RNAD Ditton Priors from the air. It was a very windy day so apologies for any jerky angles. I've interspaced the footage with some of the ground level photos I took while exploring the site. Please let me know if this format works! Royal Naval Armaments Depot Ditton Priors History The depot, which had 25 magazines and four stores for naval mines, opened in 1941 around Brown Clee Hill. The buildings were camouflaged and served by rail sidings. Trains and their dangerous cargo could then be loaded and unloaded inside. In 1960 the railway line was finally closed but the Royal Navy continued to use Ditton Priors until 1965. The following year the depot was taken over by US forces that had left France following the French withdrawal from NATO's military structure. The depot finally closed in 1968. Land adjacent to the defunct railway line was sold off by the MOD in 1971. Ten farms have been created in this area. Parts of the former MOD site are now occupied by an industrial estate and fireworks factory. Background Music: "Alone" by Aulter & Slip.stream
