The monolithic architecture of what was once Northwich Polytechnic’s Radiophonic Workshop; built in the early 1960s, its construction was allegedly funded by the Ministry of Defence, for reasons which remain obscure. The lack of windows is a consequence of the extreme lengths to which the soundproofing of the internal studio spaces was taken - it apparently being deemed necessary that there absolutely no sonic bleed-through into the external world was allowed from whatever was being recorded within.
Though currently abandoned, there are those who claim that the building continues to be haunted by the shocking aural echoes of sounds which were once produced with the intention of tearing the world apart.
