MoD Corsham, Military complex in Corsham, England.
The Ministry of Defence facility spreads across 350 acres with 118 buildings and extensive underground networks carved into Bath stone quarries.
During World War II, the site housed the world's largest underground factory, producing aircraft components and storing over 350,000 tons of ammunition.
The underground tunnels contain Grade II listed murals painted by artist Olga Lehmann during the 1940s military operations.
The facility operates as Defence Digital headquarters, managing information technology and communications for British Armed Forces with a £2 billion annual budget.
The complex includes the Prime Minister's Rooms and Operations Rooms, designed for government continuity during national emergencies.
