Grenoside Munitions Scrap Yard

Recommended Posts

Does anybody have any information or pictures of the MUNITIONS SCRAP YARD at Grenoside.  
This was located on the same ‘footprint’ as the ‘new’ Crematorium ... well it was new in 1999.  
Old maps show the site had a number of buildings / huts linked by, what looks like, curved trenches.

Mate used to have a Nissan hut / air raid type shelter up there where he repaired cars

The bunkers, prior to the crematorium, looked like long grassed mounds with sloping sides, as seen from the road. This pic of the radio masts gives some idea.

Cheers guys ... much appreciated.

I’ll contact Grenoside History Society when the ‘lockdown’ lifts.
