List of Royal Observer Corps / United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation Posts (A–E) facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Royal Observer Corps (ROC) and the United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation (UKWMO) were important groups in the UK during the Cold War. Their main job was to watch out for and report any nuclear attacks. These groups used special underground bunkers, called nuclear monitoring posts, all across the country.

These posts were like secret hideouts, built to help the UK prepare and react if a nuclear war ever happened. They were designed to survive a nuclear blast and allow trained volunteers to collect vital information about the attack, like where bombs hit and how strong they were. This information would have been crucial for the government to plan how to help people and recover after an attack.

What Were These Posts For?

These special underground bunkers were built to keep people safe and allow them to do a very important job. Imagine a time when the world was worried about nuclear bombs. The Royal Observer Corps (ROC) volunteers would go into these bunkers. Their mission was to detect nuclear explosions and measure the fallout (radioactive dust) that would spread afterwards.

Life Inside a Monitoring Post

Each post was usually a small, underground room, about 15 feet long and 7 feet wide. It had a small shaft leading up to the surface, which was the only way in or out. Inside, it was very basic, with just enough space for three people to work. They had special equipment to detect radiation and communicate with other posts and headquarters.

Why Were They So Important?

The information collected from these posts was vital. It would tell the government where the bombs had landed and how much radiation was in the air. This data would help decide where it was safe to send rescue teams and where people should try to shelter. The posts were a key part of the UK's plan to survive a nuclear war.

About the Posts: Things to Know

  • Many of these underground bunkers still exist today. They are often on private land. If you ever want to find one, you must get permission from the owner first.
  • Most of the bunkers that are still around are in very poor condition. They are often unsafe, so it's best to stay away from them for your own safety.
  • The counties listed in the table below are how they were known at the time these posts were active. Some county names or borders might be different now.
