HOLTON HEATH CORDITE FACTORY ABANDONED

Royal Navy Cordite Factory, Holton Heath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Royal Navy Cordite Factory, Holton Heath, (RNCF), was set up at Holton Heath, Dorset in World War I to manufacture cordite for the Royal Navy. It was reactivated inWorld War II to manufacture gun propellants for the Admiralty and its output was supplemented by the Royal Navy Propellant Factory, Caerwent. After the end of World War II, the explosive manufacturing areas of the site were closed down and some areas of the site reopened as an Admiralty Research Establishment. A major part of the explosives site became a nature reserve [1] in 1981. Other parts of the site were converted into an industrial estate; and some may be used for housing.

The Admiralty Research Establishment became part of Defence Research Agency (DRA) and DRA Holton Heath finally closed in the late 1990s. None of the site is now owned by MOD.

We decided to investigate this abandoned site for 3 weeks our first night there was amazing our only down fall was getting lost in the overgrown woods, but we infact got emf meter readings and spiritbox recordings,our second visit we ventured inside the main labs we managed to get emf readings orbs but no communication,our last visit we got a few orbs and emf readings but were horrified to find although already vandalised it had been further vandalised this site is so historic but totally wrecked by vandalision, holton heath infact holds spirits and is a totally amazing place but a great shame its been abandoned and left to be ruined.

We shall be returning in the future to this site so we can investigate further as didnt cover the underground bunkers which we are informed are full of paranormal activity.
