Comcen - a photo on Flickriver

Comcen

            Not all of Burlington was squeaky clean and well maintained. The 'Comcen' (short for Communications Centre) was a massive area that was abandoned before the bunker had even been decommissioned. 

The massive complex, probably the size of several football fields was still full of communications equipment and all sorts of crazy 'enigma' style telex machines that was presumably where government would have attempted to communicate orders to 'whatever' would have been left of the outside world. 

Discovering this section of the bunker came as a complete surprise really. It had been abandoned a long time and had become damp and generally very derelict. Because of that access to was not permitted to the select handful of 'press' and 'historians' who were allowed inside Burlington after declassification and therefore pretty much no photos existed of these areas until we got in there and braved the warnings of killer mould spores and asbestos ourselves!
