Warren Row EXCLUSIVE Nuclear Bunker MYSTERY LADDER
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 08. 2019
- We have a peek around inside the former Nuclear Bunker called Warren Row. This was a former Regional Seats of Government HQ.
We also discovered a strange room known locally as a "Lav" ;-)
Many peace protesters spent countless days protesting here but did any see a glimpse inside like we managed to here? Very few photos exist of inside and certainly none of the RGHQ Nuclear Bunker.
We live in hope that the owners of this site may see this video and allow a visit to film the bunker and mines for a final reveal of this place which has been shrouded in secrecy for so many years. Thats if they have a sense of humour when they see this video that is ;-)

You're one of the few exploration channels that does everything right. No spam, no quick cuts, documentation, commentary, it's actually quite relax, the choice of music and the duration of the videos is good.
That drone work is amongst the best I have seen to date.
This includes so called 'professional' operators.
Absolutely outstanding.
I thought so too
Around 7-8 years ago I used to visit that place regularly for maintenance work on behalf of the document storage company who rented it out. A Scottish chap called Jim effectively lived in that small house you found at the entrance. It's an absolute maze in there with many levels and rooms. If you explore the woods a little more you'll find a large brick structure with 2 large doors surrounded by what was a janky chain link fence, this is the vehicular access ramp into the bunker and it headed down into the ground for about 50m. At the bottom was another set of doors which lead into what was the mess room area. If I remember correctly the structure and the doors weren't in the best of condition and at the time could be opened. The wine company section the other side isn't nowhere near as large.
There is another bunker not too far away on the Wargrave Rd Henley, this is a former WWII shadow factory, however it's still in use by the document storage company.
Thanks for the info. Top man. I filmed at the Henley Wargrave Road bunker as its changed quite a bit since I was there like 10+ years ago. Footage coming soon.
We did this for years at disused RSOGs and radar stations and had the same attitude towards causing damage. Good to see you guys being careful!
What a nice find that escape shaft! A perfect afternoons exploring apart from the typical British weather. Loved it! 👌🏻
You have to admire and respect Matt's dedication to exposing the secrets of these old government and military places and Matt's channel is the best for exploring these places 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good drone work man, enjoyed the explore too👌🏼
I was watching The Proper People and your channel just happened to pop up. I am now subbed after watching this video; amazing work!
You can hear the wind from Matt's bottom and even the plop! This is what the internet was invented for!!! :-D
Another awesome video matt thank you for getting us through lock down with your great content 👍👌👊
I love that the business owners in the property now have since seen this, and they had to watch you going for a poo. Brilliant.
Really enjoyed this video's very well documented. Hopefully you can go back and have another look round in crawl spaces and holes. Cannot wait till next one just what I needed after work on a monday
Brilliant drone flying. Really impressed! Stressful to watch in places though. I was ready to duck under the wires and branches!
We got into this place back in the late 80's. The main doors were locked but we were able to get in through the other bunker rear entrance ( someone ripped out the brick work ) and via the shaft nr the radio tower. There was remnants of machine equipment, toilets, canteen ( prices in old money) sleeping quarters and even a upper floor which you could climb out into sections that had not been bricked up. Everything was pretty much smashed up. Shame you couldn't get into the main tunnels, there would have been plenty to explore!
For me, this is a really interesting reminiscence. I entered several times in the late 1970s. At that time it was still the Regional Seat of Government RSG 62. There were two tunnel systems. One was lined as the concrete bunker, the second was bare chalk. The latter had an entrance grill I could squeeze through. It was then a scramble down a steep slope into te bare cave. This was quite large, and long. A side passage connected to the bunker system. This passage had an electric motor driving a two bladed cut down aircraft propeller as the air extraction for the bunker. I think this entrance grill area was excavated after the bunker was sold to form the modern folding door entrance next to the toilet.
The air extraction passage allowed access to the main switch gear room, and from there into the whole bunker. The mess area and dormitories were still fully set up when I first visited, there was an accumulator room full of big glass batteries for the phones, and maps for operations laid out in the meeting room. All the lights and water systems were fully functional. There was a watchman living nearby who kept an eye on the place.
