The secret bunker at Hack Green was used to prepare for a nuclear attack but is now a visitor attraction
It might not be so hidden anymore, but for decades this vast underground bunker was one of the UK's best kept secret defence sites. Not even local residents had any clue what the concrete entrance hub was hiding deep in the Cheshire countryside for decades at Hack Green.
The museum takes visitors through the history of the site, as well as interactive exhibits - including a terrifying nuclear shelter experience where you can feel what it would have been like for a bomb to go off in the north west and the messages you would have received while sheltering. Officials then redeveloped Hack Green into a Regional Government Headquarters in the event of a war at a cost of £35mn. It would become one of three in the UK that would have run the country in the event of a disaster.
Rodney says: "I had an interest in the Cold War having been involved myself, so I had some bits and pieces myself, but it was completely empty. The site extends to over 35,000 square feet, and we were only using a small part of it, so it was mooted that we should open it as a museum with the unused portion of the bunker. I had no idea at that point that it would grow to the extent that it has.
It was built to withstand the force of a nuclear bomb, as well as provide the necessary life support, water, and supplies to ensure people could survive for three months following an attack. While many of the radar and computer systems are now 'obsolete' all of the life support systems are maintained and are working.
