BUNK UP

BUILT to withstand a nuclear war and still containing plan boards and decontamination showers, here is a chance to own a piece of military history that doesn't cost a bomb.

One of the last surviving Cold War bunkers is up for sale with a starting price of £50,000.

Made out of reinforced concrete in 1953, the building, in Brislington, near Bristol, was supposed to shield officials in case of a devastating attack.

Within a few years of opening, regional war rooms became obsolete and the 8,000sqft building was rented to Avon County Council.
