MOD Corsham: Lamson Terminus Room and associated Fan Room is a Cold War-era underground facility located within the Corsham area of Wiltshire. The structure comprises a pressurised room designed to house telecommunications equipment, specifically Lamson tube systems for rapid pneumatic communication, together with an adjoining fan room that provided ventilation and environmental control for the installation. Dating to the mid-twentieth century, the facility reflects the strategic importance of Corsham as a centre for government and military operations during the Cold War period, when subterranean infrastructure was developed to ensure continuity of communications in the event of nuclear conflict. The Lamson Terminus Room exemplifies the engineering solutions employed to maintain secure, protected command and control capabilities beneath the Wiltshire landscape.
