Oxenhope Moor Laboratories
Oxenhope Moor Laboratories
The University of Bradford Oxenhope Moor Laboratories at Cock Hill, a former Royal Air Force navigational aid station. Research was carried out here by the university to measure raindrop size for weather forecasting, to measure the apparent brightness of the stars and to monitor the atmospheric absorption of light to predict global warming effects. The installation now appears to be derelict.
