Big silos behind big security fence
This location is believed to have been a military fuel depot for the storage of petrol and aviation fuel prior to its distribution by road to USAAF airfields in the vicinity. The site reportedly comprised four circular storage tanks each with a diameter of 12m, with a smaller unbunded tank with a diameter of 9m to the north of the main tanks. The north-eastern half was occupied by a group of buildings arranged around an open yard. The site was connected by rail to the ports of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft and had its own railway siding to the north of the main road. Today the site is a grain store. A surface air raid shelter >
Link has survived nearby.
