History​

Micheldever RAF fuel depot was built in 1939 as a fuel/oil terminal during the war, built in a cutting just down from the main train station this huge depot had 30 different size tanks all covered in a very large amount of concrete for protection, fuel was bought in by train in to the sidings then pumped in to which ever tank they needed to go. Was last used in the mid 90's, and now stands pretty bare. It is occasionally used for storage of some train carriages.​

Explore​

This was the last place i  visited on a day out @CuriousityKilledTheCat, and although it's a pretty basic explore it was one i've wanted to for a very long time. This was one of the first places I found out about when I started exploring, so it was nice to finally see it! I probably took the most difficult route down here, ended up sliding down on my ass and hoping for the best  didn't hang around too long here as we were losing the light, had a long drive home and it had started to rain!​
