R.S.G. 9

In the early 1960's parts of the underground factory were converted to make suitable accommodation for around 350 personnel forming the Regional Seat of Government for defence region 9. The system was changed several times during the 1960's and 1970's and the layout was also amended.

Here is a selection of photo's of the surviving RSG areas that were not incorporated into the later RGHQ of the 1980's.

This is part of the BBC's suite from the 1960's - 1970's era. Now very much decayed and in danger of imminent collapse.

This gallery in between first and second avenue used to accommodate the R.A.F, Army and Navy liaison teams. Their comm centre with phonogram booths was down a side passage to the right.

Phonogram booths used to transcribe telephone messages. ( Located at the other end of the bricked off passage mentioned above. )
The RSG's 'Information Unit' with false ceiling and notice boards.
One of the toilet and shower areas from the 1960 - 1970's dormatory areas. Note the shower curtains still in place!
