Old ammunition store, Charcoal Burners Road, Savernake (3)
A view of the old ammo store facing north-west. Its appearance belies its considerable historical importance. It would have played its part in the build-up to the D-Day landings of June 1944. Wiltshire has long had military significance and this is true to this day. While obtaining this image I was able to hear the sound of artillery fire from Salisbury Plain about 30 kilometres to the south-west. For a perspective on the part north-east Wiltshire played in the second world war please see this site LinkExternal link (has sound at first). This and several other images can be seen in this gallery LinkExternal link
