Holton Heath - Dorset

The Royal Navy Cordite Factory, Holton Heath, (RNCF), was set up at Holton Heath, Dorset in World War 1 to manufacture Cordite for the Royal Navy. It was reactivated in World War II to manufacture gun propellants for the Admiralty. After the end of World War II, the explosive manufacturing areas of the site were closed down. A major part of the explosives site became a nature reserve in 1981.

I’m also having an interest in local history. While on my travels I have always been interested what went on behind the fence at Black Hill Holton Heath.
