This "facillity" is near me.

It is a bit wierd. NO signposts, a random entrance in a residential estate. What appears to be, GCHQ esque, underground cooling facilities (white square things in field, same at old gchq, pre-donut facility in cheltenham), and some wierd mound which looks like it opens up, like in movies when the same happens and a helicopter goes underground.

It is next to, but bounded off from, the uk's nuclear enrichment centre, Capenhurst.

I can't find any reference to it online at all, nor on any of those urbex sites etc?

Dunno!

You, however, are now, probably, on a "watch list"!

Looks like a water treatment plant to me.

Water treatment plant, the white panels in the field are vents for the underground reservoir, where is it?

I have never seen a water facility with that big round bunker style thing though, have you?

And it has very high security for a water treatment plant too. Look at the fences... that's more military than civil...

Drinking water sites are very high security, for obvious reasons, it is definitely a water treatment plant sorry.

Yep, men with guns will respond to any alarms at places like that.

I used to work there. You picked the least interesting building on the whole site. (or that's what we want you to think)
