Sunderland Nuclear Bunker Autumn 2010

[theoss]

Not far from Sunderland towm centre, is what appears to be either a nuclear shelter, civil defence bunker or some other form or Cold War shelter- little seems available online.

There isn't really much to it either. One large room, a couple of toilets, a plant room and connecting corridors.

Not accessible- the remains of the access stairs;

Nice. Have you tried any enquiring locally as to what the place was?

Just to add. Entrance to this bunker has since been sealed. There is no further access at the present time.

It looks like an interesting site, was there much asbestos down there?

I don't really chance across any notable explores these days, so when I saw the entrance to this place, I expected just a little cavey thing, once inside I reaslised it was bigger, and got my hopes up, but ended up being a bit dissapointed.

NOTE- these pictures are still from November 2010. The steel gate in the picture below has now been used to secure the access- there was suggested someone was living in there, so it was checked out and secured. I have recently been back to this location, and it is still very secure.