The main entrance then was the one with the part open steel doors. The padlocked blast door behind is a new addition. The curved retaining wall above the entrance doors shielded a large air filtration rig. Air was drawn through this into the bunker by the extractor propeller and expelled through the grill in the bare cavern.
The disused surface building by the old entrance was two generator rooms. This housed a larger 4 cylinder diesel, and a smaller emergency 3 cylinder unit. These could be cranked over on the starter motor at this time. The area behind the generator rooms (on the right looking towards the blast door) had a brick bunded oil storage tank.
There was a slope shaft in the woods that lead down to the deepest part of the shelter. This had a pair of blast doors at the surface level.
The shaft with the ladder lead into the toilet area, and was probably an escape shaft. This area seems to have been cleared as evident from your footage.
The bunker was vandalised badly in the late 1970s, with a traveller encampment set up in the woods nearby. On one visit we heard the in the bunker, and saw the evidence that they had stripped out all the copper wiring and the generators. The entrances were then bricked up. I didn't visit after that.
Interesting video, but it was clear that the winery was still using the cite. This seems more like trespassing than an exploration of somewhere abandoned.
A woke viewer GREAT and by the way site begins with a S 😂😂😂
@@theunemployedtrucker Tresspassing is ok??
I went in here in the 1970's, when it was just abandoned. in those days the decontamination shower block was still there outside, before it became a wine store. There was an emergency entance open then. Surely now though you are breaking and entering a warehouse!
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth
I went in the Bunker breifly in HMS Raleigh in Torpoint. That was well hidden.
oooh youll have to point it out on google maps for us.
Awesome mat thanks
Wow again Matt. Super work. All these places need to be recorded so we can all have a look with out leaving the house. It must be a mammoth task to purchase one of these and all the legal stuff. What a place, just to build the cost must of been massive. I wish I could have been working in these places when being built. What great memories that would give. The Legend Matt.
Some great controlled flying there Matt and another interesting explore.
It would have been interesting if it's security guards close the doors on top.
Awesome can’t wait for the next episode cheers
Just re-watching this for the drone footage again. It's honestly novel, with an ASMR/lucid dream quality to it. Matt, you need to deploy this drone style again, its stunning.
As a technical aspect of production, I think it has far more potential than the 360° camera stuff.
In the 1980s the site was up for sale being in a very dilapidated state and looking deserted. Back down the road around the sharpe corner and just off the road was a double steel door entrance with a tunnel running back and down in the woods. All gone now with no evidence it was ever there. Star Lane used to have a sign stating ‘No Military Vehicles’
Also set back in woods was a raised concrete pedestal with slots presumable for air or defence purposes. What was clever was the top of the plinth was shaped with a sizeable tree atop.
I explored down there with a couple of friends in the 1980s. The electricity could be turned on from a panel down the stairs from the entrance, so the lights worked, we got a fright after ten minutes when the ventilation fans started up. The underground part was large, lots of offices, some bunk rooms with beds still there. There were what had probably been a workshop, a large kitchen area. We also found a big office with a 1:50000 map of the south of England covering one wall. This office had about ten teletype terminals. There were lots of printouts dealing with a simulated atomic attack on the UK, giving estimated deaths in different towns.
@@peterjf7723 wow amazing sir. Probably good it's gone. I also have gone through Sacramento underground systems. Well it's different when I went. People lived under there. Like hundreds. However the cave systems plus the man built bunkers were amazing. You could travel from city to city underground. I only went from Sacramento to folsom.
Huge tip bring proper equipment, the lights out and me attempting to find my way out was unsettling. Never freak out
@@skepticalgenious In the 1960s in Türkiye a man was doing some work clearing out the cellar of his house. He uncovered a tunnel and contacted archeologists at a local university. When they investigated the tunnel they found it lead to an abandoned underground city. This city had been abandoned hundreds of years ago, it went down eight floors and could have housed some 8000 people and their animals.
