Summary
| Description |
English: From the collection of German Luftwaffe flown aerial photographs 1939-1945 captured at the end of the Second World War and held in the United States National Archive, Record Group 373, GX 12059 SG, Exposure 661. National Archive NAID: 286961401.
The factory site can be clearly seen bounded to the north by the A351 road and to the south by the railway running along the shore of Poole Harbour. Holton Heath Railway Station is at the extreme southern tip of the site. The western end of Rockley Viaduct where the LSWR Waterloo-Weymouth railway crosses Lytchett Bay can be seen at the right hand side of the image. Immediately to the south of the viaduct is Rockley Jetty served by the private railway track leading there from the factory and crossing over the LSWR Waterloo-Weymouth tracks just after half distance. Unrestricted public domain status for both access and use confirmed in writing on the NARA Catalogue entry. NARA Catalogue entry: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/286961401 For clarity, I have reorientated the image to a North-South vertical axis. Image taken on 28 August 1942. |
