The Ministry headquarters in Horsingdon circa the early 1950s, and at the silent outbreak of the Cold War. By the mid-1970s, the Ministry would have moved their base of operations elsewhere, and the building would become the seat of Horsinsingdon Borough Council - later to be renamed as Horsingdon Town Hall.
However, it seems that the Ministry failed to dispose of all their secrets, and on occasion some unfortunate clerk or administrator will stumble across a file or document of doubtful provenance: a sheet of yellowed paper scrawled with a curious sequence of sigils, or a seemingly inscrutable mathematical formula; or perhaps an after-action report detailing a confrontation between Ministry personnel and something which should not be.
Should knowledge of a kind never meant to be contained or comprehended by human minds be transmitted in such an accidental encounter with these pieces of anomalous paperwork, consequences which are both tragic and monstrous in equal measure tend to be the inevitable consequence. And it is rumoured that there yet remains cellars full of secrets lying unread in the vaults beneath Horsingdon Town Hall.
