Visited with Buddah and a friend.
We set out with two explores in mind, an ROC post and the ROF shown here. After a fail at the ROC we moved on.
The site here was built as a storage facility for the near by ammunitions factory in Chorley. The site remains in use by BAE Systems.
Theres numerous derelict buildings dotted around, including an old farm house and barns, pillboxes, what seems to be a train work shop, parts of the old train line and some buildings which are still in use as offices and a canteen. The 3 large steel doors the provide entrances to the underground bunkers which seem to go back into the hills.
The site is littered with CCTV, whilst some area seem like a complete ghost town, others seem very occupied.
Theres a lot of speculation about what goes on in the bunkers and quite a bit of rumour online. There are supposedly reports of military police moving people on from the area and rumours of there being trains stored in the bunkers for the 'strategic reserve'. Other reports go on to say that the steel doors are actually entrances to tunnels which run from this site to the ROF in Leyland and they were used to transport munitions from factory to store. How much of these are true, I dont know.
Im still learning with the new camera, so bear with me! Buddah's got some more pics which Im sure hell add later..
The basement of the farm house.
Animal skulls positioned around the basement. The floor was also littered with animal bones.
