Criggion VLF Radio Station Building

While driving through a tiny village in Wales we passed this abandoned building, which I thought might have been an old clubhouse, further down the road there was an identical building and then a third larger building. Back home and researching its history was far too easy, Its one of the control buildings for a huge very low frequency radio mast which used to be here as a back up for Rugby VLF Radio Station, which communicated with British Polaris and Trident Submarines. Well I thought it was interesting
