Thought this might be worthy of putting up to document the ROC.

There are a few posts (or where some are no longer operational) that after the ROC was stood down in 1991 were reused for storing seismograph equipment placed in by the AWE (Atomic Weapons Establishment) for monitoring radiation levels and all that toss.
There were 6 posts with this stuff, some of which are documented on here: Middlesmoor (Yorkshire), Barham (Kent), South Creake (Norfolk), Lampeter (Cardiganshire), Llanuwchllyn (Merionethshire) and St. Breward (Cornwall).

I myself have visited St.Breward (link below) and it has some odd equipment on the surface, all looked to be still in use as you can read but some have been shut down over the years so its not certain if there still going. When questioned about these seismic stations in 1994 the public relations officer at AWE Aldermaston said "These form a part of the Ministry of Defence network of seismic stations used in connection with nuclear test ban verification. We have 6 seismic stations at former ROC sites.

Also found this from a guy who found way back in 1994 that a former post had been broken into so he had a look into it and this is what he heard.





To make your lives easier ive also done a list below of them and their current condition:

Middlesmoor: Stripped and now Locked

Barnham: Open and stipped of Seismograph gear.

South Creake: Open and only some remains of Seismograph gear.

Lampter: Appears open and flooded but possibly still in use, surface equipment still around.

Llanuwchllyn: Locked and still possibly operational as all surface equipment is in good condition and well kept.

St.Breward: Locked and kept in good running condition, high chance of still being operational.

There is however a seventh post which is still confirmed as running which has been opened in recent years, the post at Wroughton in Wiltshire. Below are pictures of it inside and out showing the equipment.

It seems no one has really addressed what has happened to these posts so im sending a letter/email to them inquiring, ill post the results when I get them!
