Summary
| Description |
English: Norton Fitzwarren: World War II supply depot (part) Store Shed 1h is one of the few survivors of a major complex at Norton, erected in 1940-1 for the Royal Army Service Corps. The site was taken over by the US Army in 1942, prior to the Normandy invasion, and was then listed at General Depot G-50, one of 18 in the country. It consisted of warehouses, rail sheds and marshalling yards and eventually closed in 1966. To the north, part of the site, at Burnshill, had been utilised as a camp for Italian and later for German prisoners. The western end of the complex was built over after the war. In 2010 the remaining estate is being re-developed as a business park, now known as Langford Mead |
