Royal Naval Armaments Depot (RNAD), Dean Hill

« on: March 26, 2017, 23:35:46 »

There used to be a narrow gauge railway on the Wiltshire / Hampshire border at Dean Hill

Not sure where to post it (and I helped set up the categories) so have put it under the nearest line

As I am sure you are aware, not the only hole in the ground in Wiltshire. Not sure when the tracks were lifted at Chilmark which was mainly used by the RAF^▸ (11MU). Chilmark was partly a replacement for RAF Fauld (21 MU^▸ ) after the massive explosion in 1944. The quarries at Corsham are probably the best known, used by the army as a central ammunition depot, although also used by the other services. Not sure when the connection to the Great Western main line was lifted. Various surface sites still in use.
