Summary: Documentary records the secret subterranean military installation at Corsham in Wiltshire, a complex of tunnels sited in former quarries, used during the Second World War for the storage of munitions and for air defence control purposes, then converted during the Cold War era into a communications base as well as safety bunker for accomodating 4000 key government personnel in case of nuclear attack. Modernist murals painted by Olga Lehmann in 1943 decorate some walls.
