Nuclear bunker War room to be transformed into an events space

The Grade II-listed war room was built in the 1950s and is based on the site of a new housing development in Brislington.

Housebuilder Bellway is building a neighbourhood of 160 homes at Flowers Hill Grange - an 8.6-acre site, which also included vacant office buildings most recently used by the Department for Work and Pensions and Brislington Driving Test Centre.

These have now been demolished to make way for the housing scheme but the nuclear bunker, on the southern edge of the development, has been retained.

The Bristol War Room, built in 1953 to co-ordinate defence in the event of a nuclear attack, was sold at auction last month. It is understood the new owner - a company called Locat Holding - is planning to use the bunker as an events space.
