i went to this place a few weeks ago, sadly i only took a video because i was interrupted by some young chaps.
i managed to go back there today with a mate and i took some pictures, i know this place has been searched alot but i enjoyed the walk around.
Royal Army Ordnance Corp Marchington, was built around 1957 and dealt with the supply and maintenance of weaponry and munitons and various other military equipment until 1993 when the corp amalgamated with the Royal Logistics Corp.
It was also a Central Vehicle Depot during this time until the barracks closed in 1970, and the Territorial Army took over until finally closing the site in the early 1980s.
Marchington also housed the Army`s fleet of Green Goddesses which came under the jurisdiction of the Office Of The Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM).
i copied that from forces war records site so on to the pics
a few pics of some of the buildings
i saw this plaque on a wall on one of the buildings
and fount a couple of interesting things in there
there's still these things left on the walls, i guess it would of been where the beds was.
here's a few pics from inside some of the buildings
and i love some of the art work
thanks for looking