Hi Matt. Happy new year - I'm new to this exploration lark (thanks to you and another channel). I've done a couple of ROC monitoring posts and the majority of the former RAF Bradwell Bay airfield. Anyway I digress, sadly I've picked up this thing called Covid, and have been confined to my room, and to get me through I'm thoroughly enjoying your channel. Thanks for the content and keep up the good work! Perhaps another visit to Burlington with me? Always been fascinated with that place. Many many thanks.
Well that was a total waste of time.
All you needed do is go on Milton Sandford's website for the opening hours, you might even get to sample some of the wines they hold in stock if you're in the market to buy a few thousand cases.
The full address, postcode, telephone numbers AND Photographs are all freely available online.
It is used by the company as a massive WINE CELLAR, holding millions of bottles, as are other similar bunkers. MSW are one of the biggest wholesale wine merchants in the UK and supply Retail Outlets, Hotels and Restaurants etc. with a vast range of wines/fine wines and vintages.
One look at the entrance and it's landscaped grounds should have told you it's not only occupied, it's well maintained and it's in use.
Also, you kept refering to it as a Nuclear STORAGE Bunker. Nonsense !
It was a refuge bunker for Local Government Officers in the event of something scary during the cold war, and not much else!
They literally advertise tours on the website.
They said NO>
@@TheSecretVault what! Killjoys.
"Should i flush or should i go now..." i kind of remember that song ;-)
This drone flying to check it out makes me think is this what burglars do now? Fly a drone around your home to see if you are in.
Liked the vlog from Margaret P
Great stuff as always Matt, have you been back to film at the bunker in the school grounds, I think you said you were removing the old video of it?
Nah, they first said take the video off you can have a tour around. I said fine and to film. They said no to filming so I said ah well... and put the video back up. Shame some places are just stubborn and spite themselves.
@@TheSecretVault keep up good work brother
Enjoying your y tube videos on cold war bunkers in the UK ,creepy but interesting ,your drone piloting skills are excellent keep up the great work also what was name of the music used at beginning of your drone flight.
Regardless of how you spin it you're still trespassing. You have no respect and I hope one day someone treats your property and privacy the same. Tosser.
I think this is an ex Army facility. The whole design is totally different to RAF bunkers that I have worked in.. I don’t think this bunker is that big your exploring around the outside of the shell of the building.
The area looks like it was used as a working area. For the plant engineers. They usually work at the lower levels as most buunkers are usually wet and have to be continuously pumped out.
Those oil drums are just general purpose lubes or for eng purposes. Oil storage for fuel is kept in la separate facility along with generators.
Nuclear bunkers usually have a blast.
Door and then gas tight doors so even if you had got through the big heavy duty door you would have come across the gas doors which I’ll bet are locked and from the inside.
Day to day operations all the doors under ground would be open, to get in would be via a security block and a policeman or guard would take your ID card and give you a bunker tag and then they would open a turnstile to let you in. Then there is a walk to the blast doors. If these are closed then there is no way inn-or out until they are unlocked from the inside. They can be locked shut for the outside with padlocks if the bunker has been shut down. But they only are closed for the duration of potential risk from immediate blasts. But when the bunker was running under chemical risk to the outside environment, nuclear, biological or chemical then the gas tight doors are shut. Now they have a slight ability to leak air. This is so when there is danger of contaminated air entering the bunkers breathable air supply, huge fans in the plant rooms switch on and draw in filtered breathable air from outside and then pump this up to a little bit greater than absolute atmospheric. The the air supply inside is slightly greater than outside so the positive air in the bunker pisses out like a punctured inner tube in a bike that’s continually pumped up. That way nothing can get in.
Now how do people get in when the building was in lockdown mode? Well there’s a facility called the CCA which is an air lock that is like a side tunnel that is in a C shape. This allows you to go around the side of the gas doors through a serious of rooms each separated by an air lock using electrically operated locks and the guy in control inside sits behind a heavy duty window window so he can let people in and out. CCA stands for chemical and contamination area..you enter into the dirty side in your NBC suit, nuclear biological chemical and you would change out of your dirty NBC suit and enter into the bunker
.
