I have 4 places available to visit this former underground facility that was
created for the Rover Factory during the War and later became a Cold War
nerve centre and Nuclear Bunker. Many artefacts remain it is a 2 hour guided
trip as is a fascinating piece of history.
Before PC tells me it is non mining PC can I tell you that it was mined in
the local Sandstone and as I remember took 3 years to create
It is located about 6 miles North of Kidderminster on the Kinver Road.

If you are interested please let me off line. The owners will not allow
photogrphy either
