Ministry of Defence hid microwave phone-tap tower inside nuclear plant
By Richard Lamont
[Excerpt]
This is the secret radio tower which the government used to intercept thousands of trunk phone lines running through Britain to the Republic of Ireland.
Although there is no direct proof that this was the tower's purpose, the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming.
The structure is located on the boundary of the British Nuclear Fuels Ltd uranium enrichment plant at Capenhurst in Cheshire, and to casual observers appears to be part of it.
It is also located right on the microwave line-of-sight between two British Telecom radio towers at Gwaenysgor in North Wales and Pale Heights in Cheshire.
