Defence Medical Equipment Depot, Ludgershall August '14

[mookster]

I do believe this is the very first post about this place. Which is surprising!

The Defence Medical Equipment Depot (DMED) in Ludgershall, Wiltshire was a part of the Defence Logistics Organisation (DLO) and provided medical equipment and supplies to the armed forces both here and abroad. It closed in 2005 and has sat empty since, I can't find any current planning applications or developers sites with it on so for the near future at least it looks like nothing will be done with it. It comprises a very large factory-type area and a few more regular military buildings including a mess hall built in 1939, whether it used to be part of a larger base I am unsure of.

Anyway me and Landie Man were bored this afternoon so drove the hour trip from my house on the chance it wouldn't be demolished and it paid off.

Thanks for looking, more here https://www.flickr.com/photos/mookie427/sets/72157646766360121/

Thanks for this.... i grew up in the village and my first full-time job was here. Think though that the pics you have of the 2 storey building were the living quarters for young army workers at the depot, separate from the depot itself (which was just the large hanger building next to the railway)

Thanks again.
