ESSEX SECRET BUNKER IN MISTLEY, ESSEX

These photographs were taken in June 2002 during a very enjoyable visit to the Essex Secret Bunker. My thanks to Mike Best & the THG for organising the trip and to Dr James Fox (the Curator) for his warm welcome.

Unfortunately the Essex Secret Bunker closed it's doors in December 2002 and is no longer open to the public.
