Drakelow Tunnels, a former WWII underground Shadow Factory used by the Rover vehicle manufacturer to make military plane engine components for the Bristol Hercules and Rolls-Royce Pegasus engines. Construction of the tunnels started in 1941 by blasting the tunnels out of sandstone. At its height, 700 people worked at the site during World War II. After the war, the site was reused as a nuclear bunker and became a Regional Government Headquarters (RGHQ 9.2) that would have managed the local region incase of nuclear attack during the Cold War. The site was sold off and declassified in 1993. Pic Stock Photo
