GOVERNMENT SECRETS UNVEILED

If you are keen to know more about the Central Government War HQ located in the Bath Stone Mines near Corsham, then you should get a copy of our magazine 'Subterranea' published in 2010.

Learn how the site - known during its life as Burlington, Turnstile and Stockwell amongst other names - evolved and would have been used. We have dedicated a whole issue, 72 pages, to the entire subject; with over 100 photos and diagrams, including a centre page spread in colour.
