Fauld Explosion 4 - Matt Harrison

A crater is all that remains of the hugh explosion which occured in the village of Fauld back in November 1944. 3,500 tons of high explosives accidentally blew up whilst in storage deep below the earth in gypsum mines being used by the RAF for munitions storage. Public admittance is now forbidden and a healthy wildlife reserve now occupies the crater.
