Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker The Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker is a former government - owned nuclear bunker located at Hack Green , Cheshire , England . History . The first military use of the area was in World War II , when a Starfish site was established at Hack Green . Its purpose was to confuse Luftwaffe bombers looking for the vital railway junction at Crewe . A Ground - controlled interception ( GCI ) radar station was added . In the 1950s , the site was modernised as part of the ROTOR project . This included the provision of a substantial semi - sunk reinforced concrete bunker or blockhouse ( type R6 ) . The station , officially designated RAF Hack Green , was also known as Mersey Radar . It provided an air traffic control service to military aircraft crossing civil airspace . The site was abandoned and remained derelict for many years , until the Home Office took it over . They rebuilt the R6 bunker as a Regional Government Headquarters ( RGHQs ) - one of a network of 17 such sites throughout the UK - designed to enable government to continue in the aftermath of a major nuclear attack on the UK . In about 1992 , following the end of the Cold War , the Home Office abandoned its network of RGHQs and sold many of the sites . This one was bought by a private company and subsequently opened to the public in 1998 as a museum with a Cold War theme . Current status . The bunker is open to the public most of the year . It has a substantial collection of military and Cold War memorabilia , including one of the largest collections of decommissioned nuclear weapons in the world . It also houses Ballistic Missile Early Warning System equipment originally from RAF High Wycombe . The museum includes information about the function of the bunker during the Cold War . There is a simulator designed to simulate conditions in the bunker during a nuclear attack . Visitors can watch the BBC film " The War Game " , produced to inform the public of what would be likely to happen in a nuclear attack on Britain . Younger visitors to the museum can navigate the rooms in a game to find the " Cold War Spy Mice " ( a large number of toy mice positioned in numerous rooms ) , which avoids the more disturbing aspects of the bunker , such as the medical room , where a mannequin is depicted with symptoms of burns and radiation poisoning ; the objective being to locate as many mice as possible and return their report to the desk for a prize . If all of the missiles at Hack Green were armed , the base alone would be the 7th biggest Nuclear Power in the world . On television . Hack Green was featured in the British television series episode two in which the team investigates the murder of a soldier . It featured once again in Series 10 .

W . C . Sellar Walter Carruthers Sellar ( 27 December 1898 – 11 June 1951 ) was a Scottish humour ist who wrote for " Punch " . He is best known for the 1930 book " 1066 and All That " , a tongue - in - cheek guide to " all the history you can remember , " which he wrote together with R . J . Yeatman . Early life . Sellar was born at Golspie in Sutherland , the descendant of Patrick Sellar who had taken a leading role in the Highland clearances . He won a scholarship to Fettes College where he was Head Boy in 1917 . After serving briefly in World War I as a Second Lieutenant in the King ' s Own Scottish Borderers , he took a degree in modern history at Oriel College , Oxford ( which , as recorded in " 1066 and All That " , was awarded through an aegrotat in 1922 ) . It was at Oriel that he met his contemporary Yeatman , and struck up a lifelong friendship . Although the two produced brilliant work together , they were entirely different personalities : Sellar was somewhat shy and introverted , although he enjoyed acting . He wrote melancholy poetry in addition to dry humour . Teaching career . On leaving Oriel , Sellar worked as a schoolmaster at his old school Fettes , leaving in 1928 when he moved to Great Marlow in Buckinghamshire in the hope of becoming a full - time writer . However the financial burdens of bringing up two daughters led him to take a job at Canford School in Dorset from the start of the school year in 1929 , and he went on to teach at Charterhouse School from 1932 until his death . At first he taught history , but later moved to teach English and he became Housemaster of Daviesites from 1939 . He used his own ration and money to buy extra food for the boys of the House during World War II , which made him very popular . Writing . Sellar had begun to contribute to " Punch " in 1925 when three humorous short stories of his were published ( he also contributed to other journals around this time ) . His collaboration with his old University colleague Yeatman , who was also writing for " Punch " , appears to have begun in 1928 during his period out of teaching . The first part of " 1066 and All That " appeared in " Punch " on 10 September 1930 , taking its title from Robert Graves ' autobiography " Good - Bye to All That " . Sellar ' s contribution is particularly noted in the comic exaggerations and name confusions ; his knowledge of English literature also inspired the book ' s many literary allusions and pastiche s . After completing the book , Sellar worked with Yeatman again on a sequel , " And now all this " , a parody of general knowledge , including subjects as diverse as geography , knitting and topology , which is relatively little remembered . The 1933 book " Horse Nonsense " was credited to the two but is largely the work of Yeatman , while " Garden Rubbish and other Country Bumps " is also credited to the two but largely Sellar ' s work . It is noted for a more nuanced form of humour which depends on elaborate word - play .
