Site Name: Burntisland Railway Control Centre
NT246857
Burntisland
Fife
In the 1950's the British Railways Board planned a network of Emergency
Control Centres but only 4 out of the original 30 were built with the
rest of the bunkers shelved in 1956. Those built were at Burntisland,
Brickett Wood, Knebworth & Huyton Junction.
The Burntisland Control Centre was built in 1955. The building, which
apparently was never fitted out, is a 40' X 120' flat roofed single
storey blockhouse with a blast door at the end of a dog leg passage
on one side; there is a blast wall in front of the passage.
Inside there is a spine corridor with rooms along either side. The
bunker, which is pained white with the word 'The Dive Bunker' painted
on it, now houses a diving shop.
