Did we miss anything else we should have seen up there? Leon grew up in Bracla and had no idea they existed until now! He would have loved coming to them as a kid!
These buildings are from the 2nd world War period and were used for the construction of ammunition and bombs. My now deceased mother and her best friend (from Rhonda and Maesteg) used to work in these making the munitions for the war. they developed lung disease from working with the explosives. Never compensated by the MOD. Thus the railway track is present at one of the entrances for moving the munitions out when completed. Any nuclear bunker component came after this.
Thanks so much for the info and so sorry to hear your Mum was made ill from working here. The chap in the video’s Nan worked on the munitions in Treforest and also developed lung problems from it.
The rope lagging is more than likely asbestos.
Thankfully we didn’t get in there!
I live near these and go to them all the time
