History ROF Standish was one of many Royal ordinance factories built at the start of world war 2 to assemble ammunition and weapons for the war effort. Each ROF factory specialised in specific types of ammunition and ROF Standish made .303 rounds most notably used in the chain fed machine guns on the spitfire. As with many other ROF's this one was an existing factory that was re-purposed, originally it was Imperial Chemical Industries Kynoch factory. While the majority of the factory has now been demolished and an industrial estate built in it's place the munitions storage bunkers remain intact. Explore We found this by accident while reading about local WW2 history. While reading about ROF Standish I saw an old aerial photograph that showed the factory pre-demolition and decided to compare it to google maps. it appeared that on the recent map the rough shape of the munitions storage could still be seen under the trees so we went for a look. the area is very overgrown and the weather was pretty bad so I only found 7 of what looks like 9 buildings on the old photo, I'll be going back to see if I can find the last 2 if they still remain. The buildings are all pretty samey but with the history in mind we still found it a cool explore. All the buildings and roads are sunk below ground level surrounded by large earth and concrete banks, I can only assume this is a precaution against explosions. All in all while not an amazing explore by any stretch we found it interesting.
