Hard to find information on this. But what ive gathered is off locals and friends who know about it this place.
Fuel storage and refueling depot. Weather this was used to refuel Ships/landing craft, or land based equipment i don't know. But there is evidance of pipework running out into the estuary. Rumors are that it was mainly under American Military control during WW2.
There are two large tanks. each a few hundred meters apart from each other. The tank at Empicombe has all the associated buildings with it which im guuessing contained pumping equipment. There are lots of pipework that seem to go off in all directions. I know there are some very large Underground tanks closeby. Whether they are connected to this im not sure. Would make sense tho
This part of cornwall is littered with odd buildings that im told are of American military origin.
I am trying to find out more about it when i do i'll post it up. If anybody else has any Info please let me know.
