| This area taken over, in 1916-1917, by the No.7 ordinance Filling factory based over in Hayes along side the Grand Union Canal. This site here contained upwards of 24 storage concrete silos used to store the ordinance once the shells had been packed with explosives. Brought out here via the GWR railway line as far as Northolt, now South Ruislip station. Then a new rail line was cut from the other side of the GWR line across Victoria Road and then Torcross Road.. Then it crossed a newly made bridge and the line got reduced to 2 foot gauge as it entered Bessingby playing fields (park). |

| Another old bunker foundation. The tracks between each bunker was where the miniature railway linked each together. Finally
a main railway line linked this site to the GWR line. |

Nick: your comment about the bunkers is interesting, I didn't know of them. But are you sure about the GWR line? - I lived in Torcross Rd in the 1950's, there was certainly no line at that time, or sign of an old one. The nearest was at Ruislip Gardens. |

hi there moses 72......the GWR line referred to is now the chiltern line that runs parallel to the central line tube line through ruislip gardens.....the bunkers were part of the WW1 filling station.....the PRO has detailed records of this.....proximity to yeading brooke was useful to provide water in the event of a fire hazard due to the explosive magazines handeled there |
