Bandeath Stores

Located inside a meander of the River Forth at Throsk, 3 miles (5 km) east of Stirling, Bandeath Industrial Estate is a large general industrial and storage complex, meeting the requirements of medium to large manufacturing and distribution users.

Refurbished in the early 1980s, it is run by Stirling Council, who purchased the facility from the Ministry of Defence in 1978. Previously a Royal Naval Armament Depot, there are still more than thirty large abandoned ammunition stores regularly-spaced in rows filling the northern part of the site and once linked by railway track.

These old stores have now been overrun by locally farmed sheep, making it a rather surreal scene to stumble upon. A friend of mine who keeps an old boat at the site tells me there are old disused tunnels connecting these buildings, although I find it hard to believe with them being so close to the river.

    Excellent, like your “La grande porta” shot this is very gritty…an excellent use of B&W.

    Great tonality.
