  • 3. Hampton Court Palace East Molesey
    Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace in the borough of Richmond upon Thames, 11.7 miles south west and upstream of central London on the River Thames. Building of the palace began in 1515 for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, a favourite of King Henry VIII. In 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the cardinal gave the palace to the King to check his disgrace; Henry VIII later enlarged it. Along with St James's Palace, it is one of only two surviving palaces out of the many owned by King Henry VIII. In the following century, King William III's massive rebuilding and expansion work, which was intended to rival Versailles, destroyed much of the Tudor palace. Work ceased in 1694, leaving the palace in two distinct contrasting architectural styles, domestic Tudor and Baroque. While the palace's styles are...

  • 7. Blenheim Palace Woodstock
    Blenheim & Woodstock was a railway station constructed in the neoclassical style which served the town of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace in the English county of Oxfordshire. The station, as well as the line, was constructed by the Duke of Marlborough and was privately run until 1897 when it became part of the Great Western Railway. The number of trains serving the station was cut in the late 1930s, and again in 1952 down to only six trains a day. The last train ran on 27 February 1954 adorned with a wreath. The station building was initially converted into a garage and petrol station. Then the forecourt of the site was no longer used as a petrol station, but for used car sales only with a building company using some of the land behind the station. There were proposals for demolishing the b...

    Thorpe Park is a theme park located between the towns of Chertsey and Staines-upon-Thames in Surrey. It is operated and owned by Merlin Entertainments. After demolition of the Thorpe Park Estate in the 1930s, the site became a gravel pit. Thorpe Park Resort was built in the 1970s on the gravel pit which was partially flooded, creating a water-based theme for the park. This essentially allows guests to view the park as an island, which is where the park's current island like no other slogan originates from. It was officially opened to the public by Lord Louis Mountbatten in 1979. It has since grown into one of the major theme parks in the UK and now also features a hotel. Major attractions include a large water ride Tidal Wave, a number of rollercoasters including Colossus, Nemesis Inferno,...

Britains Secret Cold War Nuclear Bunker Kelvedon Hatch

Regional Seats of Government or RSGs were the best known aspect of Britain's Civil Defence preparations against Nuclear War. In fact, however, naming conventions changed over the years as strategies in Whitehall changed. In the aftermath of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima and the Russian acquisition of the Atom bomb, it was clear that London could not survive a nuclear bombardment. Although considerable effort still went into secret construction of Military citadels under London, the solution was to disperse the machinery of Government into small pieces in the provinces, where there would be a greater chance of survival.
Experiments along these lines had, in fact, taken place during World War II, when a system of Regional Commissioners did exist, and key departments were moved out of London to Bath, Harrogate and Cheltenham, among others. However the idea of a Regional Commissioner dated back to the First World War and the 1926 General Strike.

The Civil Defence Corps was revived in 1948 by Act of Parliament, and the next year it was decided to construct a network of two-storey, hardened War Rooms built on Government sites and with concrete walls ranging from five to seven feet thick. Construction started in 1953 and was completed by 1965. The sites chosen were
Region 1 (Northern)
Kenton Bar outside Newcastle Upon Tyne, a former RAF operations room dating from 1940
Region 2 (North East)
Lawnswood, Leeds
Region 3 (North Midlands)
Chalfont Drive, Nottingham
Region 4 (Eastern)
Brooklands Avenue, Cambridge
Region 5 (London)
Five sub controls in the outer suburbs were established - see Civil defence centres in London
Region 6 (Southern)
Whiteknights Park, Reading
Region 7 (South West)
Flowers Hill, Bristol
Region 8 (Wales)
Coryton, Cardiff
Region 9 (West Midlands)
Shirley, Birmingham
Region 10 (Scotland)
Kirknewton, near Edinburgh
Region 11 (South East)
Tunbridge Wells

Abandoned Cold War Nuclear Bunker Hidden in Britain

During the late 1980's Southern Water built three emergency control centres one at Brede in Sussex, one at Twyford in Hampshire (now owned by Chubb Security and used as a secure storage facility and the third near Gillingham in Kent serving the Chatham, area. The Gillingham bunker just south of the Farthing Corner services on the M2 is built within a disused covered reservoir. Although completed the bunker was never fitted out or used.

The bunker is within a large fenced compound on the south side of a minor road; it is mounded over with earth and grass with two short ventilation towers on top and a recessed entrance on the north side. There is an emergency exit shaft at the rear of the mound accessed by lifting a manhole cover.
