Anchor Exchange

 

Anchor Exchange

Anchor Exchange is an underground telephone exchange built in Birmingham in the 1950s. It was built together with the Guardian Exchange in Manchester and the Kingsway Exchange in London to provide hardened communications in the event of nuclear war. In common with most civil defence structures of the time it was designed to withstand Atomic bombs although would not have survived a direct hit.
