In Jan 2021, I took a snowy walk around my local area and stumbled across an amazing piece of local history, hidden in a beautiful wooded area with a frozen lake at the bottom. I had to delete the video as the local newspaper had released the location when these magazine units are still in use and still very much a secret. Turns out these magazines were first used to store dynamite for the local mines. (Huge drills would make holes in the ironstone formations deep in the underground mines and dynamite would be set in the hole. The explosion would make the ironstone easy to extract.)
During WW2 these magazines were used to store bombs for aircraft at local airfields and in more recent years Kimbolton Fireworks Company used the facility to store vast amounts of fireworks.
So come take that snowy walk into local history with me.
