Here's a little history on the place from Wiki
"Originally the Aldermaston laboratory was known as the Central Research and Support Establishment and was part of the Home Office. As well as having a Forensic Laboratory it had research facilities where the Lion intoximeter was pioneered later leading to the pioneering use of the hand held breath alcohol roadside tester and the DNA national database was first worked on and initially tested on all staff and police forces to ensure its reliability. The organisation later pioneered the use of large scale DNA profiling for forensic identification and crime detection when it moved the facilities to Birmingham. This later enabled the launch of the world's first DNA database on 10 April 1995."
This was the final visit of our weekend, myself, Bigdirk, Piffblazer and 2 non-members headed back to our main target for the day. Having seen the double fences in person we were quietly confident we could get past them, which was only slightly stalled (and scratched) by a whole load of Hawthorns. Getting in was a little tricky but patience paid off and we were in. Disappointingly it was rather empty, although we only managed to gain access to one of the buildings so it's possible all the cool stuff in Urbex Devils (I got the name right!) thread is still there, however the power was off.
Here are a few pictures:
I see you.
Definitely one for a re-visit, I'd love to crack that second building.
