[edit]
| Description |
English: Entrance to petrol storage depot. During WWII the site served as a Ministry of Defence oil depot. It had private railway sidings which have since been disconnected but are still in place > 1607110. Serving as a petrol storage depot after the war - supplying fuel to RAF Coltishall > 538673 until the airbase was closed in 2006 - the petrol was stored in a number of subterranean tanks which are shown as lakes on OS Maps. A look at Magicmap reveals that the lakes are not lakes at all. Deemed surplus to requirements the depot was sold in summer 2009. |
