Buncefield: Three years and four months on (2)
Although most of the industrial buildings damaged during the explosion have been, or are, being repaired, and the most severely damaged ones have been demolished, some remain more or less as they were immediately after the explosion. This is the rear of one such building, viewed from Buncefield Lane, and the direction of the source of the explosion, across the car park of the now demolished Northgate Information Solutions building.

Hemel Hempstead: Buncefield Oil Storage Depot
View taken looking eastwards from Boundary Way, eleven weeks after the explosion on 11 December 2005. One small storage tank is standing but to the right of it are the remains of one of the burnt out larger tanks. The Northgate Information Solutions building, which was devastated by the explosion, was on the site on the left side of the view and has been demolished. Beyond the four concrete bollards the remains of a line of burnt out cars are still in place.

Mistral 260 in Maylands
Can't decide what the shelter in the foreground is intended to do. The bulk behind is a vast distribution warehouse built in 2005 by logistics developers, Gazeley.

Buncefield Lane, Cupid Green
Running along the side of the oil depot which burnt down in 2006. Despite the rural appearance the depot is behind the railings on the right and an industrial estate behind the trees on the left.

Buncefield: Emergency fire water pond (1)
Buncefield Oil Depot has several of these ponds scattered around the site. This one is on Buncefield Lane. Just how effective these ponds were in helping to deal with the disastrous explosion of 11 December 2005 is not known by an ordinary layman. Just over the boundary to the right is the site of the original Buncefield farm from which the oil depot got its name.

Road sign Cherry Tree Lane.
I was amused by the degree of obscurity given by foliage to the road signs. Does anybody really care??
