another Vid and Have someone in the bathroom sitting on the Shitter n open the stall door and have the guy reading a magazine and say out loud "Excuse Me" ....@11:01 The hose has a Inspection tag signed 7-1992 and the two gold stickers looks like Mar.

old video my friend, check out my new stuff got a better camera now and editing alot better

[@FindItFixIt]

Does the water and power still work or just shut off

[@submissionmaster2012]

I wouldn't mind exploring this site myself, I know where the entrance to the training camp is. Whereabouts did you find the bunker? Do you have a road or street name where it may be closer to?

[@ScottHamilton-hb9sb]

If it's abandoned, buy the land around it, say about 5 acres, clean it out and move in. There is a very good diesel generator in station, change the oil, and fuel and crank it up. Seems like this is a perfectly good home.

[@jamescarter1500]

If it were government wouldn't it be on government property?

[@brianread9781]

M.O.D. land no chance of buying it !

[@sebleagriffiths6833]

This type of bunker is regularly used to accommodate troops on exercise have stayed in ones just like this on the same camp at Swynnerton

[@wisteela]

Fantastic. What an incredible find.

[@damianjones7554]

Great video, wonder what condition the place is in now since you've given the location of the place away as STOKE ON TRENT. Probably been vandalised and stripped of all its value now. Nice going eh?

Not Too Common To Se Bunkers Like This, Most Are Looted Or Vacated.

[@luke_b_rett]

I would want to see those old generators start up and power the place once again

[@artweaver6963]

I want to see the technology. Systems used to keep that place safe and comfortable when occupied by a couple hundred folk!

[@nellennatea]

05:47 the square pieces of paper / mats on floor. Prayer mats?

There's nothing wrong in asking if they be prayer mats. I meant nothing of the kind that you refer to. I have never followed EDL. You are spitting out accusations without facts. You do not know me so how can you accuse me of such?

Wow surprised to see a place so intact!! Usually vandalism and trash threw out these awesome old bunkers when they left like this!! It's crazy to see they actually left all the keys where they actually open the doors they are supposed to!! Poor quality on video though, why all the whispering?? You weren't in a library dude you where in an abandoned concrete box, scream your head off and none would be heard outside!!

[@lewiski1]

This is an active military base so very lucky to get in.

[@Gollammeister]

If it was a current mothballed site then it would be secured prob have be monitored remotely etc that place wasn't secured at all it's been left to time until required in future

[@28YorkshireRose12]

Nice generators... Made by Dale Electric, Filey Road, Scarborough - Not a million miles from here!. They had a lot of Government contracts, and like Petbow before them, used a real Rolls Royce diesel engine on their bigger generators - very reliable machines indeed. And, how about that telephone plant room? There was one hell of a load of Krone IDC cable junction strips in that cabinet - it must have been quite an extensive telephone network that operated out of there. There's still a lot of valuable equipment in that installation, but did you notice that whilst most of the cabling had been removed, the more modern "pyro" cabling was still in situ? One good side effect of pyro cable is that it is virtually worthless to cable thieves. A nice find, but as others have said, camera work lets it down. You never know, if DKT ruffles too many feathers, and after Brexit, we may need these installations again.

[@dwaynepothier6161]

Why whisper if no one is there

[@Alchemist37]

great video and a very interesting site .....but WHY THE WhISPERING??? Jeez that was so annoying, please just talk normally so we can hear you or say nothing at all.

[@DerrieNiall]

yeah we was a little on edge as this was an active military training site and we didnt know if someone was working in there as there was all work gear lying around, but we might be going back with a better camera to do it properly, this was my first video so thats why its abit crappy, better to come tho! thanks for the comment dude :)

NEVER ask on a public page, that how stuff like this gets trashed!!

[@SurvivingTheApocalypse]

This bunker was only officially mothballed in 1997, 'untouched for 40 years' is pushing it a bit far.

[@kyg88]

What’s it called ?

Great video, cool and creepy vibe to this place

[@robertwoods4281]

Dang, if that was in the US I could use those generators, I can't believe there still sitting there. Nice stuff. Y we're they wispering?

[@rupe53]

Robert Woods … Those gen sets are probably replacements for the original units because they are NOT 70 years old. OTOH, I'd bet good money they are 30 - 40 years old so likely hard to find spare parts for, despite the RR name plate.

[@aquilarossa5191]

The toffs spent billions of pounds of public money building bunkers for themselves and their acolytes. The commoners that somehow managed to survive the nukes were left to fend for themselves and if they were caught trying to find food they were to be shot. True story. I get the impression that some of the upper crust quite fancied the idea of repopulating the Earth with their supposedly better breeding. The Malthusian types especially.

[@jayb987]

Yeh I mean god only knows how us commoners survived all them nukes eh...

keith glaysher … yes, that switch gear does look familiar, like some of the older stuff I work with that dates back into the 70s / 80. Most likely the place was revamped from the original gear in that era and these days it will be cheaper to build from scratch than to update again.

Besides, most of us into UrbEx have no intention of getting on the wrong side of the law/getting to that point and having to argue the toss. We're history/engineering buffs, not anarchists. 1st line of defence in site preservation are usually private security and police we come up against when trying to get in ourselves. Probably not a common thought but one worth sparing next time anyone gets turned away from a site :-/ If easy, then it's usually been shagged...
