If anyone is around the Cheshire area and has an interest in seeing what a fully operational bunker looked like, I’d recommend searching for ‘Hack Green Secret Bunker’. It’s now a museum and is a really interesting day out.

Hack Green is certainly well worth visiting as everything thankfully has been preserved. Very easy to find.....theres a big signpost on the main road which says "Secret Bunker"!! 🤣

Great video! Amazing as always. Those areas that you saw segregated into regions were called "Stop Lines" - They were delineated by Pill Boxes and other fortifications intended to hinder tank and troop progression through the country during the Second World War. There are many hundreds of exaxmples left along the lines although much of it is now invisible to the passerby.

Thanks for letting us know! Good to hear that we saw something that is missed by the everyday person.

I worked in a bunker similar to this in the 1970s. I was a comms tech, looking after the phones, teleprinters and radio equipment.

Personally I love the handheld camera look, it really suits the filming style and gives it a bit of a "raw" look. Great video as always.

You guys just can't make a bad video !! What a great Job. your narration is by far, the best. It makes me feel like I am right there with you. Thanks so much for your hard work making these. All my best from the US, Jim

Another stunning video guys which brought back memories for me as a spent a few years as the Materials, Engineering and Transport Manager on a missile test base. One point I would like to raise and I am sure you are careful on your explorations, however be very careful in these generator rooms as that white powder may have been asbestos which was used to fire line the walls of many of these type of facilities! ( I am sure you did not touch it). I lost my wife to Mesothelioma which is caused by asbestos and its a horrible illness, so please take care! With regard to the "shake" on the video, I feel it makes it more real so happy to see it stay.

Wow, glad our video brought back those memories for you, that sounds like a rather fascinating profession. I'm sorry to hear about your late wife. We do take care in most buildings, but this bunker was a concrete structure that was watertight from mould and there was air coming in via the open door. The shake definitely does add in our eyes, we desire the 'real' factor of our videos and hope it helps our audience feel as if they are there.

@@Urbandoned Thanks lads. Yeah it was the one of the best jobs I ever had and seen many a thing on base that most people think only happens in James Bond movies lol

Thanks so much for this one again guys. I love these sorts of places so much. As a teenagers, my friends & I would go (what we used to call) "Bunker hunting" near the north-east coast, but all we found were just completely empty bunkers with no features, signage, doors, not even any infrastructure left behind. It was like they'd built the concrete buildings, but never finished the rest. Although most of them have long since been demolished, they were still good to find as kids. Watching your videos certainly brings back some nostalgic memories from when I was younger than you guys are now. So I truly appreciate ever single minute of work you guys put into ever single one. Thank you. As for the camera work, I must agree with Dazzy 84 - both methods can give a sense of stability on one hand, but that rough and ready look on the other. We all already know that some of the camerawork can be hard to get sometimes, but as long as it's not too shaky or blurred then it can add to the mood and feel of how it was shot. Either-way, it's all awesome!

Nice 👍 so wonderful 👍 some paperwork, maps also left behind

Another great video guys! For me, seeing all the old electrical fixings and infrastructure is the best part... Plus all the paperwork that's been left! I could spend hours exploring that place! I also love how eloquently the narration and voiceover is done too! These videos are worth watching just for your use of words! Also, I think the somewhat 'shaky' camera shots add something extra to the videos. Smooth Gimball shots might look 'too perfect'...

Thank you, the lack of stabilisation makes the walkthroughs more riveting in our opinion. Not heard of them!

As an urbex KZread channel too, we do not have stabilized cameras. We have gotten some comments that the footage can sometimes cause some slight vertigo, but I think most people appreciate the natural aspect of handheld footage. It is more in line with the unknown exploration aspect. By not looking too polished. Keep up the good work. We love your videos!

We agree, the stabilisation is much more realistic and natural, as you say. It helps add to the 'explorative' vibe, rather than a cinematic piece. Although, we would like to feature both in our content, so maybe we will browse stabilisers in the future. Thank you :)

It's a shame the government don't care about the people today we need them now more than ever

if think the camera shake is adds to the mood of the video and that buying a stabilizer may make the shots better but overall the videos mood may be affected in a negative way

I think these places seem far creepier than a usual 'spooky house'. It comes across as very tomb-like below. The dead ivy outside makes it look like it's escaped from an H P Lovecraft story! Ironic timing given what's been going down this week. Didn't think much of the end of the world drinks options! Thanks for a very atmospheric explore.

It was so nice with no grafitti or trashing at all! It's the idiots doing that and , sadly , there's so many of them about!

Really good output. Only real criticism is the annoying ratchet noise as you increase or decrease the (head?) torch brightness - sounds like someone cracking their knuckles 🤢.

The bunkers above ground were easy targets. The ones here in America are underground and I am amazed how many there are and so many are still hidden, unused but owned by the government and they were built in the early 50s To see a facility the size of a Walmart and 3 stories high, but 150 feet underground, and all that you see if a massive empty field with a road going into the center of the field to the small building that gave access to the facility To think, the government dug a massive open quarry and built these and people in the area all knew about it, and they ALL kept it secret, never talked about it, even to this day One of these places in upstate NY I talked to the local farmers and the restaurant and asked how the government could build a facility this massive and keep it secret, and they all watched it be built, but were so afraid of nuclear war and they were afraid of the government So they never spoke about it and their children were never told about them Even when it was being sold publicly people were still afraid to talk about it. I was able to get access to several of these bunkers during Hurricane Irene and Lee and found other still active bunkers on maps, and I still don't know how they could have built some of them They are under mountains and some were old mines, but one of the best places that was listed as being expanded after 9/11, the government had used a highway being built as the cover for all these huge bulldozers and they did additional work after 9/11 and said they were going to use tunnel boring machine for the highway, but it was actually for expanding the mountain bunker

I work for Clearway security. This place was locked and secured, even to the point of the door being filmed in this video. Someone has broken in and taken everything. It seems quite clear who's done it!

You never disappoint us. I really appreciate your effort and dedication to make interesting videos for us ❤❤

It dose not look that old in fact i still see chairs and coke cans around like the ones there today.Its you .If one is 18 years old or around it may look old

I'm surprised there is no 'domestic' accommodation. Presumably if there was a cold war nuclear attack we would do it during office hours only!
