MoD CORSHAM: Personnel Lift (PL) 2 is a Cold War–era military installation situated within the Ministry of Defence estate at Corsham in Wiltshire. The structure dates from the mid-twentieth century and forms part of the broader underground complex developed to house sensitive defence operations during the period of heightened geopolitical tension. The personnel lift served a functional role within the subterranean facility, providing access between different operational levels of the installation. As a component of the post-1945 defence infrastructure, it represents the technological and strategic considerations that shaped British military preparedness during the nuclear age.
