RED DOOR SERIES Elm Park Quarry BIGGER THAN WE EXPECTED

Just down the road from Corsham and the famous RED DOOR in the place now known as AREA51 we found this ex-RAF quarry. Complete with its own red doors and having been used up until 2018. We know of no other youtubers who have filmed here and we were amazed at what we saw.

Located just a mile away from Ridge Quarry.Elm Park is a fairly small quarry worked with horses and carts until 1920 for Bath stone.The hard stone was used for curbstones.

Early on in the Second World War it was acquired for use by the No. 40 Group for storage of
lubricating oils under the command of RAF Quedgely.

Unlike some of the larger quarries very little conversion work was ever carried out here, lights
were only fitted in the main haulage ways and therefore it was unsuitable for use as storage for
the drums of oil so it was transferred to No. 42 Group in March 1941.

The quarry successfully trialed the storage of larger ammunition, it was perfect for this as it had
a gently sloping adit entrance fitted with a modern electric winch which meant easy access for
large heavy explosives.However as no extensive conversion work was ever carried it out it was
deemed unsuitable for further military use and the site was taken out of action in June 1943.

Elm Park was also one of the smaller quarries ear marked by the Ministry of Aircraft Production for
intended storage space for aircraft engines produced at Spring Quarry but it was never put to use.
