RGHQ 9.1, Swynnerton, Staffordshire

Author(s): Wayne D Cocroft

Regional Government Headquarters RGHQ 9.1 is located within the former Second World War Royal Ordnance Filling Factory at Swynnerton which is now used as an army training area. It is about 12 km (7.5 miles) northwest of Stafford. The bunker is sited on the northern side of Valley Road, an internal training area road, at the southwest end of what were the Group 9 explosives storage magazines. The bunker was probably constructed in the late 1960s or early 1970s and was maintained until the early 1990s.
