The site's official name is Stamford lodge-Huntingdon Life Sciences. I visit this place on the 19/09/05.The place has lots of stuff still in place from when it was still in action,but what a trek!! The security on the place is amazing!
Each compound has its own fence, and to get into the inner compound where the main buildings are you have to get through three 10 ft high security fences!! Luckily someone had been through before me are made holes in the fences,still plenty of razor wire about to rip your jeans to bits!! There are also 3 gates to the inner area,of which I managed to take some quick pics off! I didn't wan't to hang around to long as there were a few CCTV cameras knocking about.
Original Stamford Lodge is still there. That was built in the Victorian Era by/for Francis Godlee,who is the namesake of the Godlee Observatory.
On the whole a Good and very interesting site,just the security was high and I was short of time, by the time I got in there! I would like to go back one day and have a proper look,so if anyones up that way and is up for it give us a shout!
