- Location
- London
Fascinating factoid. Thanks.But lordy it is grey! UKAEA/BNFL headquarters was located just down the road at Warrington for the simple reason that at its foundation it was part of the Weapons program and the largest UK munitions complex in WW2 had been around Warrington as it had/has the most days cloud cover of any area of the UK.
I have the idea that what was clitheroe ICI got put there during the war because it would be harder for bombers to get at. Maybe that also had something to do with cloud cover?
