Just seen this, I've chilled on the roof of that many a time. Infact I think I was there when the throw up was done on the side of the place.

I think I recall R1 saying something about the Frodsham one being a recording studio for K-Class?

That was in Borras in North Wales. A Disused ROC Bunker.

Some good pictures there. There was a period back in 2007 when the doors were insecure for about 6 months. I got a good look round then - unfortunately, local chavs had gone in and completely trashed the toilets. The watermain was still on which resulted in the whole building flooding from the 1st floor down to the ground floor. There was a lot of trash from its ultimate days as a shooting club with paper targets strewn all over the place. Also, a room full of floor to ceiling cabinet safes which were used to keep the firearms secure.
