Want to buy Symantec's nuclear bunker?

Posted by Andrew Donoghue

For some odd reason a photo story we did a couple of years ago on Symantec's UK research centre was our most popular story this weekend. The explanation, it turns out, is that said research centre was housed in a former nuclear bunker - and now the bunker is up for sale - hence the interest in our photo story.



For anyone who fancies not just a panic room but a panic house - the bunker is on the market for £300,000.

It would sell as an idea for data storage/data back-up, but i think it's slightly overpriced!

How an earth is £300,000 for a Nuclear Bunker over priced, you'd struggle in some places to get a two bedroom flat for that.

I am not sure what the market rate for an underground house but 10 foot concrete walls have got to cut down those heating bills. Actually, why bother buying it at all - it would be the perfect place to claim squatters rights - just get in, wind the door shut and let them try to evict you!

Just in case there was an error- I had written a post on this, but it isn't on the list.
I was saying that I would love to be able to claim squatters rights on this nuclear bunker, but I would need to know how to access the site.
Anyone with any ideas feel free to post back! Think of the short term publicity that could be achieved!
