Suffolk & North Essex | Guildhall Operations Room Workshop

Join us on a private tour of the Ops and Robing Rooms at the Guildhall in Bury St Edmunds.

The Guildhall’s ROC Ops Room is the only one of its kind left in the country. The No. 14 Group of the ROC based in this room employed state of the art communication technology and the room is set up with the plotting table, wall chart and the teleprinter in the adjoining Robing Room. There is also the remarkable clock, described as ‘The Clock that Saved Britain’, a unique electric Sector Clock for Britain’s air defence network, designed for complete accuracy in order to keep track of raids on the plotting table. The whole room was laid out to ensure that the gallery could clearly see what was going on. Lighting and paint colours were carefully chosen to maximise visibility and avoid reflection or shadows on the table.

Experience the history as part of this private tour.
