A rare opportunity to gain access to the Decontamination Suite that formed part of the Cold War US Airbase at Greenham Common with guided tours through the facility explaining the history of the building.
This section of Building 274 is attached to what was the command centre for the 501st Tactical Missile Wing. The purpose of the decontamination suite would have been to cleanse personnel of nerve agents in the event of a chemical attack and was designed to be self-sufficient in air, water and sanitation following an enemy attack.
Greenham Common Control Tower are running tours throughout the weekend of 20th/21st September.
No need to book, just turn up at Building 274 and they will be taking groups through the building every 30 minutes.
