We have rare pictures of what it looks like inside
At the height of the Cold War it was believed everywhere in the UK needed to be prepared for nuclear attack, not least Northamptonshire.The Subterranea Britannica website - which catalogues bunkers around the world - claims that there are at least 31 located in the county.
The bunkers were built deep underground, in order to survive an attack, but many can still be spotted due to large concrete hatches in the ground. The nuclear bunker at Wooton Hall Park has managed to survive in relatively good condition because it is located under the Northamptonshire Archives. From the outside the bunker looks like an old utility door, possibly leading to a storage area but, in fact, it opens up to a set of stairs that takes you deep underground.
