Jon Wyatt Photography - Ventilator tower of Nuclear fallout Bunker near Lavernock, South Glamorgan
Ventilator tower, derelict nuclear fallout bunker, Lavernock, South Glamorgan. Built by the Royal Observer Corps in 1962, this underground bunker housed instrumentation to detect nuclear explosions and warn the public of approaching radioactive fallout. It was last manned during the Cuban Missile Crisis later that year as the government prepared the country for the potential outbreak of war.
