šŸ•µļøā€ā™‚ļø Cold War Bunker… Turned Into a Housing Estate! šŸ ā˜¢ļø

How we doing folks!
Here’s something a bit different from the usual ROC posts and tunnels…

In Mistley, Essex, there’s a full-blown 1951 Cold War bunker, once an Anti-Aircraft Operations Room and later an Emergency HQ, that’s now been converted into modern homes known as the ā€œSecret Bunkerā€ development.

We’re talking 600mm-thick concrete walls, original blast doors, Cold War ventilation systems behind glass, and even the old radio mast still standing. What was once a nerve centre for tracking enemy aircraft and preparing for nuclear war is now… someone’s living room. Absolutely mad. 🤯

It used to be the Essex Secret Bunker Museum in the 90s, then closed, left to decay, and eventually transformed into a housing estate, a proper ā€œthen and nowā€ Cold War story.

Would you live in a nuclear bunker house like this?
Let me know in the comments, folks! šŸ‘‡
More bunker history coming soon on IKS. šŸ› ļøā˜¢ļø
