Where to go to avoid armageddon

If a nuclear bomb were to have dropped on Addlestone during the Cold War it would have been curtains for all of us, but a few Runnymede VIPs might have been alright.

That's because it's come to light this week that borough council was harbouring a nuclear bunker underneath its HQ in Station Road all along.

In the event of armageddon a select few people will have sheltered there along with important documents.

Even now, 20 years after the end of the Cold War, the council is still being hillariously tight-lipped about the bunker, refusing to confirm or deny the pictoral evidence of its existence.

Thankfully they recently allowed in Chertsey Museum to photograph the rooms so there'll be a record of it kept for future prosterity after the building is demolished this year.

Read my colleague Emma Heseltine's report and see the pics
