Featherstone Royal Ordnance Factory

Category: , By Dr Zoidberg

Just to the north of Wolverhampton is the site of the former Featherstone Royal Ordnance factory that produced munitions for the UK's armed forces from 1940 until the late 80s.

It has been thoroughly stripped when it was sold off , but there were still plenty of interesting features left. It is in the process of being cleared to make way for redevelopment so my visit was a last chance to see what's left.

Sadly , the shower and decontamination blocks had been demolished before I got there , and as this was a couple of weeks ago there will be even less left.

This link has the full set of photos

And this link has details of what's to be built on the site.
