My mother was a civilian worker at this now defunct base,and was regularly allowed access to underground levels.
I remember her saying that her and her team would take an elevator down,and while she did'nt know how far down they went,she said the trip down took
several minutes,and when they stepped out the air was so cold,that they could see their breath mist!
Also on site was a civilian fire brigade,of which i personally knew a few,and if they ever recieved a callout to an emergency in the lower levels,they
would get down there,only to be turned away by armed guards saying,"Dont worry.The situation is under control"!
I believe the land has now been purchased by a local landowner,but apparently the government retains the right to reaquire the site if needs be!
