What is this??????????????? was created by Guest
I noticed this place as i was passing on the train and didnt know it was there. It is off Tillbridge Lane close to the rail crossing.
I have no info on this at all so please could anyone enlighten me.
I think its a fuel store for the Raf.

...a large underground Air Ministry Fuel depot at Stowe Park, near Gainsboro', supplying 'dromes such as Scampton.

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite

Certainly fits in with our archive. LinkI have that one labelled as Brampton.
This is as quoted in AP3236. The site seems to possess two tanks; the anomaly is that the C2 is described as a 4,000 ton tank, though total capacity is 8,000 tons, which fits.Brampton: 3,000 tons type C2? SK 861800
Brampton: 5,000 tons type C2?

Stowe Park is probably its post war label. A few fuel depots that stayed in use are now know by different names.
