Hi Everyone, this is my first posting on the site and features the former UK Warning and Monitoring Organisation HQ on Longley Lane in Goosnargh. I went here a couple of years ago - sorry for the fish eye lense! I'm not an expert in photography - just took a few photos to add to my collection. Site was in excellent condition. Mains power and lighting was still present in some areas of the bunker (along with the characteristic fluorescent tube flickers seen in horror movies!). The former peacetime UKWMO offices are also on the site (pre-fab construction) and a veterinary surgery now uses them. The former emergency generator room, containing an artesian well has been used by numerous animals as a shelter from the elements so conditions are far from ideal in there. The bunker itself though hasn't been touched by vandals or scrap theives and long may it remain so.

The main bunker is still there. It has been sold twice since its closure in 1995 and the last update in 2008 was that it was to be converted into some type of computer hosting centre. Apparently English Heritage stripped out all the ROC / UKWMO contents following closure but where they are now is anyones guess.
