omnicans Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I went and took some photos of this place a few years ago, after hearing all the rumours about it being a nuclear bunker etc. The amount of security guards who appeared, followed by cops was quite scary! I reckon theres a lot more to this place than people let on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrorist Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Looks like the place hasn't lost its mystique after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon theres a lot more to this place than people let on! It's a banks datacentre - what do you expect ? Why would anyone want to take pictures of it - you can only see the front of it from the road and that's not a pretty sight, to get to take pictures from any other side of the building means acting suspiciously and climbing walls fences - any company's security would be out in force if they saw this type of activity. Having been inside the building myself , there is nothing mysterious about it, very much still as described in earlier posts but with no burning of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeekC Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 You can find it on Google Maps and there's even a logo planted on the grass (which suggests it can't be very top secret)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooferman Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 is it really a good idea to have an Public thread on where as secure data centre is!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgcomp Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Im currently sitting inside the building on a sunny afternoon working. I can confirm no cash is burnt here, only computers, and no electrified fence... But going back to the original post, to confirm it's telly tubbyness, we do have fish in the pond, bunnie rabbits hopping around the grass, and ducks with cute ducklings in the pond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grissom Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I think a third exists down south LNDC (London), but cant be sure. Is that the one they are building at the moment ? http://www.itpro.co.uk/news/162483/hsbc-invests-in-new-london-data-centre.html "HSBC is building a new, custom data centre to support its entire European IT infrastructure, with the aim of completing construction by the end of this year." There are also some data centres in Birmingham and Leeds from what I have read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
