The huge complex would have held 4,000 people in complete isolation for up to three months

A SECRET underground city for government figures to bunker down in if nuclear war broke out is still deep under British countryside – with more than 60 miles of subterranean roads, a lake and a bakery.

The huge complex could have held 4,000 people in complete isolation for up to three months if atomic bombs hit with electric buggies for transport and its own telephone switchboard.

This was said to be the Prime Minister’s private bathroom – should he have found himself locked underground after a nuclear attack

The site, code named Burlington, lies 100 feet beneath Corsham in Wiltshire, and was designed to be the site of emergency government war headquarters in the event of the Cold War.
It was built in the late 1950s and includes hospitals, canteens, kitchens and laundries, as well as offices and accommodation.
The enormous bunker was developed in a 240-acre abandoned quarry and could have housed the Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, the government and even the Royal Family.
