NE Region Emergency Grid Control Centre
20th century Bunker
The North-East Region Emergency Grid Control Centre was a concrete bunker that housed emergency controls for the North-East region's electricity grid. It was built in 1953, presumably by the British Electricity Authority (BEA), as one of eight such emergency controls in similarly remote areas to provide alternative controls for the electrical grid in case of attack or disruption to the main control centres. The bunker was situated next to other emergency utility buildings, including the PR2 Repeater Station, for telecommunications, and 'RAF Rothwell Haigh', which were offices next to the repeater station. The peacetime controls for the North-East region's electricity grid were at Becca Hall in Aberford.