It was originally a chalk mine, converted into a civilian Regional Seat of Government bunker in the 60s. Used until the 70s, then was derelict until the early 80s, was then used by the MoD as an armed forces HQ for the region. Its very very cramped inside, they could never fit enough personnel and equipment in to fully outfit it as an RSG. Plenty of photos around of it from the 60s and 70s, including the interior. Is owned by a wine storage company now.
Wtf I WAS drunk. deleted 🤦♂️
Matt cool drone footage it was the best in super low flying:) which I haven’t seen before also inside tunnel was fantastic on seeing bunker walls within thick rock face which is unusual to see it’s a pity not being able to see inside the bunker😊👍🏻
Great recon and drone flying!
Hahahaha u do make me giggle lol 😆 love ur channel very informative lol xxxx
I do hope that the lens wiping was the second wipe of the day at that site.
In watching your other videos I was wondering when you go to the loo. Oh yes.. so you do 👍
Another great find here keep up the top work guys..
I thought it was funny when you said I gotta poo but I ain't flushing 😂😂
Gas bottles will be for forklift trucks
Ahha... ofcourse. Well spotted.
@@TheSecretVault I have spent a lot of time in very similar facilities so I know what I'm looking at, we should get together some time, it could be interesting for you
Great video Matt. 👍
GTA be worth asking the owners for a viewing, cracking video 👍🇬🇧
I wonder what the word TRESPASSING means.
Great little explore 👍
I've been In there! About 8 years ago before I got into bunkers and military stuff so couldn't tell you much unfortunately. I worked for the electrical company that does the maintenance in there. I'm sure it was archive not wine storage when I went down! The tunnels were just racked out full of paperwork but didn't see it all.
Awesome drone flying!
That's some serious drone skills Matt...
If you ever give up urbexing (which I don't want that to happen) you could always do asmr or voiceovers because you have a good voice
Your videos cool enough. But if that was my private property and I see a drone hovering 10 feet above checking everything out I would blow it out of the freaking air. Shit like that is why people want laws on the use of drones.
Which is more the good reason to wind idiots with guns like you up. lol
@@TheSecretVault if you say so.
@@daveshrum1749 Anyone who threatens to shoot things they dont like should have their gun taken off them IMHO.
@@TheSecretVault when you get to the nitty gritty, there is no need for absolutely anyone to own any form of gun/fire arm, whatever you want to call it.
Excellent video
Awesome work and good on you for showing the t-shirt, ill give u a call when im on the isle with my bike and ill take a tour at ur discretion! :)
Sorry im not sure what your saying. You are not in the UK and when you return you can give us a tour of this place? Im all up for that. You have access to go in?
@@TheSecretVault heya no access i was saying when i get around on my bike ill be happy to come with at any place, originally im from sweden, happy trails :)
WOW!! Look at all the high quality flint in the chalk walls!!
Matt,you want to stay off the nitrous oxide!😅😅😅😅😅
The popo rang and told me to watch this video.
Hi Matt,
Why do you need a toilet close by, when on mission's mate ??
Thanks.
Have ytou ever seen a sheep... it always empties itself before running away. I guess lightening the load before getting serious.
@@TheSecretVault Yes lol!!! Good analagy there...🤭
I see your a S Glam boy Matt? 🏴
Your ladder technique scares the shite out of me😮☠️
You must have missed the 'free photocopier with every bunker ' offer. they sold like hot cakes 😁
i fucking loved it keep them coming
All I can think of.. is that lady in Austin Powers..." SEND IN THE DRONE", ok it's a miss quote. Thank you lovely vid.
