Notes about this historic site

1 Three bomb craters are evident as earthworks between railway and the River Avon to the north of Wolston Fields Farm 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.
