Bombs were stored in a number of woods, including Sexton Wood, and also beside several of the roads in the area, including Hall Road, Denton Road, Pheasants Walk, Five Acre Lane, Banham's Lane and quite a few more, and on the hardstandings beside this concreted track. Earsham Hall was the headquarters and the camp was situated in the grounds. Bombs were brought there by railway >
