Summary
| Description |
English: Region 6 War Room on the Whiteknights Park campus of the University of Reading. Completed in 1953, this was one of 13 buildings around the country intended to be regional control centres in the event of a nuclear attack. The functional part is below ground. These centres were replaced in the early 1960s by Regional Seats of Government which were (in theory) better equipped to cope with H-bombs. It has since been used by Reading University for document storage, and is Grade II listed. "There are, of course, no windows", observes the listing document. |
