That's a MoD Stores depot. Just west of the Newbury exit.

Is actually RAF Welford, europes largest ammunition dump (allegedly ) also rumoured that warheads from AWE were taken there during the cold war years, hence it has it's own slip road off the M4 (red and white sign "Works Unit")

There's more info about Welford ad the M4 "secret junction" here: http://www.secret-bases.co.uk/secret4.htm - search for Welford
That's what I mean - just didn't know the base name smile
