Spring Quarry
Spring Quarry
The Bath stone quarry was converted into a WW2 shadow factory that manufactured aircraft engines and gun parts. After the war it was used as a Royal Navy stores and one section known as Site 3 became the Central Government War Headquarters. Although much of the underground space remains empty, a section of the western side of the quarry now forms part of the Corsham Media Park.
