MoD CORSHAM: Slope Shaft (Emergency Exit) A is a Cold War-period underground facility located within the MoD Corsham complex in Wiltshire. The structure dates to the 1950s and forms part of the Corsham Quarry complex, which was developed as a strategic military installation during the early Cold War era. The slope shaft functioned as an emergency exit route serving the subterranean headquarters and storage facilities excavated within the limestone quarry. The site represents the substantial civil defence and military infrastructure investment undertaken by the British government during the period of heightened Cold War tensions.
