During the Second World War, an oil storage depot was built in Micheldever with railway siding connections. The depot was built into the hillside to protect it from hostile activity during World War 2, and saw little use after the war.
The depot isn't as extensive as it once was, and feels deserted since a local branch of Shell Petroleumm stopped distributing fuel from the site around 15 years ago, however over the last few months the sidings have been used to store railway carriages and reels of cable have been dotted around the yard.
Thoroughly enjoyed my visit in the sun today...
