A big site and even with a speedy step I only managed a glimpse at the buildings in my 3 hour round.
The M.S. Factory, Valley was a 2nd World War site in Rhydymwyn, Wales - that was used for the storage and production of Mustard Gas. It was later also used in the development of the UK's atomic bomb project. More recently, it became a bulk storage depot for emergency supplies.
There is an excellent read on Wiki that covers the full history of the site. I will be returning in a few weeks to explore the tunnels.
