Beneath Manchester's city centre lies the remains of a secret facility built during the Cold War that's now "like a ghost town".
The MEN recently wrote an article about the Guardian telephone exchange which was built between 1954 and 1957 in the event of a nuclear attack. Also known as ‘Scheme 567’, the facility consists of a hidden web of tunnels and a bunker buried around 35 metres under Manchester's streets and buildings.
MEN readers have been sharing their memories and opinions of the Guardian telephone exchange, with some having been down into the hidden tunnels before. Now, the facility lies empty, except for telephone cables that run through the tunnels.
