Notes about this historic site

1 Bomb craters evident between Old Hare Covert and the River Avon on aerial photographs mapped as part of English Heritage (EH) National Mapping Project (NMP) Presumably these features are a result of WWII bombing of the industrial complex between Whitley and Ryton. Aerial photography taken after the 1950’s show that these features have been infilled.
