In light of the imminent release of the Year in the Country compilation The Quietened Bunker, I remembered that some years ago I posted this on Found Objects about the mighty Burlington Bunker.

The Quietened Bunker is an exploration of the abandoned and/or
decommissioned Cold War installations which lie under the land and that
would have acted as selectively populated refuges/control centres if the
button was ever pushed; a study and reflection on these chimeric
bulwarks and the faded but still present memory of associated Cold War
dread, of which they are stalwart, mouldering symbols.
