A NUCLEAR bunker in Britain is up for grabs for just 28,000 as Putin pushes the world to the brink of WW3. <\/p>\n
The former ROC Nuclear Monitoring Post in Quadring Eaudyke, near Peterborough, is one of 1,500 spread across the UK. <\/p>\n

The bunker was bought by Phillip Frostick, 56, in 1993 after it was spotted by his friends dad in a newspaper.<\/p>\n
He and a pal bought it with big plans to do it up - but gave up on the idea when they realised the full extent of the cost and effort it would take.<\/p>\n
While it lay abandoned for the last thirty years, it was broken into, trashed and burned - with valuables lost including an award won for the best kept bunker.<\/p>\n
But Phillip believes that it could take just a few weekends of hard work to bring it back to fighting shape.<\/p>\n
He said: \"At the time it was really bought as a bit of a folly, but we never knew what it might become.<\/p>\n
We thought we could do great things with it - and over the years I cant lie and say that Ive never dropped it into conversation. <\/p>\n
At the back of my mind its not getting better - hopefully there will be a club or a history buff that has got a bit more enthusiasm and energy than I have to bring it back to what it would be like.\"<\/p>\n
Many of the monitoring posts were built to a standard design consisting of a 14ft access shaft with a toilet and a monitoring room.<\/p>\n
Officers stationed at the posts would forecast which areas would be in danger from nuclear fall out in the case of an attack. <\/p>\n
They were built underground with many still intact nearly 70 years on from when they were first commissioned in 1955. <\/p>\n
With a guide price of 21,000 to 28,000, potential buyers can view the bunker on Unique Property Bulletin. <\/p>\n
Russ McLean, who set up Unique Property Bulletin in 1987, says a surge of Brits are considering bunkers as tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine continue. <\/p>\n
Many fear the crisis inUkrainecould develop into a wider armed conflict or evolve into World War 3. <\/p>\n
Mr McLean, who served in the police and the Royal Navy, claims to have fielded more than 3,000 calls, emails and texts from Brits terrified by what Putin might do. <\/p>\n
He said: It bothered me. I was almost in tears and losing my bearings at times. <\/p>\n
\"It is not a small number - there is a huge national distress of people that are worried. <\/p>\n
Now in Britain people are either building it or when these things come up - your click rate goes through the roof. <\/p>\n
No telephone was provided, but the posts had a Warning receiver to know when to sound the hand operated siren, and the master post in each area had a radio for a backup to the landline intercom device. <\/p>\n
The 63-year-old continued: There are seven bunkers we have sold in the past 10 years. <\/p>\n
When Putin invaded, our clucks started going up significantly and noticeably in the two weeks that they invaded. <\/p>\n
They have never really come back down.<\/p>\n
My phone goes at least twice a day where you have a conversation with someone about nuclear bunkers. <\/p>\n
I get at least two a day - it averages at three and you can add another thousand on for good measure. <\/p>\n
Thats phone calls - thats not emails, thats not texts, so you can double that figure. <\/p>\n
