I lived in Eckington for a while. The deeds to my recently built Barrat house on "Soup City" stated that I had to give the War Ministry 24 hours access to the land. According to my solicitor, a branch serving the main Pluto pipe line had been laid directly under what was now my house,,, removed before the land was developed it still showed on the Land Registry.
