And finally… Run for cover 

A fully restored 1950s nuclear bunker in Pontefract will hit the market this month, with an auction guide price of £15,000 to £20,000.

The Royal Observer Corp bunker is one of 1,500 built in the 1950s.

Designed to accommodate three people to survive a nuclear attack, it came equipped with provisions for 14 days, a land line, and radio communication.

This one has been restored to its original condition and has direct access from the road with a fence, gate, and its own land.

The perhaps timely sale will take place at a live streamed auction on 21 November, held by SDL Property Auctions, part of Eddisons.

Andrew Parker, auctioneer and partner at SDL Property Auctions, said: “There are only a handful of ROC nuclear bunkers left in the country, so to have this lot for sale in our auction is quite unusual.

“This is only the fourth time we have had a bunker for sale, and the previous three that we have sold generated a lot of interest, and we’re confident this lot will do the same.

“Some of the interested parties are simply curious to see what the inside of a nuclear bunker looks like, however, many are genuinely considering purchasing to secure their own piece of history.”
