An amazing bit of WWII and Liverpool History, A secret operations room hidden in clear view which was pivotal in ensuring the survival of Britain in WWII. Lot's of "touchable" items and information to understand the context of the displays. The reception staff were friendly and informative and made sure we were properly briefed before we entered the bunker, well worth a visit.
