Milfield ROC Post

Uploader's Comments

Opened in 1960 and closed in 1991, the post is situated on Whitton Hill overlooking the Till floodplain. In the Cold War era the job of the ROC was to report the positions of the nuclear bomb strikes and monitor resulting fallout areas and relay these back to Group Headquarters.
