cold war

I left the family to cook in the afternoon heat as I retraced my previous days driving to a dropped pin on Google maps. I saw this place as I drove past and waited for the sun to ease before going over the top. AFAIK There is nothing online relating this place or the location, although I will be...

The abandoned NATO radio station in Italy – also known by the urban explorer name "Ice Station Zebra" – was built between 1958 and 1962 during the Cold War as part of the ACE High communications network. The 5-hectare site was operational from 1962 until September 30, 1996. The development of...

I don't want to be giving much information about this bunker out as you can see the condition is amazing , frozen in time from the Cold War. But from what I can gather is this bunker was never activated and just well maintained up until the last couple years. Crazy the things that have still...

Once again, I find myself doing a mega report. Every time I tell myself I’ll make it shorter, only to end up writing more. I’ve done a big intro here to set the scene but there’s plenty. I’ve got to thank UrbanX from DP and @The_Raw for some general advice on visiting these bases. We didn’t get...

While researching bunkers in Malta I came across an article about this cold war substation sitting underneath an old barracks which is currently undergoing redevelopment. The developers failed to mention it in their planning application so it was approved by the Planning Authority without any...

Looking along the Norfolk Coast for interesting sites. This may be one to keep an eye on, the bunker may become accessible in the next few years if it falls out of MOD hands, again. From WikiPedia: "In July 2022, it was announced that the radar at RAF Trimingham would be moved 8 miles (13 km)...

This operations bunker is one of 7 (this one being bunker NO.7) built by Yorkshire water in 1989 to continue operating Hulls water system in the event of a nuclear strike on the UK. This bunker has 7 rooms. A plant room, air filtration room, lobby/communications room, operations room...

Throwback to when I visited Ukraine in 2019. Apologies that I don’t know much about the history of the bunker, but I have put as much information as I can down below. During the cold war, Ukraine was still part of the Soviet Union, and under the streets of Kyiv, many bunkers were made to combat...

Hello! I’m new to this forum and already, it’s been great reading through pages of history and finding a few more amazing local spots to journey to in the future. I’ve been into urbex and the concept of abandoned buildings since I was a small child but I’ve never really consciously searched for...

Me and Angelo this time will explore a unique place for Malta, a run-down nuclear shelter! The structure, dug into the side of Rihana valley was intended as an alternative command post for the British in case of a nuclear fallout during the Cold War. The shelter was built deep into the rock to...

Nowadays, we are hiding form virus. We should stay at home, and wear masks. We find it terrible, but can you imagine that there is something wrong? During the Cold War, people were prepared for the nuclear disaster. They built the shelters where they were going to hide from nuclear radiation...

History: This small bunker was built as a small medical outpost for a airfield. Why it was built as an bunker was probably handy for when the airfield was bombed. After the treat of the cold war went away, this place was closed for good. Explore: Nowadays this small bunker is surprisingly well...
