    It’s an interesting place!
    They were making shells dynamite gel ignite for the first word war and to use in the tin and copper mines.
    They built it all in the dunes so if they had accidents, and they did have some! The blast would be contained by the sand.
    Good video👍

      Hiya Jo and crew. Hope you're all doing well and having a great weekend. Thanks, my lovely. It was a lovely walk with the boys. We all love it up there. I recently found out there were a couple of huge explosions up there a long time again that killed a lot of people. Next time, I'm up there. I will pay my respects to them. That's alright, my lovely. It's always nice to read your comments. Cheers, Jo. Have a lovely rest of the weekend and a week ahead, too. And have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, too. Lots of love and hugs from all of us 🎄❤️🐾 xx

    That's so cool. I didn't know it was for the first world war too. Imagine working with stuff like that on a daily basis. It would always be fascinating. But also slightly nerve-wracking. If something went wrong. We'd been blown to smithereens. Reminds me of the guys that had to work the gun powder room on tall ships. Cheers, Dave. It's really nice of you 😊😊

      It really must have been. Imagine hearing an explosion like that. Would feel like the world is ending. Thanks for telling me about the UA-cam video by Mark Thomas. I'm watching it now. It's really, really good. The photos are amazing 👍😊👍
