Sad-looking industrial sheds - and floods
Sad-looking industrial sheds - and floods
These sheds were advertised as to let.

Note that they are located at the end of a long railway siding - which also seems to lay silent these days...

Clive Warneford told me more... "The sad looking industrial sheds were at one time Ammunition buildings belonging to RAF Caerwent. For Some time when the sheds were let a company called J.T.Landscapes, ran a Railway Vehicle Scrapping business at the site, many of the rail vehicles came in by rail and were scrapped on site. This company has I believe ceased trading on that site. Other activities, completely separate, were training of armed response units using live ammunition at a time when there had been a number of terrorist incidents in London etc during 2004."
