Raf barnham situated in south norfolk was a former chemical storage site.construction of the site was started in 1954 and completed in 1955 and operational from 1956.the site was used to maintain free fall nuclear bombs and was to supply marham,honington,watton,upwood,wyton and bassingbourn..the site was short lived as free fall nuclear bombs were superseded by blue steel nuclear bombs,and all nuclear bomb maintenance was moved to the v bomber sites and the site closed in 1960,the site dated back to the first world was when it was used to store mustard gas..a lot of the site is now industrial units..but all the plutonium sheds stand..the owner of the site is an enthusiast and has restored several of the sheds and four of the five imposing towers.
