Thanks goes out to Jackie Hill for organising this visit (I shall get a CD of images out to you ASAP)
The last time I was here it was nearly 2 months ago, and it was a complete (though stripped and bare) factory and all walls standing.
When I was walking around, I asked the site manager if he had found any underground factories as I heard that there was a shadow factory and he said the place was littered with bunkers and the shadow factory with a warren of tunnels. This said, he also told me that when moving their heavy machinery into the site, they had to break through and fill them in as otherwise their vehicles would have fallen through!!
As it was an official visit, I could not go some places I would of liked to do as Health and Safety got in the way, but tbh I'm not complaining and respect the time the site manager took to take me round.
Pics...
One of the underground rooms still visible...
This was apparently the deepest basement they found (now filled in) but there are still tunnels and small rooms you can see that join on to it just at the sides of the rubble...
Stairs up to the cafe...
The cafe...
View back on to the site...
The pile of rubble in the distance is another underground room...
