Carver Barracks is home to the Royal Corps of Engineers, 101 Engineer Regiment 29 Explosive Ordnance Disposal & Search Group and 33 Engineer Regiment 101 (City of London) Engineer Regiment. I am unable to identify the type of bomb although the largest looks like a "Grand Slam" or "Tallboy" bomb. Perhaps some ex Royal Engineer can help. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6336145
