In a forgotten corner of Devonport Naval Base, sits a relic of a bygone era - a Cold War bunker that has been relatively untouched and unexplored for over 45 years.

With so little being known about the bunker, objects are being documented and preserved - with the opening revealing the very real threat of nuclear war a whole generation lived with.

Forces News has gone inside the bunker that has been closed off completely for almost a decade to find out more about its history.
