Well! What a morning! I found this place had been shut for five or so years and didnt even realize it! Having had my birthday yesterday with True British Metal to stay over for dinner, and the night, we woke early after a recce the evening before to go to the former TRW site.
We clambered inside and snapped away merrily for a good our or so, until tripping a PIR made us make our exit swiftly; hanging around for a while taking externals and not seeing anybody arrive to reset the PIR and search the place. I may return soon!
Everything was pretty much on, lights, fans, air conditioning worked but was off, running water, flushing toilets, very weird indeed.
We finished with a small derelict shop in Aylesbury but epically failed when we found it was full of squatters!
TRW shut, with the loss of 84 jobs in 2005. They produced all sorts parts for vehicles including safety belts and interior fasteners.
