Report - monkton farleigh tunnel - March 2013

​

Monkton Farleigh ammunition depot utilised an old stone quarry below a plateau some 450 feet above the valley floor in which ran the main line railway that was its principal source of supply. Before the depot could be commissioned, an efficient means was need to bring in ammunition from the railway at Farleigh Down Sidings. The sidings were just over a mile from the depot as the crow flies but more than four miles by road along steep and tortuous country lanes.

According to the MOD the underground military stuff in Wiltshire doesn't exist so you're not about to look at this and the pictures don't exist.

I also looked at some other stuff in the area but my battery died in here
