Does anyone know more about this place? GMaps say it is a business called “infor”, but the car park looks damn fancy.

1. /r/googlemapsshenanigans is good for things like this!

2. No, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if it’s a former site of “something else”, as in radar station or some military installation. There’s a lot of the arrangement to the drive and the gatehouse area that smells of discrete or secretive.

3. It’s a satellite office for Infor, a software company that seems to specialise in business cloud products for companies. The area, Buchan Hill in Pease Village seems to have an interesting history. Nearby is a old school. No idea about the history of the specific site and car park.

4. Former met office

5. Former atmospheric monitoring station apparently.

6. A penny…. Or is it a pound?

7. We sacrifice a virgin in the middle of that circle every full moon to keep the wagamama at bay and ensure a good harvest.

   Long standing tradition among the residents of Horsham Road

8. Used to live near here. Theres a massive satellite structure just to the left of it that is more interesting. I always presumed it was for Gatwick airport, but perhaps not

9. Missile silo.

10. Til: round equal fancy

11. I can confirm it is a UFO landing site, I pull up with my extraterrestrial homies on the weekends

12. Infor? Yeah as in “what’re you in for?”

    I wish it was a prison/jail of some sort so that joke would actually work…

13. Concrete circle.

14. That is a secret missile silo where IPBMs (inter-planetary ballistic missiles) are going to be launched from when the galactic war finally begins.

    The declaration of war was sent by balloons in 50s and 60s so it should be kicking off any day now

15. Looks like a bond villain operates out of there
