Llanreath Oil Depot

This Admiralty oil tanks complex consisted of 17 storage tanks surrounded by earthwork bunds.

In August 1940 three German aircraft made a low-level attack on the fuel depot, causing a fire which burned for three weeks and claimed the lives of five firemen.

Six tanks survived and stood until 1985 when they were finally demolished. A single storey pumphouse and the dry moats still remain, while bomb craters to the south are visible as crop marks.
