Built by the MOD for Munitions, ROF Wigan is now Milliken carpets, it's very much an active & secure site, but we got permission to go & have a nosey last night.

Around the outside are 10 small shed type buildings. 2 have roof access and are rather odd looking things.
An old lady who was an ex employee during it's munitions making said the sheds were for workers in case of air strike. We did wonder what a brick shed would protect you from exactly? She says they went further underground via a ladder but have now been filled in.
Theres a lot more to this site than meets the eye, a friend is going to have a chat with a former employee to see if he knows anything about other deeper underground bunkers.
