Corsham Radio Studio is a Cold War telecommunications facility located near the village of Corsham in Wiltshire. The installation was constructed during the 1960s as part of Britain's civil defence infrastructure, serving as a protected broadcasting centre designed to maintain communications in the event of nuclear attack. The facility comprised underground bunkers and associated surface buildings, reflecting the strategic importance placed on broadcasting capability during the height of the Cold War. The site represents a significant example of mid-twentieth-century defensive architecture and the period's concerns about national resilience in the face of potential thermonuclear conflict.
