Description:
Site of former ammunition depot. Strictly speaking this is just over the border with Northumberland, but the site is included here as it is probably connected with the RAF base at Newcastle Airport (HER 5676) and associated defence sites. Photographed in 1993, a complex of concrete buildings, roads and earthwork remains survived. The site has probably now been cleared.
