  • In the late 1980’s plans were drawn up by the Government for more emergency control points around the country. During the late cold-war era, the one below the Castle Point Borough Council offices was built at the same time as the building, designed to hold officials for up to 30 days in the event of a nuclear war or major disaster.

    Nice time capsule there! Good to see 30 year old technology still ready to go as if it was yesterday.

    I worked on this, the last time I walked around it was a concrete shell and upper concrete supports being poured, weird seeing the same interior completed.

    Nuclear bombs today are more powerful that the ones these bunkers were based on back in the 80's and would almost certainly not survive an attack. Thankfully they were never used, lets hope this continues ! An interesting video guys, keep up the brilliant films, always appreciated.

      That was true even in 1990 - that's why the use of bunkers had greatly reduced even by that point. Many Councils didn't bother.

    Very sensible …except for maybe flooding…might not work in that scenario

      Haha true although I think the flood risk would be for the lower areas of the borough i.e. canvey
