It"s a shame you couldn"t get into the magazines - I think there were four of them. Sealed by a pair of massive steel doors you entered a brick-lined tunnel maybe fifty yards long at the end of which was the storage-chamber. These were huge - it was a little like walking into a cathedral. When the place was operational they were stacked perhaps twenty feet high with sea-mines or torpedo-warheads in crates - hundreds of tons of high-explosives just sitting there. There was a narrow-gauge railway which led right into the chamber.
On a bright sunny day,there aren't too many places around as good as the Depot.

There are 7 Magazines each with narrow gauge track in the entrance tunnels. Did you find the two magazines with standard gauge rail access?
