Welcome to the First Bentley Priory - Defending Britain from Nazi & Nuclear Threat, podcast.

This first episode is intended to give you an overview of the project, future episodes and the brand new exhibition, Defending Britain from Nazi & Nuclear Threat.

Key features of the podcast:

  • We talk to the Museum project officer Chloe Marley
  • We listen to oral histories from bunker personnel when they first arrived at Bentley Priory
  • We listen to experiences of volunteers who have been working on the project

This podcast series is unveiling the exciting stories of a top secret Battle of Britain and Cold War Bunker. Bentley Priory Museum is currently running this project to investigate the history of its underground bunker and how it was a vital tool for the RAF.

For the first time a group of volunteers have been collecting oral histories from RAF, WAAF and ROC personnel who played key roles in the operation of Bentley Priory's Bunker. Join us as we share some of their untold stories.
