Old ammunition store, Charcoal Burners Road, Savernake (5)
This is the only fragment of the original corrugated iron roof of the building immediately visible. This and several other images can be seen in this gallery Link
The building is what's left of an ammunition store from WWII. It originally had a corrugated iron roof - you can still see tiny scraps of it on the floor. The forest canopy was useful to hide ammunition stores from enemy surveillance planes - similar use was made of Harewood Forest and the New Forest.
