It seems that the conspiracy theorists out there are can see smoke coming from the fire in the hole I mentioned yesterday. Mancunian Mulders and Skullys seem intent on convincing themselves that the fire was in an old abandoned Cold War A-bomb proof telephone exchange. Quite how that has any great import on the story, I cannot say but it spices it up a little and did take me to a great site concerning Cold War history in Manchester and the very same Guardian Underground Telephone Exchange. The photos of the construction have an evocative austere post-war feel to them, hinting at the very real fear and concern some folks felt at the time.
