Filling Factory No 1

EXPLORING AN ABANDONED WW2 MUNITIONS FACTORY! (WE NEARLY GOT CAUGHT)

Me and my friend (Alex), decided to come back to the place where we almost got caught last time. This was definitely one of the most insane places we have ever explored.



---------- HISTORY ----------
Royal Ordnance Factory Featherstone was filling factory No.17, covering just over 64 hectares, the factory used to specialise in filling various munitions, including, Bombs, Shells, Smoke and Cartridges.

It served a major role in WW2 but since then has remained derelict, at some point BAE Systems took over the site and kept the majority of the buildings but sold off 13 hectares to HMP Service who have now constructed a prison on the remains of certain parts of the site.

More history of the place here:



I really wouldn't recommend going here as there will always be someone guarding the area. We were just lucky this time.

ROF Featherstone - A Creepy Midnight Walk

Royal Ordnance Factory Featherstone was filling factory No.17, covering just over 64 hectares, the factory used to specialise in filling various munitions, including, Bombs, Shells, Smoke and Cartridges.

It served a major role in WWII but since then has remained derelict, at some point BAE Systems took over the site (which then turned to ROSM Featherstone) and kept the majority of the buildings but sold off 13 hectares to HMP Service who have now constructed a prison on the remains of certain parts of the site.

It was shut down around 2000 due to the public learning about what they actually used in production after a fire. The factory produced high end military gear such as penetrators for cruise missiles made from Tungsten, the factory also produced weapons made from depleted uranium (the reason why it shut down).
