Summary
| Description |
During the Cold War Britain's civil defence against a nuclear attack was under the authority of the United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation and the Royal Observer Corps (ROC). The ROC had more than 1500 small underground monitoring posts located all over the country that, in an emergency, would be manned by civilian volunteers who would report any nuclear detonations and subsequent fallout to larger control centres. All the small posts and larger centres were closed after 1991 when the government considered the nuclear threat to have gone. Many have been destroyed but a small number have been refurbished as tourist attractions. This centre, in York, has been returned to original condition and is an English Heritage Scheduled Monument, open to visitors. |