Hmmm very interesting, wouldn't it be great if it was the olden days with a lock picker lol. xx
@@EXPLORINGWITHMATTY Pmsl yea just a few and as few nice doggies with our boys in blue too lol. Tell Matt I have screenshots of the map of the underground quarry at Monkton Farleigh if he wants them. ;)
@@EXPLORINGWITHMATTY Yea for sure, tell Matt not to eat this one if he wants it, it actually shows the tunnel entrances and all of the areas in the actual quarry. x
Nice one Warren Row WW2 Aircraft Factory and RSG
Matt, you mention about having a good monitor for the drone, what do you use? Im using my phone with the mini 2 and the footage is really nice to playback, but I feel there is alot more potential, you seem to be almost on fpv. Great video by the way, very soothing stuff.
Mavic mini2 can use the DJI Goggles cant it. Thats the best way to really see whats happening.
@@TheSecretVault thanks pal, I'll look into that.
That bunker is owned by a wine company! They use the bunker to host wine-tasting sessions, such a waste of a bunker!
Just seen warren row bunker or underground area in midsomer murders episode, Schooled for Murrder. Its filmed at warren row and its a cheese storage facility
12:33 a plop too far
Fantastic explore guys wonder what was down that pipe? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🛸🛸
New law says you must have the drone in line of sight, and not flown using phone or glasses ie fpv. without a spotter.
Sweet!. Maybe ask the wine company nicely, and they might agree, you are documenting history. Just agree not to film their booze.
Everytime I go somewhere like that I need to poop as well!!!
Where is it
Couple of pictures supposedly from the inside of the bunker workshops on a site called secret underground cities .
Nice one buddy 👍 having a crap on CZcams lol 💩💩😂
Should have seen if you could have got in over there where you took your poop. Lol
Rob Brydon ?Is that you......
Absolutely love your videos matt would love to meet up if your ever over Worcester
go to the milton snandford wines website i think you might get a picture of the inside
they hold tasting events in a "unique location" hmmm i wonder...
im guessing the wine company is using the bunker to store wine keeping it cool and during the renovations they removed the stuff out and dumped it in the water tank area
Highly likely that the wine company has the interesting part possibly with vehicle access, and the part you saw was what the military ripped out to let them in. Likely there will be a generator plinth somewhere and sump pumps and vent fans.
Great video sir. From experience I'm not going back in a cave without 3 days of food light and oxygen. Light's going out and low oxygen plays tricks in the mind. Not fun
Did you call and ask about to go inside with some one from milton wines with you..? And then go in, after hiding your car first id they say no.
From a legal point Of view hahah made me giggle
And FYI the van is taxed and has mot on it till September lol and also comes up as a grey ford van interesting so ide say the yard is used for storage of some sort not the building
Why didn't you try for the small side-cave beside the bunker's wall?
Muito bom video ! parabéns abraço de Portugal :)
Wine glasses in the toilet? They must've been making that prison toilet wine...
I suspect they use it for wine storage now then. Have you tried a permissions visit?
Im going to send them the video and ask politely - not that it often does much good.
You Matt are fascinating 😃
What drone do you use?
I have to know..have you ever crashed the drone and had to do the ‘can I have my drone back’ ploy? 🤔😂
what was in the tunnel down the side
Have you encountered any drug labs at these places?
We did at Chilmark and Bethel Quarry in Bradford on Avon. The canabis growers had been taken away long before by the police though. Chec out the vids, they are on this channel. Bethel will amaze you because of what they left behind!
Oh yes the Chilmark series of vids are outstanding.
That hole you climbed down is likely the fresh air intake
Did you wash your hands tho?
No bunker is safe with matty around
Other Matty has got some good eyes on him...
Sure has loving the bunker stuff
@@EXPLORINGWITHMATTY great drone control aswell
I thought you couldn't fly drones within 50m of private property?
Yes which is why on this occasion I chgose not to give a f... lol
50m can mean anything.
my kind if video

Running the light in the crapper and flushing the toilet is resulting in such a marginal loss that if you leave some coins by the washing basin you'd pay for it. Or leave a roll of toilet paper after you.
If nothing else it would confuse people a bit. One of the good pranks you can pull as it won't really damage anything.
