Thank you Nick and Gabs for a lovely evening, sorry you couldn't make the boat trip! Hope all broken fences are now mended, here's what you missed!
After visiting friends, NOT in Market Drayton but not far away in Audlem, we set off for Hack Green near Nantwich to visit this quite sinister place.
Apres une visite tres sympa chez nos amis nous avons fait une visite de quelque chose vraiment different et un peu sinistre, un abri antiatomique....
Hack Green was a radar station during WWII, then abandoned until 1976.
It was then purchased from the MOD by the Home Office Emergency Planning Division to be converted into a protected seat of government in the event of a nuclear attack.
Pendant la guerre mondial Hack Green etait une station de radar et puis abandonne jusqu'au 1976. Il'etait achete par Le Ministere de l'Interieur, dept pouvoirs speciaux.
Il a coute £32 million et est devenue pleinement operationnel en 1984. il possede son propre centrale electrique,approvisionnment en eau et centre de communications, tous qu'il faut pour 135 personnel de governement et de militaire pendant un attaque nucleaire.
C'etait ouvert au public en 2002 et il vaut une visite.
Peut-etre.
It cost a reported £32 million pounds and became operational in 1984(Thank you George Orwell...). With its own generating system, life support, emergency water supply and communications centre, it had everything to enable 135 civil servants and military personnel to survive a nuclear attack and form a government.
It was de classified and opened to the public in 2002, and is worth a visit.
I think.
