I'm almost 100 percent sure I've seen a post here about this building, semi-abandoned, actually used, located at a motorway stop somewhere in England with restaurants, toilet etc. I was there, inside, then on the way back, I saw that one part is used as described in the post, the other part is restricted. That's it, nothing more I can say about this place.

I couldn't even find it on the map now, looking for it so I could tell more exactly where exactly it was. But I certainly wouldn't have been so excited to see this place if I hadn't seen it somewhere else before.
Of course, one can always be wrong. My memory has failed me many times trying to remember something. Is it the same tower that was shown in this post ever seen? Is it the only such tower in England, that I should think that, once seen, it could not be mistaken for any other, for anything else?

But if this is the same tower, can you imagine how cool this is - once seen something here, quite by chance, to see it, visit in real life, and again by chance. Cool!

Wait, wait, wait, I already found it, I googled it right now, at this very moment, with the keywords tower, motorway stop and England. And now I'm really 100% sure we're talking about the same place. It's called Moto Lancaster Northbound and it's on the M6.
Cool!
