mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

[Raak] 'Brutalist' stately home? - NO
Ashton-u-Lyne? - NO

Projoy

In the North of England?

(In the EU regions North East, North West or Yorkshire & The Humber if you need a precise definition)

CdM

Can a random individual drive/walk up to this building and enter it unchallenged without invitation or other form of permission?

I know you have already indicated that it is open to the public and that there is no entrance fee, but I am trying to establish if there are any impediments to general entry.

[PJ] In t'grim regions? - NO
[CdM] Anyone anytime? *some laughter* - Since I'll be incommunicado this weekend (no phone, no TV, no shops, in fact no road) I'll give a fuller answer. The building was not open 24/7, but when it was there were no impediments to entry - somewhat the reverse if anything.

A further hint.

If you establish either exactly where this was/is or what its purpose was/is then I think getting the answer from there will be pretty trivial.
