Corsham Computer Centre

The Corsham Computer Centre (CCC) is an underground British Ministry of Defence (MoD) installation in Corsham, Wiltshire, built in the 1980s. According to the MoD, the centre "processes data in support of the Royal Navy". The centre has been similarly described by Des Browne in 2007, then Secretary of State for Defence, as a "data processing facility in support of Royal Navy operations".In written evidence to the Defence Select Committee in 2007, the Scottish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament suggested that the centre supports the software maintenance of the United Kingdom nuclear deterrent programme, Trident. A The Herald newspaper report in 2016 stated that the "UK Software Facility" (UKSF), responsible for the Trident targeting system which was upgraded in 2015, was believed to be located at the Corsham Computer Centre.The facility was built near Hudswell Quarry, and close to the Box Tunnel part of the broader complex of tunnels and quarries in the Corsham area and adjacent to the former Central Ammunition Depot built before the Second World War. It is located a few hundred metres north east of the current MoD Corsham.The site falls within a wider facilities management contract, the Bristol Bath Total Facilities Management project. It was awarded to Debut Services, a special purpose vehicle of Babcock Defence and Bovis Lend Lease, in September 2007 for a period of three years, with the option to extend the contract for a further three years.

Middlewick House
Middlewick House

Middlewick House is a Grade II listed Georgian-style house just outside the town of Corsham, Wiltshire, England. It is the home of the Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and his wife Nettie, who acquired it from previous owners Andrew and Camilla Parker Bowles – later Queen Camilla – in 1995.The seven-bedroom building, which has been modified and expanded several times during its existence, was granted listed status, protecting it from unauthorised development, in August 1986. The front range is in ashlar, using Cotswold stone, with a roof of stone tiles, and dates from the 18th century. The west wing is earlier. Until the late 1900s the house was known as Middle Pickwick House.Other past occupants of the house include the Reverend David Jardine, a dissenting minister, in the late 1700s; and Daniel Hugh Clutterbuck, in the late 19th century. The Clutterbucks were followed by Charlotte Hedworth Williamson, and in turn her son Brigadier Hudleston Noel Hedworth Williamson MC, DSO (died 1971) whose family were resident until the start of World War II. During that war, the house was a billet for intelligence personnel. Following the war, the house was occupied by descendants of Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Carleton Nicholson of Hartham Park (died 1945) and his wife, Agnes Susan Elizabeth (née Dumaresq), who were followed by The Hon David Edward Hely Hutchinson (died 1984) and his wife Barbara Mary (née Wyld), then in turn the Parker Bowles, in the 1980s.The Masons occasionally open the gardens to visitors, to raise money for charity. The gardens, which have a number of works by the sculptor Simon Gudgeon, were featured in the 2017 book The Secret Gardeners by Victoria Summerley and photographer Hugo Rittson Thomas.
