Description: | The extensive underground stone quarries at Corsham were acquired in 1938 as bomb-proof depots, and by 1943 the Central Ammunition Depot was the largest in the world. In addition to being a munitions depot, aircraft were assembled here. The lift in Hudwell's shaft (seen here) was the main access for aircraft assembly workers. | Subjects: | World War Ii Transport (Air) Military Aircraft Factory Arsenal | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Hesketh-Roberts, M | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
