The nuclear retreat, fitted with body bags, gas masks and a red telephone box, was used by Ministry of Defence in Legbourne, Lincolnshire

Cold War bunker in the pretty UK countryside is up for sale for £25,000 and remains in its original condition.

The nuclear retreat, fitted with body bags, gas masks and a red telephone box, was used by Ministry of Defence in Legbourne, Lincolnshire.

Built in 1959, the small vault accommodated three observers in case of a nuclear attack, and was supplied with enough food and water for two weeks.

It is accessed via a 14ft shaft in a remote rural location, approximately four miles from the market town of Louth and around 11 miles as the crow flies from the North Sea coast.

  1. Thanks again for a well informed and written article. Getting all the facts before supporting a cause is beneficial. There have been so many organizations that have raised money support ending HIV/AIDS who we find out later are wasting our dollars often fraudulently. I stand with you that giving Dr. Paul a one million dollar check is not the right call. I hope the #endHIV ends this campaign and finds something more worthy to support. awesome news thanks to debunk this myth. I am an activist for PLHIV in India. I give all these updates to my friends who suffer from HIV. Thankfully, I do not update any bullshit like that doctor said because undetectable=no transmission is what I am pushing here.
