Trecwn RNAD, Pembrokeshire.

[Maidenhead]

This is my first post on anything like this so I hope it's ok.
RNAD Trecwn is a decommissioned Royal Navy Armaments Depot, located south of Fishguard in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.
Built in 1938 to store and supply naval mines and munitions ordance to the Royal Navy, at its height during the cold war 400 permanent workers were deployed at the site, housed in an MoD built town infrastructure. The site had an onsite narrow gauge 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) railway, built using copper to reduce sparks. The weapons were both delivered to the site and then distributed using standard gauge rail to Fishguard, Neyland for Milford Haven, and latterly Pembroke Dock.
The impenetrable vally.

Couldn't believe we actually got this far without getting busted

No one around despite see security around the main gate, so we broke cover.

Seriously old train by dmoraity, on Flickr

Strange, yet not suspicious very old "building"? located just off the main road system of the complex

Looks interesting but the pics are tiny mate!

[Maidenhead]

Flickr wouldn't let me get them any bigger, would only let me have Square, thumbnail or small. Small was the biggest!!?? I tried following all the advice given on here too.

[mr beardy]

ah that might depend on what file size your camera is set up to take, what camera do you use ?

[Maidenhead]

For now I'm using my 8 megapixel HTC phone. There might lie the problem.

Shame they're so small as I'd like to see this.

Good work for trying though.

[coops]

wish the pics were bigger as looks a really intresting place but my eyes are bleeding trying to view these

[yorkietommo]

Agree with others regarding pic size, but a nice, interesting post.

Kudos for getting out there and sharing. Nice one.
