NZ2946 : Concrete Bunker at Long Abandoned Munitions Depot
taken 3 years ago, 3 km from Great Lumley, County Durham, England
Concrete Bunker at Long Abandoned Munitions Depot
A large area of wasteland is set aside between Finchale Priory and HMP Frankland - passed by on the Weardale Way.
A former World War II Munitions Depot, consisting many thick walled concrete bunkers.
A half hearted wire fence closes it off from the road - although extensive nettle colonisation proved to be more of a barrier.

Weardale Way
A 77 mile route following the River Wear from the sea at the Lindisfarne Memorial, Sunderland to the headwaters in the east Pennines, keeping as close as is possible to the river. It visits Lumley Castle, Durham (where the Castle and Cathedral forms a World Heritage Site), Bishop Auckland and Stanhope. After Stanhope the Way makes a northward loop to Rookhope to take in part of a tributary, Rookhope Burn.
