Musing on the recent thread about secure places, I wondered about places with secret or 'dark' pasts.

Back in the '60s I was briefly at what was called in those days a 'college of education' - not a corrective institution but a place where teachers were trained. It was not far from Milton Keynes, in a largely brick built building in the grounds of a mansion now open to the public.

Any guesses yet?

Decades later I revisited it, it's better known as 'Station X' or Bletchley Park. In the '60s its wartime history was not known, at least not by us.

Anyone else lived, stayed, or worked in a similar 'secret' place?
