Admiralty Business Park
At one time the whole of this complex was given over to the production of ammunition and ordnance. I somehow don't think I would have got away with taking pictures in those days.

RNCF Holton Heath: vintage street light (1)
- The history of the former Royal Naval Cordite Factory at Holton Heath has been well documented, spanning both of the world wars of the 20th century. The facility opened in 1916, and was in continuous operation producing cordite for the Royal Navy until 1945, the site then being placed on a care and maintenance basis. Some parts continued to be used by the Admiralty, but these too eventually closed in 1997 when the whole site was developed thereafter as an industrial estate, with many of the old buildings retained. The cast-iron lamp post in the photo is one of two at this location, being very early forms of industrial electric street lighting. Their manufacture was by the contractors Mann Egerton & Co. Ltd., and were made by Davey Paxman & Co. Ltd in 1916, the same year that the RNCF facility was opened. Image
