Thankerton ROC Post
Opened in 1959 and closed in September 1991, this is one of over 300 Royal Observer Corps (ROC) posts across Scotland. In the Cold War era the job of the ROC was to report the positions of nuclear bomb strikes, monitor resulting fallout areas and relay these back to Group Headquarters.
