Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yardley Chase is a fairly large forest in Northamptonshire (England), which consists of two similar shaped forests, which are each about 2 miles long, and 1 mile wide, in places. The forests are about 3 miles south of Yardley Hastings in Northamptonshire, and about 3 miles north of Olney in Buckinghamshire. Yardley Chase contains some large concrete huts, about 12m (40 feet) long, and about 6-8m (20 25 feet) wide, which were used during World War II to store bombs. They continued in use after the war, until the 1990s when the Ministry of Defence shut them down when it became obvious that they would be useless in a nuclear war. The site was served by a branch of the Northampton-Bedford railway line and evidence of revetted tracks are still visible around the site which is only a few miles east of the former depot of the Northamptonshire Regiment and laterRoyal Pioneer Corps at Simpson Barracks in Wootton.
