Description
English: The Fauld Crater. The remnants of what was the largest man-made explosion ever to have occurred on UK soil. The sheer scale of the crater is difficult to capture in a single ground-level picture and vegetation has impinged greatly since the area was decommissioned in 1967. On the day of the explosion my mother-law's grandfather Mr Charles Pegg of Hanbury was due to report for work as a police security officer but he had earlier swapped shifts with a colleague - a Mr F.C. Bowring who sadly succumbed in the accident and is listed on the nearby plaque and other similar memorials.
