Regional Seat of Government
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Regional Seats of Government or RSGs are underground concrete bunkers designed to house a small staff of dispersed British government officers during a nuclear war in order to provide a continued government after an attack, in the likely event that central London and the national government had been destroyed.
They were constructed at dispersed locations around the country during the 1950s and after. Many of them have subsequently been openly identified and the sites published.
