Boardmasters 2025 and it's Cold War reminder.
Boardmasters Festival, Watergate Bay, Cornwall, 6th to the 10th August, 2025
The Infrastructure is being created by an army of technicians, a full lineup of talent are ready to perform. The nearby town of Newquay prepares for the inevitable challenge of increased traffic and huge numbers of fans. Traffic is rerouted on the major highways surrounding the venue. The performance area is fronted by awesome cliffs and the ocean, whilst to the rear, many fans may wonder at the crumbling structures behind the security fences. Aztec temples, perhaps?. No, chilling reminder of global tensions that had cooled, but have begun to warm once more.
Adjacent to the huge Boardmasters Music Festival, Cornwall, lurks a huge ghostly Cold War presence. The highly visible structures of The United States Navy Atomic Weapons Department. The once heavily guarded bunker complex Integral to The Joint Maritime Facility at RAF St Mawgan, was inaugurated in 1995, it provided storage for Nuclear depth charges to be deployed in wartime by US, Dutch, and UK aircraft against Soviet submarines. The high security installations were caged by security fences and checkpoints, still in place. The terminal buildings within were double-fenced with killing fields. Armed US Marines manned lookout towers. access to the operational part of the installations was highly restricted. The JMF headquarters building, a three-story structure built underground, set on huge shock absorbing springs with sensitive electrical cabling cased in lead to protect from the electromagnetic pulse of Nuclear blast. The JMF hub processed data from the vast undersea SOSUS listening system. As a cost cutting exercise, the Cornwall based JMF was closed in 2009, the US and UK teams and equipment transferred to the Naval Ocean Processing Facility at Dam Neck Virginia. So the last US Navy Base in the UK closed. The complex was later returned to UK control and has since sat as crumbling monument to a chilling period. There has been no attempt to demolish or re-purpose the area. For the present, at least, the ghostly hardened concrete at least provides a secure backdrop to the most peaceful of human endeavour.
