A nuclear bunker in Pontefract, Yorkshire, designed to accommodate three people in the event of an attack, will be going up for auction later this month. The guide price is currently £15,000 to £20,000. The bunker has been restored to its original condition by the current owner.
The Royal Observer Corp (ROC) bunker is one of more than 1,500 monitoring posts built to protect volunteers who would measure blast waves and radioactive fallout in the event of an attack. The bunker originally would have contained enough food and water for 14 days, with it also containing communication facilities.
