You all must have seen before but this is one of my favourite sites. This is where i cut my teeth on Urbex when i was probably about 5-6, my family used to have a Caravan down the road and my Dad used to take me here every year for years.
I went back here after being away for about 15 years and the place hadn't changed much, i guess you couldnt have wrecked it more than it already was.

Some pretty boring information on History here http://www.tankmuseum.com/beacon.htm :snore

Anyways some pictures.

Supposedly a very early highly secretive radar station that had been restored since i last visited, we used to scare the bejeesus out my old man by jumping from one of the second floor windows on to a roof about 10 foot away. I remember there being loads of scrap metal inside that was probably part of the radar.
