December 1963 when I visited so firmly in the analogue era!
Transmission hall, as Jeffrey says, at ground level. Very spacious with a polished tiled floor, double doors in the middle of the long sides with 19" cabinets either side of them - two sound transmitters on one wall and two vision transmitters on the other.
Could Nick have been confused by the layout of the entrance approach? From memory, because of the rising ground level, the entrance might have given the misleading impression of an underground bunker but if you'd been shown where the coax exited on its way up the mast, the daylight would have proved otherwise.
When we went there had been a large fall of snow and it was bitterly cold. so the last thing we wanted to do was to stand around admiring the surroundings!
