UK wartime regional seats of government

An explanation caption from Wikipedia.
Regional Seats of Government or RSGs were the best known aspect of Britain's civil defence preparations against Nuclear War. In fact, however, naming conventions changed over the years as strategies in Whitehall changed.

In the aftermath of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima and the Russian acquisition of the atom bomb, it was clear that London could not survive a nuclear bombardment. Although considerable effort still went into secret construction of military citadels under London, the solution was to disperse the machinery of government into small pieces in the provinces, where there would be a greater chance of survival.

Experiments along these lines had taken place during the Second World War, when a system of Regional Commissioners existed and key departments were moved out of London to Bath, Harrogate and Cheltenham, among others. However, the idea of a Regional Commissioner dated back to the First World War and the 1926 General Strike. -From Wikipedia .

1962: The Apocalypse
In 1962: the Apocalypse the world had become more aggressive and the nuclear bomb was seen (only by the military, not most politicians, public, business or scientists) as a reasonable solution to any military crisis. Government and industry was burred in old mines, put in to secret bunkers or banished to remote places as in real life, but more so. Old OTL WW2, existing OTL Cold War and some OTL post 1962 were activated and/or built.
