This is another of the hardened control centres that were constructed by utility companies during the cold war. This site is similar to others constructed by Thames water such as [Reading](www.subbrit.org.uk › sites › reading-thames-water-control-centre), [Blunsdon](www.subbrit.org.uk › sites › blunsdon-thames-water-personnel-shelter) and [Donnington](www.subbrit.org.uk › sites › donnington-thames-water-control-centre).
