Steyning Rifle Range was first used in the late nineteenth century to train army volunteers.The last shots were fired in the mid 80's and since then the whole area has been kept as a conservation area. A map from c.1910 shows the range was up to 600 yards long.
There are 8 target lifts still in place hidden behind a large mound as well as the fire control room but the local chavs use it as a camp by the looks of it
Shot up keep out sign
blast walls
Old metal door, has traces of red paint on it
Some lead i found in the hill behind the targets, there must be tons of these buried here
All thats left of the firing point was a mound and these bits of metal (looking towards the targets)
The only cartridge case i found
