Dave and Myself stopped in here the other week, Its somwhere we had been wanting to look at since this post back in August: [ame]http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=12292[/ame] With a few days in the midlands we were very glad that we made time, The control room itself is great, The ceiling light is really unique, the lens glass seems to be custom moulded to throw out light evenly into the control pannels. There's a wealth of GEGB era paper work dotted about.
Sadly when we got inside much of the place was in a bit of a state, so we actually spent most of our time attempting to make the control room look presentable, removing much of the rubbish and putting the oak desk back up the right way and in its correct place.
Dave has been doing the research on the place so I will leave the specific history for him to post up. I had hoped this was going to be one of a series of control stations around the country but it seems it may be unique after all.
