MISSILE AWAY

            The Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker is a former government-owned nuclear bunker in Nantwich, Cheshire.  

Hack Green's involvement in modern warfare defense began in 1941, when the area was a decoy for World War II raids on the large railway junction about ten miles away at Crewe. 

From 1941 to 1949 it was a World War II radar station. In the 1950s it became part of a secret radar network codenamed Rotor, closing in 1958. It then became an Air Traffic Radar Unit. 

RAF Hack Green closed in 1966 but the site was retained by the government. After a decade in mothballs, it was turned into a blast-proof nuclear bunker capable of housing a 135-man post-nuclear attack regional government team for 12 weeks. The site became fully operational in 1984, before being decommissioned and declassified in 1993. 

Inspiration for some of the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
