Blocked entrance into Sexton Wood
Blocked entrance into Sexton Wood
This was one of the main entrances into the wood which was used for the storage of bombs. During WW2, a large area in the vicinity of Earsham Hall was used as a bomb store by the United States Army Air Force, known as the Earsham Forward Ammunition Depot, Station 545. Bombs were stored in a number of woods and also beside several of the roads in the area, including Hall Road, Denton Road, Pheasants Walk, Five Acre Lane, Long Gate Lane, Hogg Lane, Holland's Lane and Wood Lane. Earsham Hall was the headquarters and the camp was situated in the grounds. Bombs were brought there by railway > Link and then transported on lorries to airfields all over East Anglia.
