WWII Ministry of Supply Factory, Valley, Rhydymwyn: Danger Area - Building 143, Powder Magazine
One of two explosives magazines on the hillside above the Danger Area linked to each other by a covered 'Synthaprufe' pathway (canopy now removed). The Magazines stored the explosives used in burster charges fitted to chemical munitions, assembly of which took place in specialised buildings below the hillside. A gantry and high lift system transported the munitions from the magazines to those buildings.
