Image: © Keith Williamson Taken: 19 May 2009
Secure behind a double fence, here is the Salford entry point to the Guardian Exchange, the Cold War communication bunker built under central Manchester in the 1950s. This structure is located about half a mile away from the central Manchester entry point (see Image ) and is close to Salford Cathedral. This structure has been rebuilt in recent years, following a break in. See also Image for the Ardwick equivalent.
