Thanks for that Big Boy! I'd like to think that the fence and barbed wire were for keeping the local girls OUT during the evening and boring weekends as opposed to keeping the blokes IN!

I take it the Barrack side was where the houses are? If it was, then the fence is deffinatly there to keep the lads in cos its built back to front compared to our perimeter fence (Although I'm told our fence is to keep people out but maybe there hiding somthing)

OK, what the heck is "tesco"?? When did the commercialization of the military property begin and what was the last year the barracks was engaged in actual arms repair? I have heard virtually nothing remains of Fazakerly, BSA,Maltby. Is ANY new centerfire commercial or military rifle still made in Jolly Old England?

I actually like Tesco shopping there while on holidays in the UK and Europe but am dismayed they knocked down a historical site to build one...sacrilegious!
Actually sat beside the man in charge of security/loss prevention for Tesco in Europe on a flight to Krakow, great guy of course as he was ex Royal Marine and Gulf War Vet.
Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

Tesco is a large supermarket chain which is presently one of the biggest players in UK food distribution. It also has branches in Ireland, and some in continental Europe. Its rival Sainsbury's distribution warehouse occupies the site of the Waltham Abbey explosives factory. The Enfield Lock site is largely occupied by a housing estate with such names as Martini Drive, Colt Mews, George Lovell Drive and Sten Close

The Site of the London Small Arms Company LSA in Bow East London is now an Industrial Estate called Gun Warf, the side Street is still called Gun Makers Row.
